Yaah, but...that was 30+ years ago.  In 1970 you almost couldn't even give 
them away.  There weren't many of us in those days who would have taken one even 
as a freebie.  And in 1970 with a BSEE from a very good school, I think I was 
making $750 per month and the brand new Land Rover I had just bought only 
cost me $3495.00.  :-)

However, it is a bit rough to be asking over $400 even today.

BTW, Mike, note that the upper part of the mount has been changed to the 
later MT-283/ART-13 from the unnumbered twin rail Navy type that became MT-161 
that would have originally been on it.
