First the 87 is not a Kuebelwagen, its a 4x4 Beetle-bodied car.
If thats really what you have in sight, its _very_ rare and _very_ expansive.
But, like everything, the cost depends on the condition.
Is the engine and gearbox in good condition ?
Rust on body ?
Missing bits / accesories ?
etc.
For more informatoion, have a look at the Kuebelwagen pages on my website, and
you might want to join the WWII-VW list.
Good luck,
Ron.
