1976 Volkswagen Bus

• Full mural artwork and lettering cover both sides and the rear and look vivid from a distance — the value here is the artwork, and returning it to plain paint would mean a full respray.
• Close-ups tell a harder story: cracks through paint and filler on several panels, bubbling along a lower edge and filler cracking at a lower corner — budget real bodywork, not touch-ups.
• One close-up shows peeling paint on the white rear bumper down to grey underneath, and rust creeping at a door seam — more local repair money.
• Tires show good tread in the wheel close-up, though the steel wheel rim has surface rust — no tire spend, small wheel tidy money.
• Rear cabin is basic and tired: a plywood platform, stained carpet and a sagging, peeling headliner — budget an interior refit if you want it camper-nice.
• Front seats can't be judged properly — they only show from a distance through the cab.
• Engine bay is complete with painted yellow tinware but grimy, with loose-looking wiring in places — budget a clean and a wiring check.
• No underside photos in the sample — can't judge it, and with the filler cracks above, the underside is a must-see item.

Money: at $30,000 you are paying for the mural artwork; the cracked filler, bubbling and tired cabin mean body and interior money is needed, so price it as a project with art, not a finished bus.
