I suspect price ranges go all over the place. I just bought a '67 Westy for $750. It is complete, runs, needs clutch/brake work, has holes in the front floor, has rocker rust and needs new canvas/seal for the poptop.

The camper equipment shows wear, but is all there and functional (except pump for water). All the jalousy windows work and it is missing one screen.

It's not pretty, needs new windshield seals and has bright red carpet, but hey! it came complete with an AM/FM/CB/8-track in the dash that works!

Also, I looked in the latest Old Cars Price Guide I have (June 1992--time to buy another). They do not have a camper listed for 1965, but all type 2 models for that year are listed at between $600 and $750 for Condition 5 (restorable) and between $950 and $1300 for Condition 4 (Good, read driveable). Does that help?

p.s. Sorry for the delay to answer your question. I just looked and realized I responded to your question on the wrong list. Duh.
