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 Confused

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.

That would be the element considered “signs of economical bursting”.
Nice ride. Bad price.

Whoa, whoa there on that price Mister. Shocked

I believe it's the highest price I've seen yet for a bay bus.


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

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!

The exchange rate must be ridiculous now. I'm guessing tariffs...

Almost $97,000 in 'Merican dollars.

But it's "show quality", I counted at least 10 mentions of that, I wonder if that's a new record? Rolling Eyes

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"... Rolling Eyes

And ten years ago, we would have said the same thing about a $20,000 price tag.
So ya never know... we might all be driving our future retirement account! Dancing

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?
