I know the prices of baywindows have gone up...but wow. Granted, asking price is not transactional price, but looking at the Samba recently

To put this into perspective, I bought a rust free, driving Westfalia in St, Paul, MN about 15 years ago for $3k. OG paint, all of the little accessories (cot, table, curtains,stool, unmolested interior, etc) and drove it back to Detroit, MI. After I get the rebuilt engine installed (see my boring engine thread), and do some minor cosmetics, a realistic asking price would be $20k-$25k. Not that I've got any immediate plans to sell it...but wow.
I had a bus in college about 30 years ago, and the fond memories is why I bought this one 15 years ago. 15 years ago the splitties were expensive, but the Bays (obviously) were still affordable. I feel fortunate that I was able to buy one back then...if they were anywhere near the prices they are today back then, it would have been a pipe dream.
