I'm amazed it's not just twisting/creasing the frame! And look at that back window!! Still intact (for now). That would make one hell of a nice project if they don't drop it into a lake or loose it down a quarry accidentally on its journey :-o I hope by now its got everything fixed from the headlamps back :-D
Agree- what a disrespectful way to handle this kind of bus- you don't just leave it dangling in mid-air do you!! (Has probably caused more damage by treating it this way!)
im searching this kind of videos too... i love these buses i wish i could afford something like that to restore..... iam happy with my 2003 Vw 20th anniversary its so quick with an APR CHIP..... cheers btw i thought this bus gonnna fall any minute :/
Is there a video somewhere where someone finds one of these vans or rescues, takes home, rebuilds it and we actually see the finished product with a test drive? Reply me a link if you know of such a video, even if it's in parts like part 1 part 2 etc. Thanks. Seen lots of "Rescued" vids.
you can see the condition of the sheetmetal! anything else would've crumbled swinging like that! so its a good start! thumbs down to the crane operator. must have drunk too much red bull that morning!
Unfortunately some just don't give a shit, I would've walked away from the deal right there. To bad these are stupidly priced, wish I could get one, but never will for the amount these are selling for. Now a toy for the rich, have to stick with models.
why is there so many electric conversion videos ELECTRIC CARS WILL NEVER BE POPULAR OR IN HIGH DEMAND plus there unrelyable and not enough power to go 100mph
probably the most stupid way to move an old splitty. its like moving a 15 century antique wardrobe with a dump truck......no good guys. screw ya heads on a bit tighter next time.
showin some love to the ol groovewagon,....crane driver ....crushing panels since 1966
Held my breath the entire time.

A second belt to lift the van straightly would have exploded the budget???

This is what happens when cowboys operate cranes.
What did they have a six year old operating the crane?
Two slings and a cross on top. That would have made it a safe lift. This is just dumb and dangerous.

I thought he'll fall down every second
Beautiful
looks like that bus had a nasty fire
chingona la combi
A double I-Beam boat sling would have worked better at keeping the slings from crushing the bus....Just shaking my head at this one.
A hand for Mr Stevie Wonder on crane Ladys and Gentleman , please give em a hand.
Great way to fuck up that bus! Should have figured out another way to retrieve that bus...sad.
Guy sounds like Ray Romano.
looks like the crane is an antique
Is it just me... or does he sound like Ray from Everybody love Raymond? lol
@JRannow No doubt, they seriously should have had 2 straps on there, not just one....
@chbr2a The rear was probably stuck in
mud.
A D9 bulldozer might have been more delicate.
Poor VW van. :(
that drivers a nut!!
DUHHHH.................
Destruction good
crane operator had to
set it down right on
top of a tree ?
was the point to do more damage?
Pwned in the face!!! muahahahah
where did you find aal of these buses
what has the crain driver drunk ?
Maybe next time you can just fill it with C4 and blow it up, it would save you the effort and the fuel you wasted knocking that thing into pieces :)

Ever heard of weight distribution?
Why?

What did you do, wait for a home owner to go on vacation and pluck this from the backyard???
esa combi arreglada original completa vale como unos 60,000 dolares
That vw comby arreglada valdra unos 8,000 dlls
you sound like kermit the frog
Poor old van, a bit more respect would have gone down a treat. Crane driver is a true blue wanker
OMG, why you do this with this sad VW!?!?!?!?!
body damage wtf??
you can see the condition of the sheetmetal!
anything else would've crumbled swinging like that!
so its a good start!
thumbs down to the crane operator.
must have drunk too much red bull that morning!
It died of the dreaded engine fire due to rotten fuel lines....?
Liberty Patriot .
At least it got saved.
