When he was talking about how as a kid looking through the windows on a trip to the Swiss alps it made me realize how no car today can come close to the perfect road trip car as these vw vans did
You seem to be a big fan of American Pickers and know the ins and outs of values.I just watch because Mike, Rob,Frank and Danny seem so genuine and nice.I've watched so many episodes some 2 and 3 times the guys seem like family.
Good grief! What an unbeliiiievably bad informed seller!!! 37K for that 23 window with the long/big ragtop would have been O.K.! Bit for all 3 busses?! For heavens sake...
Vw guys are different. He got paid and the busses are going to get fixed up. He won in his book. Anyone who doesn't think so, must not quite get it. ✌🏽
all you guys are saying that they ripped him off, I would love to see you guys dump 40 grand into just buying them. That doesn't include shipping them add 3 grand, paying a guy to fix them with correct museum quality parts that's where you get the most money for them that easily as low as 40 and as high as 70 grand. the guys will have over 100 grand invested in the 3 vans how many of you would dump that much money into 3 vans that have been sitting outside in the elements, rust is everywhere, parts are nearly impossible to find especially for the 23 window, they are not making a Bunch of money off these vans. they couldn't have gone much higher because mike is looking at the big picture.
Exactly what I was about to say. Everybody knows how much these buses are worth restored, but everyone seems to forget that that price is for full professional restorations and what those cost.
Personally, I was thinking 10 grand for every car in the barn. They don't run, they haven't ran in 30 years, parts are very rare. The amount of money to restore the vehicles could be astronomical if floor pans are bad, rust is not a good wallet saver
I just was up there talking to him walking around his property today awesome guy and he's not trying to get top dollar just trying to re-home what's left
Vandalized or stolen? NOPE. Not a person knows they are there for the past 30 years and they and all the other machines on that property won't be bothered for another 30 years....GORGEOUS MACHINES.
You obviously didn’t watch the whole episode LOL The reason the seller was selling is because his property recently got ravaged, his property was vandalized and items were stolen. He can’t maintain the place so he wants to sell instead of his stuff getting stolen. How about you watch full episodes first before you comment
Remember this is tv most of these shows are set up in advance before they arrive. They have to ship them and put a ton of money in them just to get them running and driving. Maybe they did give him more or they didn't .
I have 2 63 crew cabs and a 67 split 15 window. At least mine are stored and getting worked on. This dude needs to give them the treatment they deserved.
It’s shocking that many people who collect things are older yet don’t want to sell anything. It’s called building your treasures on earth. So when they die what good did those items do for their eternity?
I wanna see them all restored now
I wanna see joe BAHAMA MAMA restored
Im trying to find them restored too
Theyre not into restoration..they love it as it is..maybe the guys that bought it from them might restore it..
Love it! The way VWs should be sold. It's impossible to get them for that price. Good score Mike!!!

Ta their real nice when they get thier way and rip people off
Mike (& Dani) and Frank's contributions to preservation of our nations history MUST be acknowledged for future generations to appreciate 😊😊😊
3:35 :yes I saved them but I saved them for somebody else😭😭 I could feel his pain.
The key to their success is Mike's charm.
So true, it's certainly not frank. He behaves like an attorney
$37K for all three!?? Omg, one of those busses was worth that! I was like dude NO! 😭
Restored, 1 went for just over $200k and one went for $300k.
Hey give the bug some love.
Hope we see them someday soon restorted.....wow....good jod Art
We need to see the restoration of these vehicles on follow up programmes.
Each is worth $37,500. They ripped him off. The 23 window bus is worth $50,000 just sitting there.
Love the VW cars and vans.
That was nice of that man to sell those vans. Hope they make a video of them when there up and running.
Those buses were sold before they left the guys property for a major profit. You can count on it.
I’m surprised those guys didn’t ask for the shirt off his back too!!
bahaha :(
You guys! I even got so exited !! Good for you and the seller.

Believe it or not that’s my uncle
@@gabrielrobison9228 My last name is Robison too - maybe we're related (I too am a VW guy!)
The owner might as well sale these old vw vans. He can't take them with him.
Hit up Fluffy! He loves him some VW Bus action
Great buy !
"Hippie haulers", is what my dad always called these vans.
These two ripped this guy off! The 23 window alone is worth 65,000 plus as it sits!
Remember this is not “Reality TV”. All this programs are staged, it is lake the Rastling of our times!
This show is unique and so special
You guys ripped that man off.
Lol How?

