Hello, Yep; no haggle pricing...
It did have some bones as a starting point. Someone saw the deal even with the issues.And, that was a low to mid price range, from what people are asking for a 71 pop top westy. Believe me, I have 20 on my watch list from the last two years.

Also, It was a lot cleaner than what someone here flipped that east coast (patina-ed) bus for last year....for about the same selling price.

Just saying, the tides are rising on early Westies. People see the value of the type I engine in repair/build cost. Slow down and enjoy the views...that's what good music is for.

1970 Volkswagen pop top westy. 1600, new gas tank, german carb, pertronix dist, muffler and blue tooth stereo. Westy kit is complete minus the child cot. Ice box has the water tank. Interior needs some love, cushions aren't the best as you can see in the pics. Canvas is in good shape. I bought some pergo to do the floor which I'll include as well. I'll also include a thule roof rack. My wife and I have been all over in this bus. Camping up in the Adirondacks, Rhode island, out to boston and down to Jersey. It's been off the road for the last few years. I replaced the carb, distributor, intake manifold and exhaust then I started having a engine issue. It was like i was turning the key on and off really fast. I'm thinking it's either electrical or the cheap empi manifold. I also have a bunch of brake parts that go with it. Bus started life in California and I bought it from Texas. Body is in decent shape, usual dings and dents but no real rust. Battery tray has been replaced. Somewhere along its life there was an engine fire. Rear cushion has charred marks and someone spray painted it, poorly. They didn't even remove the spare tire..lol Bus is sold in as is condition. $13,000 cash only, face to face. I can possibly deliver for an extra charge within a reasonable distance. Texting is best during the week.

and $11k for this

https://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/d/durham-1971-vw-bus-campmobile/7281710848.html

Rebuilt engine with ~110,000 miles. It starts right up. Recently had the brakes redone at Phaeton Motorwerks in Durham. Could be a great daily driver. Needs some work to restore it all of it's former glory and it's just a little beyond my novice experience. If you're interested, I can email a video walk through. It has not been in a collision or flood.

Hello,
Well, at least its rockers are intact... compared to the red 71. The 71 looks like a POS waiting on some "I can fix that" guy.(tape and bondo). Not something I'd spend money on. But, the wheels look nice....

40k?!?! Halfway through the auction it was revealed that there is something wrong with the engine and still it hits a ridiculous number.

The pics are less than you would expect when selling something for an ask like that, but one does show a reefer burn in the seat, hippie stains must add value that I'm not seeing. Confused Razz

Hello,
For 80k, they should list the correct year....that ain't no 71. Yet, maybe that's why they have 105k into it... Cuz, they don't know shat.

HaHAhahaha!, that's dope! Laughing

Googling the logos on the bus it seems to have been part of some promotion for a strain of weed, I wasn't aware there was awards for such things, obviously I need to get out more Shocked I'm guessing the PO got carried away with his new found fame and smoked all the profits?

From the pics it's a 73, but maybe all the resin stains on the headliner make it smell older?

You'd hate to run a vacuum through it before taking those horrible photos I guess? Or pull the oil stained cardboard from underneath? Maybe even move the Bus away from the pallets (or the pallets away from the Bus)?

My guess is the rusty headlight eyebrows were $60,000 and that's where the prices come from.

This is another one of the many examples lately of people asking sky high prices for a vehicle, but not feeling like they have to justify the price to potential buyers. Maybe in some crazy universe this is worth $80k. But show me why then. Otherwise buyers will just assume its exactly like the other ones priced at 20% of that asking price and skip over it.
