Well, Eric,
I propose you buy a whole barnfull of double cabs for what they are
worth and I'll buy them from you at a $500 each profit. Heck, you could
quit your day job! I just need the things to be titled and licensable in
the US. I'll even pick them up at your location.
I really believe they are worth whatever someone will pay. I've seen 2
early 23 window type 2's restored listed for around $50k. I remember
when they were $300. They needed engines then, maybe the $50k ones have
engines that don't fail?
