pretty strange ..
that page looks like it's copied from Overland's page. Same prices even.
Perhaps he's a dealer for them ?

on that page, I question the claim that a 1.9 NA can do 75 mph with stock
gearing .
it would have to turn about 6,500 rpm in an 82 diesel vanagon to do that.
the engines  max out at about 5K rpm of course.
