Ha, I missed that one for some reason but I just posted his pre-A case in the 356 Whine thread.
I think those 36hp ones are around $1000-$1500 these days.
I know I saw one 1-2 years ago at a show, maybe asking $1500?
I believe it did sell but it sat there for most of the day so I assume for less.
$6000 is bananas

| The visors are 1958-59 only, hard to find in usable condition and no reproductions available. The mirror is not for oval, I believe I've seen that style in an early euro deluxe bus. But don't quote me on that! Similar to an oval vert mirror, but wrong mounting bracket |

I've been having issues finding good usable visors for my '56 so, always shocked at what an even a beat-up, cracked single visor is going for anymore.
I found this image of the mirror on another thread (3rd down). I've never seen that mounting stem before so, news to me.
