I have seen at least two non-GL 87's in my buddy's shop just in the past year
alone. This place rarely has less than 5 Vanagons for service in any given
day. Just because they were not available per VW does not mean they are not
here. just look at all the double cabs running around. Although the
Vanagon.com info is deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.

BTW, the info on VIN's in Vanagon.com is incorrect in many of the Euro spec
vans.
