Wow... no front vents, grafted roof from a split, nice cheap coil, and 60k+ lol |
That one gets my vote as "Most Hideous Bus of 2018". |
I'd roll the shit out of that. The roof is not a grafted split, look at the contours. It is a very well done custom job. The same attempt could have been made by some novice hack, but this is well executed. Now....purists please continue to rant. |
It's good to hear that someone will appreciate it. _________________ -Kent-

$79,497.16 in US dollars.
Could they at least remove the Chinese junk parts off the engine and install the correct, restored German ones for this price point? _________________ Contact me at [email protected]

First of all. I have one of these already thank you
I too got mine in Oregon, well preserved - no like actually preserved - unlike this with a nasty PO hacked up cabinet seat config. Mine did not have the original carpet though.
Words that are used as frosting or is it BS? Cant remember how the saying goes.

Reese Whitherspoon, truly one of the most dynamic, energetic, amazing crafstmen in her field. People should be honored that she even glanced this buses way, nay! Could not take her eyes off it! Now if she only sat on the seat, that would be truly epic and worth maybe a 10k bump.
Shit I do like the asked price. If it sold for that - then they would flip ape bandannas to see my REAL nice bus

You think they could get the front reflectors on correctly for that price…

Well I was being a bit over dramatic. Its a nice bus with a verbal blow job of a description.
Just not 60k nice. I wish that condition and model was then mine with the upgrades both modern and vintage, should be worth more.

This seller is nothing short of a genius!
He has figured out how to slam a bay window without a lot of cash or effort.
Just remove the tires, and run it on the rims. Puuuuuuure geeeeenius! _________________ -Kent-

Click on through to the underside... (That was Jim Morrison, and I'm talking about the photos).
methinks the person who did this ad and the person who did the restoration didn't talk to each other. |

I suspect they did, "Slap on a coat of Resale red and throw in some fresh upholstery as fast as you can so I can get this turd out of my life before it breaks in half, those suckers on Ebay will buy anything"
At least the guy admits it's "rusty"
The frame patch is spectacular
