All of the Wolfsburg models from 84 on had a fold out bed made by
Westfalia. There are 4 different versions of this bed, afaik. 3 are full
width, one a 2 person bench. Calling a metal roofed Wolfsburg passenger
model a Westy does not follow convention.

We seem to go around and around every year about what is a Westy and
what is a Weekender. I'm not sure these terms are clearly defined
anywhere in a way that holds across all years.

The Westfalia data plate is there as are the Wolfsburg badges. The owner says it is now as it was when purchased new. If it is not supposed to exist or is a rare model then it might be fun to run a check on the VIN. Jim has that and probably more details if it piques your fancy to investigate. Aren't Vanagons fun?
