Looking to purchase strong OG paint bus….Project Considered if the paint and originality is strong .Pre 1960…..running is a bonus WHYG? email mark.curbishley@btinternet.com

By your own description this is not what your looking for.  Be patient. Don’t settle. Keep stackin’ coins until that STRONG OG PAINT bus does come along.  This is not the one for u.

We will build it if it comes.

Above your price range but had to share:

Available now from Holy Grail Garage is this rare August of 1958 Mango Green and Seagull Grey Standard Microbus that left the Volkswagen factory with pressed bumpers. The first approximately 10,000 Buses built during 1959 model year production came with pressed bumpers. Not many of these, as you could imagine, and I’m certain that many of you have never seen one before this one! $39,500. Thanks! #volkswagen #splitbus #pressedbumper #1959 #mango #mangobus #standardmicrobus #ogpaint #stockheightsalright #36hp #1192cc #6popouts #holygrailgarage

For all the guys that tell me “hey man, please let me know when something cool, early, solid, and original paint comes up! I’m serious and have cash waiting!” Well, here is your heads up! This rock solid and rare August 1958 production Mango Green and Seagull Grey Standard Microbus was one of the first approximately 10,000 Buses made during 1959 Model year production so it came from the factory with pressed bumpers. Only a handful of these neat transitional Buses are known to still exist today. This one is dry, straight, has all 3 original Caramel seats including a near mint middle seat, the Caramel interior panels, a 36hp, fresh Firestone bias plies, factory 6 popouts with long spoon latches, and the roof rack is not included. Priced at $39,500, more pics and details coming soon so get permission from your lady and cash in your aluminum cans! Don’t be late because it’s a lot of cool and honest Bus for a very fair price! Thanks! #comingsoon #holygrailgarage

$40k for a bus that’s stupid..what the fuck makes it worth $40k? Not a motha fucking thing…just you and some other dumbass thinks it’s worth it… $1500 new, $40k now used..you can’t do anything with that pile, but drive 43 mph and worry about every other dickface on the street…vw prices are a joke.

Do something

[Rustabus]

#11138

Yup!!! This makes no sense!! Still wish I had 40G in my pocket for this one!!!!

U could subi convert it, make it do 90mph and drive it like a modern car and reduce its value by 10k. ?

We will build it if it comes.

[Andym]

#11142

Amen pat!!! No fucking used up bus is worth that….I get it if it’s restored, but it’s not. everyone offer $1500 bucks for bus and drive the prices down.. stop one up’ing everyone…but it’s all about snap on tools and who has a bigger dick…

I’ll go back to my subaru late model corner now..

Do something

[curbo]

#11144

Thanks for the heads up Pete

well said Andy…what a lot of people are thinking but not saying……but sadly we are where we are?

 

Roof Rack not included WTF…???? I’m out then if I don’t get the Rack ???

[Franz]

#11153

Its OK Andy. You could swap a Subaru into to make it worth $20k? Its only OG once, and collectors want authenticity. I see the value.

 

There are only a certain number of buses in this world. Its a privilege to own one these days.

I chalk it up to the scene. When we got into this stuff 2o years ago, there were only half the number of people that could be called die- hard enthusiasts. Even then, everyone wanted beetles and ghias…buses were weird and dorky.

#11154

I’m glad I got all the buses I’ll ever need. I have no plans to buy another.

Funny shit Andy, but yeah that’s pretty much the VW world for the most part.  I generally like to keep myself a respectable distance.

 

I like your Subi Swaps….

[Andym]

#11163

I glad nobody got bent over my posts… ?

 

carry on, Go buy something crazy expensive follow rest of the cows to the feed Truck.

I don’t get it. I put my buses out for sale at pretty reasonable prices and they take  (took) forever to sell.   Then I see piles of crap for sale from three to ten times what I was asking and they get snapped up.  Do I just need to ask stupid high prices rather than fair ones?

[Pete]

#11178

Meh….it’ll sell at that price, or it won’t.  It’s an early OG paint bus, which is what Curbo asked for leads on.  Chill.

14K for a rust pile? I’d be more comfortable buying the one at the top of the page. Well, maybe not this page, the one for 40K. 🙂

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

[Franz]

#11290

I like the og paint velvet/pearl 67 slider in boulder. Kind of pricey…but its not a plain-jane.

[Willy]

#11295

I agree Franz! I know Curbo is looking for earlier stuff but the slider is pretty unique…

I’m not far from it if someone wants it inspected