Awesome cars.......
Poor guy he got robbed
@4:18, it's nice to see Bill Nye the science guy out buying Volkswagen to recondition.
Wow that’s an incredible cheap deal, feel sorry for Art, come on guys!!!
Remember this is not “Reality TV”. All this programs are staged, it is lake the Rastling of our times!
Woodstock here I come! Great pick at an awesome price
NICE FIND BARNEY!
Back in the 90s in California they were flattened alot of these at the wreckers, or selling them cheap .
Mike stole those @ $37k. WOW ‼️
Mike and Frank are so awesome
Love this episode 🙏👍🇺🇸
Somethings up!.No body in their right mind would sell so cheap!
Holy cow! Mike is THE MAN, now!
Love this show ❤ 💕

If you have that kinda of money its easy to pay 40,000..he knows the 23 windows worth that the way it sits
Wow what a great deal, I would love to know what you did with them? Will you fix them up or just sale them?
Send em over to Mustie1 and VWBug.
I just was up there talking to him walking around his property today awesome guy and he's not trying to get top dollar just trying to re-home what's left
Speechless 😱
Gonna take $$$ to get them rolling
More money than most have. Might cost more than the actual value of the vehicle
A good bus restoration is a six figure endeavor. Not many wanting to shell that out. The 23 window was in bad shape.

I love this
GREAT
Yesterday I was behind a New VW Bus on the highway and Just like the 1960's models, It couldn't do the speed limit either!
NEVER go uphill!
Add another$50,000 and we have a deal.
Shame on you thieves! You took advantage of the poor old man you thieves! you ripped him off, shame on you!
Mike is 'taking all the risk' ;)
I wanna hate but the vdub busses are cool
Should have called Gabriel Iglesias. He would have treated you way better.
Please hire Frank back
Amazing people and getting amazing Goodies great video. I would put a roof over any Old vehicles over my kids😂👍🤪
Here comes the crooks
Airplane windows!
Far Fig Newton!
I like the 23 WINDOWS, HOW MUCH, this is Marie
15 window more rare 😊
I know a buyer already offer it Gabriel iglesias
Mike stole them at that price
Hope Mike keeps the 21 window
ItS aLL Good!.!.!.!
The pickers a great show!
Thanks for making junk pricey again
Poor guy got robbed.
wow, incredible, 🤤
BROTHER WALLEY THE PREACHER SINGING AT THE CONVELESCENTS, HAD A WHITE 13 VW
Then your VW mates say OMG what have you done?!
what about the Doodle bug. I'd take it
They just got about, restored $ 200K, easy!
You should have said, $40,000 and I'll throw in a bug?
You ripped him off big time! that double panel is worth $50.000 as is all day long.
He would have got the boot as soon as he said van
I want the Beetle VW 64, How much do you want?
YOU'VE OBIOUSLY NEVER OWNED ONE!!
can you find Gem-my animated things to buy and sell?
Remember this is tv most of these shows are set up in advance before they arrive. They have to ship them and put a ton of money in them just to get them running and driving. Maybe they did give him more or they didn't .
You can’t touch the 23 window for that now
Great guys...no vaseline.
Bruh, a restored 23 window can auction around 200k, be the got it for 14k😳
I have 2 63 crew cabs and a 67 split 15 window.
At least mine are stored and getting worked on.
This dude needs to give them the treatment they deserved.
Mike would flip them for double, not restore them
I wish I could have a vw bus
Mexican pickers more entertaining ❤
Robbed the poor guy, and also we not seeing the Patina bug??????????
It's so surprising, how people now have the option of using the internet to price check, and still leave way too much meat on the bone.
thats meat on the bone he doesnt care to spend money , effort and time on
Petrol..matches..rag..throw in..walk away..job done.
It’s shocking that many people who collect things are older yet don’t want to sell anything. It’s called building your treasures on earth. So when they die what good did those items do for their eternity?
Mike buys a VW: Mike the VW guy
Mike buys an Indian: Mike the Indian guy...
Mike probably sold them all to Gabriel Iglesias
ya, I'm sure someone is going to just come along and steal his rusty old vans...
you would be surprised i guess
He coulda gotten at least 50 for the package
Remember this is not “Reality TV”. All this programs are staged, it is lake the Rastling of our times!
It’s not a cold world, it’s just business, you would’ve offered the same price or taking the offer especially if you’re running into $ problems
Wy not driving a vw crafter Daily? Mike vw men
They ripped that guy off so bad:(
This guy doesn’t know what he had! He could’ve got $75k out of these guys
