    The amount of love you have for this van means you cannot sell it you will forever regret it

      I’d rather see it being enjoyed and move on with what I enjoy- bringing more busses back from the abyss and putting them back into the hands of people that can enjoy them.
      Realistically this bus will get driven 500 miles this year if I keep it, that’s all it got last year- I’d rather hear a successful trip report from a 10,000 mile trip with a new owner.

    Turn key enjoyment! Thank you for the tour. If I didn’t purchase my ‘91 I would have definitely given that some serious thought. As it sits your pricing is pretty close to what I’d imagine wanting after all the time, effort, and money into it. Beautiful bus. Cannot wait to see the other buses and doka. Do you see yourself going as far with your other projects?

    • @TheBarefootForge
      @TheBarefootForge  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Not sure. The blue bus has been a great new travel companion, and we have a new rescue scheduled soon- so I just don’t see ‘ole-red getting the miles this year. : /

      AWESOME! Thanks friends! I absolutely love this bus, it's truly been my favorite of all the busses I've ever owned. It's got old tech at this point, still running an old 170ah lead acid battery, but some day- it'll get a lithium setup from Amperetime!

    @kimhorton6109 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Why would you value a Westy that doesn’t have the roof? Can’t say I would do the Westfalia so much as that roof that goes straight up and gives you walking room from behind the front seats to the rear.

    • @TheBarefootForge
      @TheBarefootForge  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Different strokes for different folks I guess.
      The sunroof syncro is exponentially more rare than a syncro westfalia, so that has value. The new owner can change the interior to whatever they’d like.
