what is one these things worth? My buddies shop has one sitting there that needs some love. I just can;t seem to find much info on it.

Too few around to make a judgement. There has been what appears to be a very nice one for sale on the www.thesamba.com site for many months for about $19,000.00 No takers. Finding Puma parts is hard enough,parts for a Ventura would be all but impossible.
Best regards,
Jim

probably $1200-$3000 usd..parts are so rare you don't want to risk driving it and the fibreglas dries out with age and is $$$$$ to repair.
