Oh no!

Clean under dash wiring job and a "custom fuel cell" held in by a bungee cord. Looks ready to strap the kids in and go for a cruise!

To sell a "clean car" just wash it. Who would have thought.http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/4582642866.html

"Priced to sell $89,000 and I do NOT WANT TRADES!!! It already sold on Ebay for 97K and the high bidder did not pay as he did not have the money-go figure "

Uh, that's not a "sale" buddy :-) and a terrible way to price your sale. LOL

The question is: "How do you make an ugly car uglier?"

The answer? "Paint it yellow."

Also nice to know that since it has a windshield washer bottle (with bleach) mounted in the trunk, it can do burn outs, cause as we all know, "FAST PRO STREET" cars need help to do burn outs...

Oh! Let's play that game where we view an unknown machine, and figure out what it does!
We'll start with that green GTO's bonnet protrusion.

I fine example of how a Craigslist ad SHOULD be done for a change:

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/4569890356.html

**TRADE FOR BOAT, GUNS, CASH, ATV MAYBE?**

FS/FT: A treehugger's wet dream. 1974 VW Westfalia camper bus. Hippy mecca right here. This thing is littered with Grateful dead stickers, acid bears, happy campers etc. This would make a great project and I imagine it wouldn't take too much to get it up and going. If you wanted to you could load up all of your little hipster buddies and head to protests, or you could transport illegals. I don't care what you do with it, just hand me some money(or guns). I bought this bus about a year ago. My original intent was to get it running and just drive the hell out of it. Well, as usual, I got lazy once the newness of the purchase wore off. Now when I walk through the garage I think to myself, "Hans Peter could really be something someday, if I just...", then I think to myself, "Nah, I'd rather have another beer instead". The most I did was clean the bus up, then to offset the hippie stickers I put a "Repeal Obamacare" decal and a "Party like it's 1776" decal on the back window. Now the time has come and I may have to store a friend's car for him while he is stationed in Germany. So take full advantage while you can and come snatch this piece of history from me! Bus has a bunk up top when the tent is popped. The backseat also folds into a bed. The stove and sink are long gone so don't ask about them. Table folds up to eat yourself a sandwich, pour a drink, do some lines, whatever floats your boat, just don't tell me if it's illegal. There is no telling what has been done in the bunk and backseat, therefore I have kept my three year old daughter far away from them. That being said, I don't see any stains. Seats are in great shape considering...If you decide you want to go on a treasure hunt and tear the bus apart, I am sure you could find some micro dots, old joints, who knows what else.

Ok lets get to the good stuff:

-No title, not needed when it's a 1974 model. I will provide a bill of sale and that's all you need.
-Bus does not run. I haven't tinkered with it but it hasn't ran in many years.(engine is there and intact however)
-No ignition key. I have two door keys but apparently the ignition key has an extra notch in it. For transport purposes you can unbolt the column lock to be able to turn the wheels to load it.
-Back hatch is stuck shut(not the engine compartment, the hatch to access the rear seat etc)
-Popup tent is there but is very dry rotted and torn in a couple spots.
-No sink or stove so don't ask.
-You will be responsible for loading and transporting the bus. There is a slight incline in my driveway so bring a winch or some chains buddy.

If you are offended with this ad, you are what's wrong with this country. Grow a pair.


TRADES: I would be interested in guns(MERICA!!!) I prefer AK pattern rifles, I would take a unicorn AK depending on value, or multiples if they are worth less. I would possibly be interested in other stuff, as long as it's interesting. No I don't want pawpaw's old 12 gauge and your first 10/22. I want tactical type stuff that is worth equal to what I am asking. That being said, cash is just as good.

Wonder if for the camper bus he'd trade for a Rainbow Unicorn or Sunshine & Lollypops?
