I spoke with the guy; his name is Ted.  I believe the van is sold, since
it's no longer on CL, but not sure of that.

He sent me additional pics: it has a good sized dent beneath the right front
turn signal, a large but minor dent in the slider, and a bit of rust over
the right rear wheel arch.  

It has a 1.8L in-line engine mounted to a diesel bell housing.  He says it
runs OK, but has only been driven a few miles in the last ten years.  Has
about 170K on the clock.

Pop top needs to be replaced - major holes.

If he still has it, I'm still interested in it.

So, you're going for the one thing that Craigslist makes a big deal of 
not doing -- sending money.  I would not.
