Yeah, the keyword spamming/dealer speak alone makes me wary.
Outwardly it's better looking than many of those "built for auction" buses though, needs an inspection by an unbiased expert in person before I pass judgement.

Check out the sides of the front seat. They couldn’t even be bothered to pad the springs. How long do you suppose it will be before the springs are poking through the new covers? Barrett-Jackson, here we come!

| Too bad his marque specialist that installed the headliner didn't use the cards under it on the "B" pillars like the factory did. Radial white walls suck! |

I respectfully disagree - I find that the font is acceptable.

That's a good deal of coin for a fake.

well, it is only partially fake if it started as a factory deluxe and just had the sunroof added.
However, it should have belly pans for that kind of money.
I personally like single color deluxes, especially lotus weiss

That's kind of gross, maybe should clean them up first.

This has been on our local CL for a minute: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/d/1959-vw-bus-single-cab/6725365349.html
Now, it's popped up here as well: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2222119
I don't see $9,000, but I'm not too savvy on the current truck market. Looks like the lower 6" - and maybe the upper 6" too haha - are long gone, the rear wells have been cut back, and the list goes on of the things (read: money) that will be needed.
