Check the archives. There are some great descriptions about the different features for the model years. I don't recall how far back they go, I seem to recal it was around 84 or 85 last time I looked. The major change was from 85 to 86 when VW went from the 1.9 to 2.1 engine. I would recommend purchasing one no older than 86 and the newer the better. My .02 Gregg Carlen 85 Westy, 76 Goldwing, 51 Plymouth, 75 Mercedes, 69 Alcort...need more toys!
