VintageBus.com Image Gallery - Rare Buses and Parts

Pix of rare cars, parts, and accessories. I tend to be fairly conservative as to what is considered "rare," as the term is very overused.

1959 truck shortened bed
Here is the 1959 VW truck I built several years ago, I cut 36" out of the bed and welded it back together. Flares the fenders, put wooden side rails, cab lights, west coast mirrors, exhaust stacks.

01/30/03 JOHN B. IT CAME TO ME ONE NIGHT IN ONE OF MY BOUGHTS WITH INSOMNIA, IT WAS MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE SHAPE OF THE HALL SO RESEMBLED A BUS, RIGHT UP TO THE ROUNDED OFF CORNERS AT THE CIELING, YOU CAN' REALLY SEE THAT IN THE PHOTO.I JUST KINDA DESIGNED IT AS I WENT, WITH THE BASIC IDEA OF A VW BUSS REPLICA.
01/30/03 rommie It's fantastic!! Did you have to design it first?
01/28/03 JOHN B. TOOK A LOT LONGER THAN I ANTICIPATED, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT FOR THE REACTIONS IT GOT. SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THINGS DONE AROUND THE HOUSE IS TO TURN THE JOB INTO SOMETHING UNIQUE, THIS WAS A LOT OF FUN.
01/27/03 rommie WOW!!! How long did this take you to paint? You must be compleatly VW mad!

03/27/03 Dianne this is great! I love it.
02/21/03 josh i was wondering.. is that painted on your ceiling, or your floor? cause it looks real weird with the door there...
01/11/03 John Flowers John,

You should market that as a kit.
You'd probably sell a lot of them.
01/10/03 mike you should paint that on the outside of your garage door

02/28/03 eric a buddy of mine is leaving portland headed for PAMONA CALIFORNIA right now(11 pm 2/27)with this seat. the seat is not yet sold but if anyone is interested it will be sold to the highest bidder before he returns on monday..503-740-9457
01/07/03 curtis I presently own a 1959 westfailia trailer. I am looking for more information on these old european caravaner style two wheel trailers.The trailer is in original condition withsome rust around wheel wells.I have the origional owners manual and the trailer also has the origional red and white attachable tent w/seperate change room.The one piece sink/stove top is stainless and has louvers that match the outside vents on the trailer.The door mounted gas furnace is mint condition.Only problems origional wiring is bad and old flex hose for propane needs replacing as well as regulator attachment.Any one interested may be for sale due to work injury stopping restoration project.rarer than hens'teeth
01/04/03 lind I always get a kick out of the difference between asking price and selling price. I always see some item at swap meets that is overpriced and then hear someone else spewing on about how that it what the item is worth because they saw someone asking that price at a swap meet. an item is worth exactly what someone will pay for it.

this seat is a kombi seat. it is rarer than a microbus seat, but worth less and less saleable because the people that are putting big bucks into buses are most often putting that money into deluxes. most of the potential people who would possibly pay top top dollar for an original seat for an original bus couldn't use this seat because it doesn't match their bus. even if it was in my price range, I wouldn't buy it because I would have to recover it to match my bus.
01/03/03 eric "the baby card"? was not a card. my babies coming if i sell this seat or not.hell he might even get to play on it when he's old enough.
i think incynr8 is the only person with any sense who has responded to this post
01/03/03   It's worth what someone will pay for it. If it's still festering for sale @ $1000, then it's obviously not worth $1000 to anyone who knows it's for sale. I see overpriced stuff at shows all the time, that people drag from show to show to show, ever hopefull that some desperate/clueless person will cough up the cash.

Oh, and the 'baby on the way' card is *so* played out...
01/03/03 incynr8 If you add up taking a free frame, blasting it, painting or coating it, wax spraying it, buying all pads, buying correct covering, installing it, buying perfect bars, and adding all the time together, you just bought this seat, and maybe more if you can't achieve all the processes without farming some work out. Wishing someones higher dollar bus to burn for the abily to afford this is just reprehensible.
I just hope it goes to someone with the exact year and interior to complete a restoration at ANY stage.
01/03/03 eric i don't mind puting money into my bus to fix it up but it will probably never see a full resto.so this seat is way too nice for my bus.i think there's someone out there that will be happy to get this seat.i think it might be a little hard to get a 40 year old seat thats perfect. so if the seats not worth 1000.00 than what is it worth?? 10.00? 20.00?........
01/02/03 Jules I justify all the recent expense on my bus, havin just had another baby, It's a family thing after all. hell 3 more kiids & i can justify a resto on a junked barndoor!!??.
Still would not pay 1000 bucks though
01/02/03 Spengdog Yeah, yeah, sob, sob, If you can get that for it, fair play, but dodn't expect people to be chuffed with you for trying! Jeez, 1000 bucks for a seat!
01/02/03 eric hey look, i'm not trying to make a career out of this kind of thing. i would have purchased the bus this came in even if the seat was missing.the fact is i'll be a dad in about 5 months and need some cash.i hate to let good original parts just rot away because someone is saving them for they're "dream" car. anyway it is what it is.....
01/02/03   Hey John, thats the difference between us and them. To guys like us its a hobby, and to guys like them, well they turned a hobby into a career. I know the seat is nice, and it will probably sell for the asking price. But I hope that the guy that buys that seat, I hope his bus burns up.
01/02/03 john baker couldn't have said it better myself, i need one of these pretty bad, but not for 1000 dollars, that is more than i paid for my bus!
12/31/02   Its a nice seat, but thats a good thing cause you will be sitting on it for probably 25 more years.

01/27/03 Lindsay The guy who restored my '64 Standard sold the middle seat from it for $1000 so that is not unreasonable at all.
01/23/03 eric oh your original
01/20/03 jdrestorations WILL IT BE WORTH 2000 BUCKS WHEN YOU TRY TO SELL IT 25 YEARS FROM TODAY. THATS HOW MUCH LONGER YOU WILL HAVE IT AT THAT PRICE.
