Depends a lot on the condition of the cars;
Sold my Kuebel in '98, before leaving France, got about 120.000
Francs (20.000$) for it; but it was completely restored, in museum
condition, period engine and gearbox, all accessories in their holders in
the engine compartment, new canvas all round, etc..
I would expect a Schwimm to reach three times that, in similar condition.
Remember to factor in the cost of shipping if you want to sell in the
States; why not sell in France ? ;-)
I know one or two guys who specialize in war-time VWs, mail me off-list.
Good luck anyway,
