Stan,

I'm just curious.
Is that the date of the "incomplete vehicle" seen on most westys and weekenders?
And is there another date as to when the conversion was completed?

Ever so often I search out information on other 83 Westies and Vanagons.
My 1983 Westy Air Cooled has a production date of September 8, 1982.
Has anyone got a 83 Air Cooled Vanagon or Westy with a production date
later than the 9/8/82 ?
I've never found one and although I don't think I have the last one off
the production line, I've found that my Westy Color *Escatorial green*
was never offered as a US Import color option.
Secondly that most of this color were sold to Military personnel and
brought in as Special Order (mine came from a military purchaser that
made his deposit in Germany and waited 6 months until he got discharged
to take delivery in the US through a dealer.)
I've found several the same color but all had prior production dates.
This is just a SNIPE HUNT so if you got one just P-mail me, don't think
the rest of the list has a reason to care about Air Heads Needing To
Know.
