Whay model is this?

The give-away is that there is no dot at the 19th fret. That is a thick horned V63 so it is an early example. I agree with Sergio that the pickup is a genuine VRI horseshoe sans the shoes. Apart from the extra hole in the headstock it appears to be in good shape.

It was on eBay yesterday for 55 minutes before someone snagged it for $1,500 BIN.

I actually was debating the BIN but didn't have enough info to base my decision. I was concerned that it was an "s" with a the bridge p/u surround and dyed headstock wings with painted over 19th fret marker....that would be my luck. Oh well.....

Replacing the missing shoes would have been a chore. I hate bitsa basses that are missing unobtainium parts.

One line would have made it a no brainer:

"Original steel pickup covers included".

However, please refer to: ya snooze ya loose!

I was in the middle of writing a heads-up post when I checked if the link works, only to see that the bass was BIN'ed. I would have hit the BIN myself if it wasn't for the fat horns and lack of shoes.
