You should have no problem getting a late 70's Westy for that much.  They
are a dime a dozen around here (San Diego).  You might even get lucky and
find an 80-83 Vanagon Westy for that price, if it is needing some work.

Cool!  I have some friends that go to Dartmouth... could you, like,
hassle them for me?  :)
