that's a non-GL base model vanagon. rare? well its rare in there werent many non-GL passenger vans sold in '85 or '86. but this is the interior they came with..vinyl. . most had the brown or tan vinyl though, so i guess the black is kinda rare. i have a '85 non-GL NINE passenger vanagon with the vinyl interior.. but its brown , not black. its a parts van now. Also listmember Sudhir Desai from MD had a red and white '84 vanagon non-GL with the black vinyl interior....sadly, that got parted out too (i have the black panels from his van!)
whats really rare, is the '85-'86 GL silver or wolfram grey seven pass GL vans that had the black velour interior.....the seats are dark grey velour with black vinyl..and the doorpanels are black vinyl with the dark grey velour insert.. and the carpets were black. i put the interior from one of these in my doka..
