We don't know if "Gary" ended up selling the 1970 VW Bug camper last year on CraigsList, but it sounds as though he was unsuccessful at the $20,000 and $16,000 asking price given last time. Because yes folks, the camper's back and this time it's on sale on eBay. The asking price appears to have dropped to a mere $1,275. Maybe that's because it no longer has an engine. Again, we ask you to please not blame either the drugs or "Gary's" inability to clean the sink of his back hair. [via eBay]

I'll give ya $250 plus three bags of empty soda cans.
I'm glad that he referenced the old posts where Jalopnik made fun of him as places to seek more information on the bug-camper.
Not brave enough (or maybe realistic enough) to put a "Buy it Now" price on it.
"Stored indoors 15 years" LOL, that code for "never finished it, and giving up"?
I think maybe it might just have some kick ass hoonage potential, as you can have it lurk about mobile home communities in "Disguise", blending into the surrounding habitat. At any given moment, with a wiff of hot oil and the über German sounds of Big Balls and the Great White Idiot from the faded Jensens, this beast will clobber the trailer court.
And as you lay there, wasted in a haze of solex and drum brake dust, the only thing you hear as you die in the gravel will be the sound of the screen door bouncing shut as the winner of that auction launches around the corner in search of his or her next victim.
Hoo boy, much be a bitch in cross winds.
All together, now: I will give you eight dollars.
Buncha haters. Just think what that thing would be like with a 3.2L Porsche 6, a 5 speed box and some 7 & 9" Fuchs alloys...
...and also with a fricken vacuum cleaner run through it. Iesu Christo on a pogo stick, the seller couldn't even bother to pretend to clean it up for sale?
i almost want to say its cool.
id hate to be in it if it crashed, though...
@JCWhitless: Oh my god, I can't breathe that was so funny.
I want to autocross it.
Exposed to daylight it will turn to dust before your very eyes.
The original builder missed so many opportunities:
-Stretch the chassis for a little more room
-Upgrade the engine - that may actually be underway, or offered as a different sale
-Paint
It's an idea with potential, but I think the squareback engine with its low-profile cooling and induction system would be better suited to a project of this nature.
Wouldn't a Westfalia Camper make just so much more sense?
Yeah, if it were a Westy, we wouldn't be talking about it because it would've sold long ago.
Camper Van Volkswagen
That'd be fun to flip over.
Good God. All that interior needs is some blood stains and police evidence marker-flags.
Cool wheels, though
