I watched it last night, the prices were all over the place. I don't see how an E Type sold for $52,000 followed by a Fiat Jolly which sold for $80,000 & a 68 Hemi Road Runner sold for $73,000.

Prior to the above a real deal 68 Hemi Superbee sold for $68,000. Early Corvettes, inc modified were making good money, as were any of the Tri Fives.

One Mustang think it was a Boss or similar sold for $120,000 then an almost identical one sold later for $80, something...

Was really hard to gauge the market last night, some great deals to be had & some paid way over the top...

Enjoyable though :D

To be a 21 window that's a later bus, so not even a barndoor!

The barndoor vans/buses ran from '49 to '55. They get the name from the large engine lid. The "Samba" bus of this time had 23 windows. These vans were all made in the Wolfsburg factory alongside the Beetle. In '55 production moved to the Hanover factory, they had subtle changes, one was the engine lid was smaller, but the Samba still had 23 windows till '64 when the rear hatch was made bigger. This meant the two corner windows were dropped, hence they were 21 windows from '64 till '67.

Barndoor vans fetch the biggest premium as they are very rare, the 21 window is the newer end of the T1 van, and as nice as it looks from the pics. $300k is ridiculous for a VW bus!

That bus was being sold by and was restored Dave Kindig, from Discovery's 'Bitchin Rides'.

The resto/build was shown on tonight's episode. It certainly had the best of everything but $275k.....? Yikes.

And it wasn't even originally a 21 window.... :?

More enlightened now XP29 :thumbright: Couldnt believe the price that one reached.Watched the live feed for about 3 hours in six half hourish sessions.For the price paid for the VW you could have bought at least three very tidy muscle cars from what I saw go through.

Never seen the episode. What was it to start with, an 11 window?

The one that sold at Barret was silly money, but the vans have been rising in price for a few years now. All T1's are expensive, T2's are not that far behind, T3's are not too bad, and the Westfalia's are the best camper conversion. This in turn has made the T4/5's the common van you see around a lot. Draped in tat with a "one life, live it" sticker on each side.

You can have a '54 11 bus for a mere £50k!

This looks like a better buy than the Barret bus for a fair chunk less. Randy the advertiser know his stuff regards VW's
