The Joker is a fiberglass high-top westfalia. Since the Joker being
pretty much a euro market only item, if it's in decent cosmetic shape
$2000 doesn't sound too bad, no matter WHAT the engine is doing. If I
had the space, the time, and the spare cash, I'd buy it up, replace
that old diesel with a TDI, and repair/replace the radiator/cooling
system.
