Thanks all, I think you're all correct.
There's a lot of things that can happen, for things to work like I'm dreaming I'd need a couple of people looking for the brand camper I have followed with some knowledge of the brand back in the 60's and 70's to know the one I have is a one of a kind. Whether those people are still alive... is for another debate.
I don't think some know what a cloth-top pup is since they went out of vogue in the early 70's. Do a google search for images of Cox camper, look for pictures of ones with 100% cloth roof and open like a rainbow. It's very unique and rare, and hasn't been made since early 70's. If you're looking for that style/100% cloth top that opens like a rainbow, there's currently only 3 for sale in the USA that I found and really can't be compared to the pop-ups locally with hard tops which have been made every year since late 60's and still made today. Mine seems unique because most, including the ones you'll see on the internet were the common man's model designed to be pulled by 4-6 cylinders. Mine has 4 beds, sleeps 11, and should be towed by an 8 cylinder it is a castle amongst the rare cloth tops, and trust me when I say there isn't one picture on the internet that's big like mine.
But it makes the point, I know what it is but others don't. I'd need someone who knows 60's and 70's cloth tops, to know the value and rarity of mine and that it's the "Lamborghini" of them likely and those people are likely long dead so my chances of finding people and having them get into a battle is pretty small. I'll start it at probably $400 see what happens. Thanks!
