You might want to reconsider that statement.

Funny how Brazilian split busses are 18-25K yet this German bus is offered at $42k

That $42k bus will never sell as is, so it's a pointless comparison. He'll be lucky to get $25k out of it, and it'll be a long wait to find the right buyer. |

I would think a nice German Bay camper should be worth more than a shit house, beat over Brazilian split.

Not interested in watercooled, but thats pretty cool that they kept the older bodystyle on a more modern platform.

Not sure if this one has made it to the Whines:
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2316575
I really hate any Woodstock reference to sell a Bus, if you have PHOTOS of it @ Woodstock, then I'd beleave you, BUT just because someone lived near the concert area, does not mean it was there. And why does a '69 have '71 & later wheels ?? Did they swap the front end & trans from a '71 ????

Hello,
Because they dropped the brown acid.....
It is a 1971, with a bug exhaust....and no mustash bar hooked up.
Sure no rust with the windows out....
Don't believe an old hippie..... |

Shortened it for my preference. The relationship has long been screwed when they parked it without windows, or if this is actually a '69 and not a '71, when they modified it.
Either way, "being at Woodstock" is like selling a '79 Plymouth Volare wagon "WAS AT'79 DAYTONA 500!" because some random family drove it and parked it in the parking lot for the race. Who cares?

I think this seller left a decimal point out of his selling price...
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2306357
At $149.99, he may find a buyer.

Thats different. Ok, I'll try to keep an open mind. I guess in places where it never rains, this is a cool vehicle.
To me, it's more that someone took a good bus and made a totally useless vehicle out if it.
I suppose you could fab up a convertible jeep-type top and make it into a convertible single-cab of some kind, that might be cool. Or find a parts bus and weld a roof back on it.
Hopefully someone saves it.
