The rear clip is off a pre March 1955, 23 window deluxe bus. Rear corner windows were used till the early 60's, 61 I think. The size of the engine lid and no opening rear hatch definitely makes it the "barndoor" era. Taillights are definitely 1962 thru 1971 variety. If it is a barndoor deluxe clip, I would hope the donor bus was no more than a rusting hulk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben T" <BenTbtstr8@AOL.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Friday, January 30, 2004 10:54 PM Subject: Re: Stretch VW Van (NVC) --- but it is still Friday
