My GL took a big loss in value last week due to a failed oil cooler
O-ring, but as a result I was forced to make a capital investment of
labor in the non-GL to make it roadworthy, so it's market value
probably tripled! Realistically, they're just a couple late model
Vanagons worth about $3,000 roadworthy, and maybe $1,000 when not
driveable. Of course, cash value is immaterial, as there's NOW WAY I'm
going to SELL MY BABIES!
