"Now it seems odd that most of the posts on this thread feel that this van
is going for far more than it's worth. Maybe it is, but I would think we
should be happy as this helps us prove to insurance companies and such that
they need to think again.
Again...just playing devil's advocate."

My take on that:
Envy and jealousy almost always will leak out "sideways", even if doing it
cuts one's nose off, to spite the face ... or perceived loss of same. Every
time I've done
it I end up losing my a--. I'm old so have found out through multiple events
of this experience by
myself that when I go ahead and lose face, I save my a-- ... rather than the
other way 'round.

So what if I've invested almost twice as much in my van as I paid for it 8
years ago.
I like what I've got now even though I'll likely never get back in $$, what
I expended.
What I have gotten back is the tremendous enjoyment of using the end
product.

No way to measure that in $$$.

What a great link Ken. Thanks. I loved my '70 914-6 ... wish I still had it.
