I have seen at least two non-GL 87's in my buddy's shop just in the past year alone. This place rarely has less than 5 Vanagons for service in any given day. Just because they were not available per VW does not mean they are not here. just look at all the double cabs running around. Although the Vanagon.com info is deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed. BTW, the info on VIN's in Vanagon.com is incorrect in many of the Euro spec vans. BenT |
