probably the best list is Samba. You just need to get more specific when dealing with e-bay. To get better results pick a year- say 1965- then camper, then air-cooled and ask for exact phrase. E-bay is getting really hard to find stuff on lately. It;s like they have 4 search engines and none talk to one another.
Samba is more refined.
Craigslist or http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/cat.php?id=5
you can google your state or city and vw bus and should get some hits, remember this bus is slow as dirt but cool as heck.
Samba is definitely reputable, but there’s a maillist at http://www.aaircooled.net and another at http://www.type2.com(or net or org., forget which) that focus on the older VW buses. I owned a 1960 Kombi(the stripped down model) that I paid $3.61 for back in the early 70′s and it ran. Kinda wish I still had it with what folks are getting price-wise for them now. They’re not really daily drivers anymore as the 4 wheel drum brakes and reduction gears in the back axle make them noisy, scary to stop in a rainstorm, and they blow around in crosswinds enough to give most folks an increase in blood pressure.. They are cool however.
Good luck with your search.
