Looks like a good deal, but you know how good deals can turn out.

this was the reply to my inquiry to the seller:
------------
No it has none of the equipment ,Yes it has a Clear Pennsylvania Title,,it was tuned up and ran great back in Feb, Has been parted since Ignition key has been lost so have not started it since,,but have no worries as has'nt sat long enough to do any damage ,it does have a leaky gas line that will need tending to before trying to start it ( I assume you know how easy these things can catch fire ). Had originally had a buy for teh body as we were going to use the motor in an older bug, and now just need the room. I feel the price is more that fair for the bus it will need bothe rockers replaced but floor and frame are solid.

Jack, any interest in taking a ride to Doylestown?  Maybe I can entice you with large parts of Joe's er my Westy  (supposedly the pop-up is in excellent shape--I don't know what shape yours is in or if it's even a compatible year).

actually that being said, if you need any parts off that Westy anyway just let me know.  You've been waaay helpful..  Btw, this applies to all you guys..  I mostly wanted the engine and some random stuff (like the brake booster, some of the inside stuff, etc)

alright I figured out what rockers are.  how hard is that to replace?  and how necessary when you need new ones?  and do they have to be new or can they come from another engine?

I'm interested in buying this camper, but the lady selling said someone from within 2 hours of there said they'll come get it on Sunday.

Before I swoop in tomorrow and buy it out from under them--is it someone from our group?  If so let me know so I won't be a jerk..  if not... well..  $$ talks and BS walks I guess

same thing happened to me a month or so ago on a bug
