Sounds good.  It may take me a few days to arrange xerography - strictly 
for hobbyist purposes, of course.

After a re-scan, most of these changes came about with the '71 model 
Here's more:
Jumpseat behind driver loses electrical cutout; before '71, area between 
driver's and jumpseat seatbacks is accessible thru "kleenex"-type slot; 
later just an open bin.  **Great Frisbee storage, spot, BTW! :-)**  
There's a separate part number fur Kanada, no doubt to placate some 
bizarre and healthy custom of them blue-skinned folk rumored to live 
somewhere north of Macon.

Table clip-down changes (improved, IMHO).  110V (or whatever else y'all 
use outside of Leon County) supply arrangement goes from fused to 
circuit-protectored (anyone got that original VW extension cord -- das 
Stromlieferungskabel, Teile-Nr. ZVW 222 117 ?).

But how could I have forgotten the curtains?  By the end of '71, you've 
lost those absolutely KILLER (sano, too, man) sliding-track curtains 
over the doors, to be replaced with a three-panel snap-on up front and a 
cheesy rod-and-pocket deal on the sliding door.  Oh pale echo of thy 
former glory!  At least they're not orange yet.  IMVHO the earlier curtains 
are the most _intense_ automotive curtains ever produced.  I am very 
serious and will engage you in a distastrous (and brilliantly 
puerile) flamewar if you contradict me.  Man.

Joe, man.

PS East-coasters I'll be there in spirit but am between vans.  Besides, 
I've just barely succeeded in convincing myself my fingernails look 
better without the van, & don't want to threaten this fragile, false 
reality I've concocted for myself.

Joe Clark                                          Where there's no sense,
joeclark@freenet.scri.fsu.edu                          there's no feeling.
