We're planning to sell our mostly stock '87 Westy soon, having bought a '94 B350 high roof Dodge to build out as a replacement. I do not anticipate reVanagoning and would not want to pay Westy prices but could see $6K or so for a nice reentry tintop if I wanted a toy. 

A Honda and a Mopar minivan remain the daily drivers.
