Ever so often I search out information on other 83 Westies and Vanagons. My 1983 Westy Air Cooled has a production date of September 8, 1982. Has anyone got a 83 Air Cooled Vanagon or Westy with a production date later than the 9/8/82 ? I've never found one and although I don't think I have the last one off the production line, I've found that my Westy Color *Escatorial green* was never offered as a US Import color option. Secondly that most of this color were sold to Military personnel and brought in as Special Order (mine came from a military purchaser that made his deposit in Germany and waited 6 months until he got discharged to take delivery in the US through a dealer.) I've found several the same color but all had prior production dates. This is just a SNIPE HUNT so if you got one just P-mail me, don't think the rest of the list has a reason to care about Air Heads Needing To Know. Stan Wilder 83 Westfalia Air Cooled |
