Buddy L VW at antique store

[1lowdelivery]

I found a Buddy L VW bus. It was a large scale bus, blue and white, made in the USA. They wanted 8 bucks for it. It was a little rusty. Should I go back and get it?

Was it the 21 window style with sliding plastic sunroof? I have the orange and white one. I would buy it. Post photos if you get it........

I think damn near any Buddy L is worth good money.?

[sixfootdan]

Not if it's been beat to hell and someone repainted it, But for 8 bucks it would be cool to have anyway. I have a Tonka Dunebuggy that someone painted. I think it ruined the value but I still like it.

Eight bucks is pretty good for any VW toy...I'd say go for it.

I bought the pink Buddy-wagen at a Tulsa antique store for $25. Some dude sold one on ebay that same week for $175 (missing headlights), and a mint one in the box for $280!

If they all sold for that kind of $$, this guy has some serious grip

I call this the Buddy Brigade.

If you call that the Buddy Brigade what's this called?

They had 2 types of door hinges- so check for damage, Also used 3 rivets to hold the body to the chassis but usually if repaired they had small bolts and nuts.

the doors (tin type) had bent tabs and a bent piece that acted as a stop.

the seat inside fold own to form a platform.

gold stick on front emblem usually gone.

So i've been told.

ya $75 to whatever.
came in colors and ski and surf models.

It started with this

25 years later it turned into this

Oddly the Buddy L Bus never interested me
I moved to Morgan Hill, Ca 3 years ago, all of this stuff is still in boxes in the Storage room of my garage.
