5k: Barkas Worse Than Bite? 1980 Barkas B1000 Dropside Pickup

Barkas was an East German manufacturer of oddly sour-puss looking delivery vans and minibuses starting sometime after the war.   The B1000 van (also available as a pickup truck) was powered by a 3-cylinder two-stroke engine derived from a DKW (Dampf-Kraft-Wagen -- now part of Auto Union...errr...Audi) design, but later versions get a Volkswagen flat-4.  Find this 1980 Barkas B1000 Dropside Pickup here on eBay bidding fo $4,425 reserve-not-met with a few hours to go, located in Northbrook, IL.
