Drove it around for a few months then flipped it for $60k more than purchase price because the wait on them is so long.

Re: Found a really cool tailgate vehicle for auction

Wow, gives me a case of the Nostalgia. A good buddy in HS drove us all over the place in his mom's VW Bus. As I recall he had the gas pedal massed to the floor most of the time just to keep up with traffic. The post mentions a bit of play in the steering, but that came standard.
Would love to have it though.

Not absolutely positive, but I think those older model vehicles came with an adjuster in the steering box to adjust for the play in the steering. I know that most American made vehicles did, just not sure about the Jap vehicles!!!

Did you just refer to a Volkswagen as a "Jap" vehicle. It's literally German for "People's Automobile".

Would love to have that. Will probably sell for much more than I’m willing to pay though. The reserve is probably around $30k or so.

Bid on it and find out.

It's owned by an older guy who took great care of it. He's definitely NOT the type to be out hot-rodding, entertaining ladies, or really doing anything remotely cool in it. It's in great shape!

I’m thinking about it. With a 14 day auction, I’ll be waiting a while to bid though…see how high it goes.
Who knows? Maybe Noodle and Mrs Noodle could be rolling into the tailgate in style…of course we already do pretty well in my orange jeep.

Good to know. So many of these are way overpriced.
I’ve wanted a VW for a long time but haven’t found the right one yet. Really wanting a Westy, but…

I was a prolific reader in my teens. After finding several "articles" relaying the plight of cheerleaders having mechanical issues with these VW vans, I spent my entire sophomore summer waiting on the front lawn with a toolbox.

Especially when they are in the excellent shape that one appears to be in. Not as valued as the earlier "21 Window" versions, for instance, but still worth a whole lot of pretty pennies.
