I agree with Larry totally!
My first van was 91 Syncro Westy costing me over 25k.
I have repeatedly turned down cash offers over
$30,000.00.  It is possible to fetch these kind of
prices and in my eyes very realistic.  What has helped
me document the "actual" value is having the van
appraised by a professional. Check Hemmings Motor News
and antique car magazines for an appraiser in your
area.  Be prepared for them to look up and down the
inside and out of the van.  I had them document the
entire procedure and take pictures.  Off the top of my
head, I paid around $400 for the service.  Not to
mention that I will not get any grief from my
insurance company if a claim needs to be filed.

I wish Chris the best of luck selling his awesome van.
 It will surely go to someone who loves it!!!
