  Geeze...I should 'sell short' on some of these...Maybe evendo some credit
default swaps in case you dreamers actually get what you think you might for
your clunk.....uh, classics..collector's items..whatever you want to call
em.

  Seriously, it seems that Synco Vanagons are headed towards Collector Car
status they way people pay for them...Splitties have been there for years...
