Boy did I screw that response up: I meant to say those are definitely NOT the
same busses. e-bay vs. the Samba. They have different engines. One on Samba
appears to have correct engine and one on e-bay has later engine as described
below.
But, apparently a Nigerian scam artist has picked up the e-bay ad and
advertised the same bus on the craiglist. See my later e-mail on the response
to the craig list.

says it is in IL. The one on e-bay also says impeccably restored to exacting
specifications. And it has a 1500 or 1600 engine with an alternator! And on a
57. Now, how about the one in Austin?

I'm not sure they are the same bus. Look closely at the engine components.

Interior roof is different, too. One's white, the other's beige.

Dang near everything else is the same, though.

If you notice on the Austin ad the license plate is blacked out. on the Ebay ad
it's the same bus and has blue plates on it from Gurnee, IL. If you look
closely at the photo's you can see its the same surroundings, same garage, same
house next door. But listed in 2 different states. I say SCAM!!!

and looked again. On the Samba ad it says it is in Houston and the price is
$52,500 and it is a 58. On the craiglist ad the price is $7,500 says it is in
Austin and the bus is a 57. And it appears to be the same (*&^^%$#$@ bus. I
haven't found it on e-bay.
Does anyone know the seller?

Mark: How did I misread the ad. The craig list ad very specifically says
$7,500 and is Austin craig list and appears to be the same bus listed in
Houston except one year different 57 vs.58.

$50,000.00 is the asking price. It's on thesamba and E-bay. I think it's a
scam!!!
