Seller arranges for shipping/picking up van On Jun-01-12 at 15:47:47 PDT, seller added the following information: reserve is set at $3800On Jun-03-12 at 12:06:41 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE: additional video on engine bay and minor rust spots for full disclosure- this is a 30+ year old vehicle ! I apologize about the sound on the video - I have no idea why you tube is having issues with my uploads - I shot this with my ipad- basically; one of the side windows has minor surface rust, as does the rear bumper, some spots of the battery tray and just above the diesel heater exhaust. In the video you can see the spots which I point out. I also point out the 2 gallon red diesel tank in a secondary container just to be safe, a cut out blade switch for security purposes so no one steals your bus and a small alligator clip which trickle charges the battery. I chose an alligator clip so you could charge any other source in case of an emergency. Enjoy- I have 3 couples coming over monday night and if they meet my Buy it Now price I will cancel the auction early.

(I just talked to them on the phone) I find this a bit silly. I guess the Bus will go to the highest Bidder which might be below my BIN price. Good luck to everyone bidding on this unique bus. Cheers.
