Jim, I bought an '85 Westy last fall. Prices & availability differ, no doubt, between the SF Bay Area and Atlanta. But when it comes to price, the season you offer the van for sale is critical. Before I bought mine I watched & clipped the classifieds, keeping a file a year before I was actually ready to buy. Buyers spring thru summer pay nearly twice what buyers paid fall thru winter. I still regret having sold my gorgeous and beloved '69 Westy. She had carried me all the way to Guatemala and back, but I had just returned to California and needed a truck to haul stuff on my homestead. I needed the truck, but twenty five years later I still mourn that '69 Westy. Unless you are absolutely forced to sell, I would reconsider. Where there's a will, there's a way.
