I've been thinking about an early to mid 60's VW Bus. I don't particularly want a camper but I found this '69 Westy. Isn't this an unusually good price for the condition? http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/cto/4719797588.html

Anyone else looking for one of these?

he means it's a 1975- probably a scam- closer value is $15k. Maybe he forgot the one in the price Very Happy

yea that looks like a joke. '69 low miles on the original 1600. So much wrong with that to begin with.

Also that is 100% a scam

Thanks but I am looking for a 60's. Preferably a low to mid-60's.

Bud,
You are in the bay window forum. Bays started in 1968. Go find the split forum.

Sorry but my original post was not intended for looking for an earlier 60's Bus. I posted mainly because of the Orange '69 model that ended up being a scam. The ad says it's a '75 and has already been removed.

Well, pardon our confusion, then.

What ARE you looking for?
