I’m selling a 67 Volkswagen bus to raise money for a honeymoon. As you’ll note in the pictures it is extremely dirty, rusty and needs upholstery repair… The van does not run (no engine) and requires a tow everywhere it goes.
I have never removed rust from a car and my detailing experience is limited to 10-year-old cars that have minor scratches (big thanks to this forum).
Question 1: Is this car beyond a detailing service and need to be taken to a body shop? (I have called three places and they won’t give any sort of quote without seeing in person, which is understandable.) I live in Southern California so there are many places around.
Question 2: Is this car worth sinking a lot detailing money into it in order for it to look cool prior to selling? (I’ve sold used cars before but nothing that doesn’t have a engine). I know there are a lot of variables to this question; I’m trying to find a balance in order to maximize the amount of money towards this honeymoon.
Question 3: I was going to sell it on eBay - trying to figure out its value has been a significant challenge and neighborhood offers have run a wide range. Is there a better approach to selling such an old/unique car.
Up until a couple of days ago I had been a long-time reader but had never posted anything. Big thank you for all the helpful information.
