Did it find a flipper or same seller with new user name. As the old user relisted it over and over as a new ad.
Edit: new user posted on here and deleted it already. .
I can't quote it as he deleted it. I'll just tell you what he said. He said something about buying the gerson side panel costing $900 shipped and to not whine about the bus because it is better than other busses in the $5000 range.
I believe him saying that may give credit to my calling this user out as the old user with a new name. This new user sure knows about and how see the comments in this forum. |

It's the smaller sized bay window deluxe chrome emblem and it's mounted too low.

Good lord! Look at the back side of the PS gate. What does the rest of the bus look like from the back side? Looks like 10# of walnuts in a 5# bag.

At least put something on the back side of the gate, fer cryin’ out loud.

At least you can see how much filler was used on the gates 
My favorite part is the bottom of the V on the nose..if you're going to sculpt it out of Bondo, at least get the shape right!!

...and what the hell are those three front-to-back tubes on the passenger 1/2 side of the undercarriage? Those funky "Karmann" gates are the first thing I would have removed. Rear bench seat metal stand is from where? What is "German" (in the ad title) about this DC? Pointed front bumper on a 1962? Front and rear bench seat backrests are from what? Quite a few wacko items for a "German" DC. Almost certainly a Brazilian vehicle perhaps purposefully mis-represented as a "German" produced DC. It is not.

Looks like an early pressed hubcap, could be a Ghia or convertible, would like to see what color that is.

Good idea, I used to have a set of Blue hubcaps a long time ago from an early Ghia.
Going from memory I thought they were Trout Blue.

Hi Bill,
This double cab is certainly a shit show, but it is German built. The double cab body style was never built down there as a split window. They did start building them in SA during the bay window years. Built in Germany and then exported to Uruguay as per the M code plate. I spoke with a importer who imports these things and he told me split window double cabs were never built at the Brazil factory.

Those tubes running lengthwise on that double cab were probably
from an earlier aborted Subaru conversion done in the past

Ducting to protect air conditioning or supplementary heater pipes?
Dusty conditions stuff?
It looks like there's also a duct-type entrance in to or through the bed support rails at top left in this picture...
