Pretty unusual bus but $135k? For a Kombi?

Have to agree, just goes to show I have expensive taste, but not the fortune to afford me up.
A kombi-sunroof-dove blue..

Talk about a sketchy past on this fake Westfalia:
" The vin plate , m plate removed and stamp vin in engine compartment was torched. Current identification is a two State of California ID tags, one on driverside doorjam and one in engine compartment. PPPO cut the metal from the bulk head and left the structural cross beam. "

Why waste the ad line space by throwing in frivolous crap like following the point of origin unknown remarks- that it may have been shipped to LA, SF or Seattle? There's no traceable history on this creation! The lack of story paints a more accurate bustory than the one fabbed up for the ad.

This thing was ridden hard and put away wet. I guess you don't get much for $39,500:

Im trying to figure out if the rockers too thick or the doors too short. Either way it’s full of fuckery. And how is it being claimed as a dry Arizona 15 unless once he got it to Arizona he washed it and it dried off.
