I have the chance to buy a 1982 Diesel Vanagon (7-passenger) from my mechanic. I notice that it does not have a rear heater, and it doesn't look like it ever had one.  One thing that I had seen on other models is a piece on the floor between the front seats that directs heat from the front ducts to the rear. But this van doesn't have this either. Were either of these heating features standard on the diesels?
 
I'm also wondering what it's worth. There's someone on the Yahoo Diesel Vanagon list who says he wants to sell his '82 diesel with an extra interior and an extra 1.9 diesel engine for $2,500. He says the current diesel engine just needs an injection pump. It sounds like a good deal, but I can't get in touch with him. My mechanic wants $2,500 for his '82, in which he would assemble a decent 1.6 NA. 
 
Thoughts?
