Looks like a round '65 windshield wiper squirter. Radio hole looks like a hack.
It's pretty trashed & will be a lot of work to remove & cut up.
There's some money in parts there... but, I wouldn't want to spend much... like not more than $500.
Just what I see...
A couple/few hundred if the front clip is nice.
Front door if not rusty & good hinge halves... $450-$550-ish.
Cargo door if not rusty & good hinges... $300
Spring plate... $50
That cage on the back makes me think it had a V-8 / radiator.
If I bought it where it sits... I wouldn't want to remove the bus... just take a battery powered impact wrench and a battery powered sawzall w/ extra batteries/blades.

No... not '67. The cargo doors are low hinge , but the indent on the front cargo door is for an ice pick front door, unless I'm mistaken.
Or, it could be a parts pile of different years?

| Put me down for '67 as the finger lift on the gas door and wide plastic squirter (if I'm not mistaken) plus wide radio hole but before backup lights. |

Cargo door indent for the front door handle is push-button doors |
You know, one day you'll be wrong...It's not today though.

I live in Turkey and don't think about selling. Parts are hard to find in Turkey, so I'm gonna restored. unfortunately i didn't learn the model 
I bought the car had psychological problems, he cut it all over. I found all the pieces that were cut.

Look at the overhead fresh air vent... on the passenger side.
Find the aluminum chassis plate.
Like shown here:
See the upper left of chassis plate.
It says "Typ 22"
When you know your "Typ __" number... you can tell what model it is here:
VW bus model number
The "Typ" number will also be the first two numbers of the VIN.
The third number of the VIN is the last number of the year.
In the example above, it is a Type 22, made in 1967 = 227
The numbers following 227 are the chassis number.
You can read more about the chassis plate at the Vehicle Identification: How to read your M-Code and Chassis plate page.

| Earlier today you had a vin plate posted. Is the number in the upper left 23 or 28 it is partially cover by a rivet. That in itself is odd. That plate should be screwed on. Also that vin starting with 232 is odd. Maybe some plate swapping going on in this thing's past. |

This doesn't sound right, can you post a photo of the VIN plate or the full number or some more digits from the complete number?

The pic is still in his gallery. The best I can tell it is the vin plate from a 72 kombi. How many digits are after the 232? It's definitely not a 1957 plate.

| By the channel for a hardboard headliner it is a model 23 meaning kombi. I don't see the finger hook on the fuel door. I see a bent fuel door but it looks to me like a 65 or 66 bus from the pics. If it had a 67 dash why would they have hacked it into a large opening. Do you see mounts for seatbelts in the cargo floor or in the front of the engine bay shelf for the rear seat like a 67 would have? At this point you need to see if the original vin stamping is on the shelf by the battery tray towards the engine and where the rear apron would mount. |

I know not the market for buses in Turkey- but every minute you spend cutting anything off that hulk is time NOT spent hunting for a better example. That kombi belongs to the jungle.
