Important point and my first thought.

And, poorly lit images of the vehicle suggest either poor camera
skills, a less than average cell phone camera, or they don't want to
lead off showing dents rust etc.

Regardless, if engine built right, could be a decent buy. A few dents,
minimal rust seems pretty normal for Westy of that vintage and price
range. OTOH, things like the propane tank, tent, etc. add up.

Also, the ad doesn't mention "Westfalia" or the like. A Westy owner
with any amount of experience would show that in the ad. My guess is
the owner bought it, thought they'd stuff a running engine in and turn
it around.
