That's a nice van.  However, we all know the modified speakers make it only worth $6000.  Seriously though, this is probably one of those cases where the owner's significant other asked him to sell it.  He then put it on ebay with a $1,000,000 reserve.  That way he can claim he tried to sell it but it would not sell and he gets to keep it!

OK, admittedly I've been busy with a lot of different challenges and haven't
been following pricing. But is a 2WD Westfalia really worth over $13K these
days. This 89 is on Ebay and at $13K plus the reserve is not yet met.

I suppose from about 30 feet away I'd pay $13K for this bus, but I reserve
the right to reduce the price by $1,000 for every foot I move toward it.

(Have the exhaust pipes been painted?)

And just on a let's have some fun note:

The seller notes:

"It has a 4 speed stick (a very nice upgrade over the old 3 speeds) that
shifts effortlessly"

I have to agree there. It is a nice upgrade over the old 3 speeds. And I
assume he means the old 3 speeds AMC Hornet.
