On that ad on the 80 Westy- I like that - "It is what it is."
For about 500 bucks ( 1,250 seems way high to me for a near dead 80 westy,
with rust...........oh.....and 'new wiper blades' - hot Shazam ! ....lol )
..........but way high I think.
But the westy parts,
The DK trans if  it's good - all valuable.
And I 'suppose' if someone wanted to get into a ratty air cooled westy for a
grand and get it going it could be worth that, sort of ..    
But seems like a lot to ask for it.  I'd advise the guy if he can get 500,
take it.  

Parts wise, one problem for a lot of  people is no place to keep an extra or
parts donor vanagon.  But if you've got that, and the price is right
.............. 
I'm even getting one free, ( air cooled westy ) no rust I don't think, sans
engine and trans, but for the westy stuff...........fine deal.

I run Non-Westy '87 Seats in my 84 and yes they are a bit taller, but like
Mark, it's not an issue with me either.

For those who don't know - Chris Turner is in Allentown, PA.

It's always the case that the west coast owners need the stuff and it's all
sitting in some Amish "burg" back east.  Such is the way of life ;-)

Yeah but if you west coaster's need a part you can just buy a "new" used van
in pristine condition from one of the 1000's available for sale.

Here is "The Van" available within 200 miles of us right now:
