I found my appraiser in the Yellow Pages in the Automotive section.  I talked
to several before finding someone who sounded good and was willing to do it
for $50.

The appraiser did all the research before he arrived.  He had looked into
Hemmings and other sources before even looking at my Thing.

The guy told me that he is called in to appraise automobiles to settle
estates all the time.  Quite often the appraisal costs more than the car is
worth.   I bet these guys run across old VWs all the time.  Might be someone
you want to get friendly with.
