1987 has grey, not brown interiors.
'86 was last year of the brown.
I could be wrong, but both of my 87's were grey!

Isn't '87 also the first year of the 2.1?

Why did pre-'87 VW vanagons and earlier buses
have such hideous colors?

I passed up alot of good deals on westys just because
the '87 grey interior is so much nicer than the
earlier interiors.
