[FC] Corvanatics Digest, Vol 153, Issue 2

[Darren Pralle]

Fred,

You are spot on. The vintage car market awards the rare and odd
(eventually). While the Rampy isn't at the same level as the VW Type 2
(especially the double cabs), and it's unlikely to match the hockey stick
rise in 356 or air cooled 911 values, I'm encouraged by this sale. I didn't
buy the Rampy as an investment, but its nice to know I can spend a little
more on restoration/upkeep and not be under water.
