Its alot more than 30 or 40k to restore that bus unless your time is worth nothing. It would be thousands of dollars in time alone just to find the parts....

Actually,it was Lind who coined that famous phrase(the disco bus)...I had that bus listed for sale on the samba a couple of years ago....I caught a lot of shit over that bus (price wise)...now you see a total piece of shit BD for sale on this, or other sites, with crazy prices, and no one says much....it's the market I guess....the market dictates what these buses are worth...... |
The disco bus name was already taken years ago....and that bus is NOT the disco bus. How about "The clown bus"? |

I think it just needs someone with some 'bottle and glass' to remove the paint and bondo, and take it from there. _________________ 64 356 C Coupe |

i would bet it could be stripped and show its inner beauty...looks like a nice and like gerson said"honest" bus but, i think at the price gerson sold it for it is more in line with value to price ratio.now to finish that bus it seems a little out of line with the price on it now.
i really like the rack on it... |

if the rack was off and the ragtop aperture was inspected then i reckon there is 3k ukp in missing bits!
there isnt a great deal of "non standard" bits on it, just a shame that the bits that are missing would cost in the region of what the bus is being sold for (if you could source them) |

huummm. Can you find one cheaper? I can't think of one that has sold in over a year at a price like that. I think it's a deal, but i don't think the UK is step'n up to the new DLX barndoor prices. Not a knock on the UK, just the facts. If you think you payed to much today, just wait to see what they go for in 10 more years!!!! |

hasn't quite been 10 years but way to predict the future bubba! at the current rate if you buy the bus today for 200k and it triples in value again over the next 10 years it'll be worth 600k? the real question for me is what is someone realistically willing to pay for it? _________________ <<<<< that's not me just a VW homie we call crazy chris |

Ain't gonna happen at that price. People who have that kind of money to spend on a car don't want something that looks like a swap meet hauler. Fully restored yeah, maybe, but in that shape, no way. _________________ Go Reds! Smash state!

On a sidenote I believe there's people out there that-money has no value when they want something and they're is not very many available they will buy what they can get and most people that have a nicer one haven't because they like it and it's not for sale _________________ (20-024785)Ambulance (20-037784)truck (20-035850)panel
