Good deal on a set of "ambulance fans" on eBay Australia. Bidding is up to just over $100 USD. Ends in a few hours.

Hard to say if its a good deal without a price, but it does have some cool provenance.

Ended at 167 US?!
Keep an eye for buses being parted up here (Canada), I'm pretty sure they came standard and our dollar these days makes things pretty cheap.

Called on this bus today for $2800 obo, and guy already had 10 calls on it. Sold quick! He said it ran & drove great, and had very minimal rust. Wonder if we'll see it pop up on here. Nice score on an Automatic bus

If that is a a good deal, or even a fair deal, it makes me really glad I don't need one. For $8500 I'd buy a $4000 Chevy van and fill the gas tank for a few years with the left over $4500.

Yeah: Someone's trying to get their money back from an expensive build.
Someone is a cock-eyed optimist.

78 V.W. Bus - $5000 (cadiz ky)
https://westky.craigslist.org/cto/5980224894.html
| Quote: |
| 78 vw bus.. very little rust.. rare automatic transmission. I have two complete engines that will go with the bus. A 1500cc beetle engine and a 2000cc bus engine. An engine will need to be installed..I have a man that will install the bus engine for the beetle engine.. only a couple of small dings in the body, other than that it's really straight.. th bus was last registered in 97, I bought it with a notarized bill of sell. NO TITLE.. but of course one can be obtained.. I'm pretty firm on 5000.. I have way more than way tied up in it.. if you've ever thought of owning one this is a great bus to restore or drive it like it is.. will consider partial trade and cash but I'm needing the money for a family member.. call or text if intetested.. thanks.. |

Hi..
A couple weeks back, I got a small dent on my right doors. A thin line that runs on both doors. No metal exposed.
And I'm in no hurry to get it repaired. I filed a complain with the insurance company and bought some time with the surveyor so I can shop around and compare.
Obviously, the best thing to do is not be in a hurry—like the Merc and BMW drivers—but sometimes I give into the honking and flashing done by the guy (or the Miss,) who wants to zip past me.
