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

[@TheBarefootForge]

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.

How much for the bus

Awesome rig! i like all the features you have incorporated, im bringing our 84 sunroof van back to life and ready to get into a vanagon.

Looooooove it :) What an awesome van. Truly anyone who buys this will be delighted delighted delighted.

thanks for sharing, nice bus. i so miss my old bus.

[@user-iw4oy7yk1j]

That's an awesome bus I would love to own that all that is in the back is surprise me when you open the side door and I went wow I love this this is great great job😊😊😊

[@TheBarefootForge]

It’s got a very happy new owner!

[@michaelnagy4603]

I love it thanks for bringing it to us and showing us absolutely awesome 💯

[@TheBarefootForge]

Thanks buddy! I love sharing these adventures with you!

[@amperetimemarketing7931]

Great video! Thank you Craig.

[@TheBarefootForge]

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!

[@amperetimemarketing7931]

@@TheBarefootForge Thanks for your support! 👐

[@RawInSeattle]

Missing and arm on my 87"... been looking 10 years, lol.. Awsome van, many good ideas

[@TheBarefootForge]

I’m not a doctor, but If I were missing an arm… I wouldn’t necessarily expect to find it. (Though 10 years is a long search!)

[@samtracy751]

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]

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. : /

[@DanTheManIOM]

thanks for the tour, never thought you would sell this one.... I still think you should keep it, every guy named dan in the 412 would drive it !

[@TheBarefootForge]

I just don't need this many busses!

[@AUTFilm]

A great bus and restauration. I do also have a factory sunroof in my 16 inch. Great to have it. Whats your next big dream bus you have in pipeline? Greatings from Graz (Austria)

[@TheBarefootForge]

You have literally the only rarer vanagon model then I do! A sunroof syncro 16?!?!? There must be about 6 of those, total!

[@johnnyjames7089]

Hey hey Craig. Awesome bus man. I really enjoy your videos. My wife and I have an 87 2wd tin top in Titan Red too. We were curious about the three layers of materials you placed on the floor interior? Is it for sound or thermal performance or both? best...johnny from Scranton, PA

[@TheBarefootForge]

In this bus- it's lizard skin sound deadener, ceramic insulation, then raptor bed liner.

[@mgs8747]

Nice ride!

[@TheBarefootForge]

AVAILABLE!

[@casey7799]

More westfalia rescue videos upcoming? love the content

[@TheBarefootForge]

Well, we're working on another project! : ) What would you like to see?

[@elmarruben]

How more commen certain parts are here in europ (seats) compared to the states and vice versa is fun to watch:)

[@TheBarefootForge]

Parts are available.

[@PapaRick68]

Just tripped over your vid, did ya sell it? Super nice, checks most of the boxes

[@TheBarefootForge]

I returned your email, your phone number didn't work, hopefully we can get in touch.

[@rarerides]

The vanagon market seems very weak at the moment.

[@TheBarefootForge]

For low to mid end stuff perhaps, but stuff that’s well sorted and ready to go- sells fast.

[@TheBarefootForge]

@@rarerides yes. It will be on those markets soon enough. Just starting the process.

[@facelesssman]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet Van!

[@TheBarefootForge]

hopefully the new owner is enjoying it!

[@thomasapgar9815]

That thing is gorgeous. Say, you’re handy w a welder, maybe see if Bostig Jim will license that bumper design for small, artisan runs.

[@TheBarefootForge]

Jim sold the rights to the files a while back, they're owned... .by someone, but they never went on to production.

[@dta97392]

What’s the estimate on having new headliner Instalation & Labor?

[@TheBarefootForge]

I have not gotten an estimate, but I’d be glad to if we get to that point in the conversation. The headliner is made and can be remade by sewfine in Colorado, and they’d be the best shop in the country to install it.

[@kimhorton6109]

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]

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.

[@WoodcraftLeagueOfAmerica]

I'm not far from you, in Valencia. We should collab on a camping video man.

[@TheBarefootForge]

Sure dude! Reach out, email me, let's make it happen.

[@VanaConn]

Pretty impressive. When the door opened I can see the added value . Plus it doesn't have the water leaker .

[@TheBarefootForge]

It’s a great bus- ready for a new loving home!

[@janesecaraway3995]

Little out of my price range! 😂

[@TheBarefootForge]

Well, we can help you find one that’s in your price range!

[@dta97392]

Like to c the engine/ saw it thx

[@TheBarefootForge]

Send me an email to start the process, let’s do some discussing of price- and I’ll drive the 45 minutes to where it’s being stored and take you video or video chat with you about anything you’d like to see!

[@micahnies5188]

Nice, want to trade a 2wd with a bostig that needs some work? have a great day

[@TheBarefootForge]

Yea, I would absolutely make that trade- with the respective difference. I’m always game for a project. Feel free to email me with some details of your bus and what you feel is it’s current market value.

[@micahnies5188]

@@TheBarefootForge I'll email you. Quick Q - D these sunroof models, no AC? I would have to opt for an in dash solution like Small Car has?

Still for sale?

Nope, sorry- sold it today. You missed it by literally one day! : / But, I’m available for hire to help consult and help you to find your dream bus!

[@brentonsmith-pw2rp]

Because I get to dream again, and what’s the point of having only one dream in your life?
