It needs a lot of work. But hey, you can get it for cheap. What cars do you usually see on eBay? Apart from the boring ones, we've seen a healthy share of weird finds on the selling platform over the years. We once saw a Toyota Crown hearse being sold for $20,000 before, while an art deco car that's part Corvette and part Audi TT was once up for bidding over a year ago. But those two don't come close to the peculiarity of this Volkswagen bus that's up for auction.

Hirakawa’s temporary teammate Sena Sakaguchi led the first half of the 82-lap contest from pole position, keeping the #14 Rookie Racing Toyota Supra of Kazuya Oshima at bay as the two circulated the track well clear of the remainder of the field. However, the race slipped away from Sakaguchi and Hirakawa after an incident for Yudai Uchida in the #360 Tomei Sports Nissan GT300, with almost the entire field heading into the pits to avoid being caught out by the safety car.
