Scott there is an admittedly breif summary of model year differences at
http://www.busdepot.com/campers.htm to get you started.

Thanks,

> I'm new to the list as of five minutes ago and thought I'd introduce
myself. I do not currently own a Vanagon but in the past I have owned two
Beetles as well as a 1965 Westfalia, purchased from the first owner who
shipped it direct from Deutschland. I drive a BMW and would like to buy a
Vanagon in the spring. I think my ideal vehicle would be either a GL or
Wolfsburg Edition (or a Carat), but Synchro is not necessary. I do want the
boxy body style, the style between the current Eurovan and the old rounder
aircooled model, but haven't been able to find a list of model year changes
anywhere on the web. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd
appreciate it.

yet if she wants her brand new Volvo, I figure I can get a late 80's
Vanagon, right? I'm a web designer/developer by trade, live in Washington
state, and will be lurking on the list for a while to get as much info as I
can before the real search begins. Thanks for your time and see ya on the
road.
