Maybe need a new category something between run it as it is and restore it. Definitely worth 200.00 but maybe not the best candidate for resto but definitely needs a bit to roll it as it is.

I would buy it for $200 but I don't think you could run it as-is with the bed that low.

I'm guessing there are engine compartment and other issues that either make it impossible to get going or not safe to drive.

At the very least you could cut it for parts, but im sure its fixable.

Yes Brian... played with it for a few months and then sold it to one of the Tahlequah guys... I bring it up cause i'm feeling nostalgic. Don't find cool stuff, like that anymore... like when we traded my 1960 23 window for your 1964 double cab - were just great VW times - that are fleeting...

I hear you. Tons of busses I bought and flipped for cheap I should have kept. Bought for $500 or less and sold for $200 profit. I thought I was making a killing Rolling Eyes
