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.
