I guess......But I certainly don't see the value in paying 100 times more
for a van just because it's a VW....

   If money is not a concern, the VW does have a bit more class, no
argument there.   But if you are looking to impress everyone else with your
camper, why not get a PBY sea plane or a Chinook heliocopter and REALLY
impress people?  You could probably get one for only 100 times the cost of
a Go Westy restored Syncro.....grin...it is only money....
