Might be the deal of the summer.
I told two friends who are looking for campers that they needed to jump on it quick because that bus is super cheap for how dry and complete it is. They both missed out.
So who is the lucky new owner?
I'm curious what that linoleum looks like close up

I told my buddy the same thing. Kept telling him it would be sold by the end of the day.

Seller lowered the reserve and I’m tempted. I’m a sucker for dove blue. My guess is reserve set at $30K. I got underside pics and it looks solid.

I would really be tempted to buy also if I was in the market for an early OG paint single cab.
I guess it's OG paint  |

Seller said about 75% og paint. There’s been some blending done prior to his ownership. You can see the nose has been touched up presumable after removing dents.

I was also suspicious as to why most of the pictures were taken from so far away from the bus. |

Original rust with shitty rattle can blue paint.
Looks like a nice basis for a restoration. Not really any pat8na left that I can see.

And just to add to the shitposting on that truck...
Wrong tail lights
Big chunks of bondo on the rear
Rust holes all along the seam at the bottom of the nose
What looks like extensive rust on the cills below the treasure chest door.
No way that's worth anywhere near the reserve price.

Blue plates on a '67 means it came to California from another state. $17K is an awesome price if the rockers are the only problem. What about the underside/frame? |

I agree looks like a descent Bus for the money. Although it has had itś cargo doors replace w/ panel doors. Windows are the type used in panel Bus conversions, also cargo door interior panel are EZ type.

This bus looks like it needs plenty of restoration work, but it is a rare special paint standard. SK654A beige grey / sealingwax red. Monster option. Plus it has it's middle seat, and the price of entry is pretty low.
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2574646
1961 Sealing Wax Red Price: $5000
