Yeah “to the smallest detail” apparently doesn’t include a stock exhaust system, correct rim color paint, or bothering to take the masking tape off the engine compartment wire labels...
For that price it even comes with a flame thrower coil and ready-to-crap Pertronix ignition! Is the carpet even correct? I feel like it should have green up front instead of rubber mats too...
I hope it sells to someone who can appreciate it for what it is, because if I bought that thinking it was an immaculate restoration and found out otherwise, I’d be frustrated. But then again, I don’t have that kind of cash laying around, so maybe the folks who do don’t care??

I like the gravel guard in place of the rubber seat stand mats and naked door panels myself, that's attention to detail for sure
Sadly there are suckers that fall for that hippie love in schtick and can't see the details through the rose colored glasses (Hasta Alaska Ben thinks the sun shines out of that guys ass for example), but eventually some take them off, his feedback thread is rather epic IIRC. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

That can’t be the price. Looks more like a zip code. _________________ David

You would think it would at least come with an engine seal and blower fan tubes. Perhaps you can pay them a little more for those extras and maybe they'll refurbish the propane tank too and get you the correct door cards, too! _________________ 77 westy 2.0 FI

But it's "show quality", I counted at least 10 mentions of that, I wonder if that's a new record? _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

Anyone that would pay anywhere near those prices on those two "show quality" buses have to fit in the picture above.
The second bus screams "Um yea, could I get the bus w/out broken suspension that has it looking "kewl"... _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

And ten years ago, we would have said the same thing about a $20,000 price tag.

I recall this guy having a pretty extensive feedback page,some of it not so positive including a few "back and forth" pages between him an unhappy customer..I'm personally unbiased to the seller,but am curious to why his seller feedback page is empty now,and has been that way for awhile,seems like all was removed,positive and negative? _________________ '68 Campmobile-Pedro

Hello,
Shag carpet is going to be making a comeback. But, I'm not sure about it as a headliner/paneling choice...
Gotta love that lite east coast patina... |
