It's hard to tell anymore what anything is worth. You've all seen the BJ auction. But re doublre cabs, story I got was that Mike Doarn sold his a couple of years ago for $34,000. Total original resto cept wrong colors, wrong interior, and chrome in all the wrong places. Not knocking the truck, it was really nice, just not correct for an original.

I used to haul Bus parts in my '62 23w when it was my only Bus *gasp*! I'll bet I still have a picture of it loaded to the headliner somewhere. I don't see using this new purchase that way though. We left early this morning and have gone 525 of the 1330 miles at this point.

"It comes with a complete set of oak bed slats, unattached, which can be set in the bed for a show, and then removed." God forbid you should get a scratch on your commercial truck's hand-sanded-to-perfection bed slats! I wonder if he rolls it off the trailer into a hermetically sealed bubble in his garage when he's done at the shows? So people pay professionals to build them a bus with the intent of getting it in a VW rag to elevate the resale price? I should be happy that this bus may ship to Japan as my "beautiful double cab will continue to grow in value." I will have to watch this auction. At $20+ (reserve not met!) I guess I will be able to finance my kids college education after all- apparently the bus scene is getting too expensive for regular Joes anyway.
