He is a dealer, not the owner of the bus. Well he may be the owner now, but is not the VW owner. I really think he is selling it on consignement but that may not be the case. And he apparently knows very little about VWs or this bus in particular. The bus was shown at the Texas Classic the past couple of years and I think he may have even won best bus interior or some such award, or a class trophy, but I do not know who the owner was, that is really the reason for the post. --- On Fri, 12/9/11, ATX BUS <atx_bus@xxxxxxxxx <http://us.mc833.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=atx_bus@xxxxxxxxx> > wro From: ATX BUS <atx_bus@xxxxxxxxx <http://us.mc833.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=atx_bus@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [tcb] Re: e-bay bus To: "tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://us.mc833.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> " <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://us.mc833.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Friday, December 9, 2011, 12:26 PM Interesting that the seller has this bus but doesn't know how to count the windows.

And it's not a 13 window, it is an 11 window.

If you look closely at one of the underneath shots, it looks like some cargo floor rust has been painted over up near the front of the bus, chipped up powdercoating on the side windows. Missing the snubber on the passenger door will be the first place the paint gets all scratched up when that cargo door opens all the way and they bump door handles, cut dash. With that much money spent on the interior, better cup holders maybe? It's nice, but 26K? Nah. -----Original Message----- From: sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://us.mc833.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > To: tcb <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://us.mc833.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thu, Dec 8, 2011 8:28 pm Subject: [tcb] Re: e-bay bus Well, flip on down and you can see detailed shots of the entire bus. --- On Thu, 12/8/11, Claudette Tripp <08newbeetle@xxxxxxxxx <http://us.mc833.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=08newbeetle@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: From: Claudette Tripp <08newbeetle@xxxxxxxxx <http://us.mc833.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=08newbeetle@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [tcb] Re: e-bay bus To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://us.mc833.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thursday, December 8, 2011, 8:24 PM Kind of a strange picture, don't you think On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 5:55 PM, sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <http://us.mc833.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: Does anyone on the list have any personal knowledge of this bus listed on e-bay.
