Important point and my first thought. And, poorly lit images of the vehicle suggest either poor camera skills, a less than average cell phone camera, or they don't want to lead off showing dents rust etc. Regardless, if engine built right, could be a decent buy. A few dents, minimal rust seems pretty normal for Westy of that vintage and price range. OTOH, things like the propane tank, tent, etc. add up. Also, the ad doesn't mention "Westfalia" or the like. A Westy owner with any amount of experience would show that in the ad. My guess is the owner bought it, thought they'd stuff a running engine in and turn it around. Neil.

Who did the rebuild? Uncle Cledus?
