Yet another horrible ad. I expect 40k worth of description and pics. _________________

Hmmm....., it does look nice, but the engine room savagery might be an indication of other corners that were cut throughout the bus. It would likely cost that to build something similar, needs way more pics to justify a price like that though. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.

I have spent twenty hours this week re-manufacturing and struggling with shit aftermarket parts while instaling my exhaust & heater boxes complete with pre heat tube, flaps in the shroud, etc.
A special shout out goes to Kadron for the pathetic (stock T2) exhaust system and the shit heads who produced the OEM hardware kits where only the six crush gaskets and the two band clamps for the heater boxes fit. YOU SUCK!
Putting one of those together is tricky enough to do right with correct parts, you turned a challenging job into a misery.
Thank you for listening,

yeah if by "fully reconditioned" you mean missing the rear engine compartment baffle, the entire air filter assembly and the exhaust system, no pop top, no curtains,no details about the brakes, or the electrical ,then...ok. _________________ '88Doka JX td

I agree with Notchboy and Busdaddy...
If you want top dollar for your bus, you need to post a top tier ad. If I'm going to consider spending that kind of $$, I want about 10 times as many pictures.
I wish I/we could know how much these end up selling for. _________________ ~Kevin

So on sites like Bring your trailer and eBay you can search for ended auctions to see what bids got to and or what no reserve auctions actually went for. I look for things like that every once in a while just to see.
Most things sell for less than you think. Unique (and that is relative) things always fetch more. I've seen very common things that had detailed descriptions and great pictorial support sell for more than they are worth. Also, poorly described, mispeilled and very few pictured ads of rare and hard to find items go for a song. _________________

Says he got it for a split and does not fit? Well yeah. Maybe the aftermath of a dodgy deal?
I was dumb enough to buy this for a high outrageous price as I thought it was for a split. Turns out its just cheap bay shit. _________________

By New England standards it's pretty dry, though I think there's a bit too much rust juuuust starting to justify his asking price. _________________ '78 Bus 2.0FI
