a little off topic..
speaking of VW Classics ..
certainly the Seller is a factor ( Jerry Sienfield )...
at auction,
a VW  Split Window Bus , 64 I think, sold for some 100,000 plus dollars,
and a VW Bug of Jerry's too ...$ 120,000 or some crazy number like that.

$ 15K sounds 'reasonable' and sane even.
