I think the bus was actually "customized" at one point, because the roof and back of the roof is white, as the gates had white accents...as you can see from the pictures. |
The red framed window is from another bus that had "pop-out" side window's. One of the reasons to ask for other buses. Did you ask about the hoops and canvas?
M-plate is on the bulkhead behind the passenger side of the cab. Pull out the back rest and hopefully it's there.
What are you going to offer? Like I said, if you really want it bad $600 is a good price. But, I'm sure you can get it cheaper.

We searched the whole yard, theres only one bus.
i will ask about the hoops and canvas, but im gussing there long gone.
heres a few pics from the yard...
That was just a very small hint of whats actually in the yard.

From those photos, and depending on how accessible it is...my first offer would be $300. Then it would be paper, rock, scissors from there

Agreed^^^^. I just got my 63 Ruby Red single cab on the road and Im looking at this thing thinking, I could use those treasure chest doors, both bumpers, radio block off plate, etc.. I would buy that thing for $600 right now just so I could part it out for my single cab.
In my opinion, just the bumpers alone are at least half the value of that truck. Title or no title, it would be a done deal for me!
BTW, how bad are the gates and treasure chest area? |

In my silly opinion- Red should add $100-500 of the purchase value to any beater truck- based on relative scarcity. Go get it. You'll always get your investment back should you change your mind.

Well, spring is well underway, and my restored superbeetle just left the yard to a new home, so its time for a new VW to sit next to the baja.
I think im the new owner of a single cab.
Heres some better pictures, still havent checked that place 
...and... its coming home next weekend. I picked it up for $300 bucks.
This is mostly my dads baby, he wants to do the whole 9 yards, paint body etc...full restoration.

Good snag !!! Singlecabs are cool/different and make a great work bench too !!
Be happy w/ the dual chester-- it makes working in the TT area waaaaaaay easier. Clean that Truck out & let us see what you have.
