You'd be surprised- A customer of mine, sold his 66 SC w/ 1 of my
tilts on it for $47.5K a couple of years ago at the Barrett Jackson
auction in Phoenix. It was not even totally stock!

Tom B. - Nice restored deluxe splitties are going  for GW Syncro
Westy  prices, believe it or not.  Beater splitties are still priced
much more than vanagon prices.
