The '86 and newer feel nice and modern, and the '85/late '84
feel so nice and vintage especially with the brown interiors.
The '85/'84 Wolfsburg edition campers have the extra amenities
and nice interiors, so the cost of square headlights and 2.1L
WBX seems hardly worth it.  It seems that logically the best
deal would be a Wolfsburg edition "weekender" or full camper
with a 2.1L long block transplant.

In my dreams my heart yearns for an '86 or newer Syncro
Westfalia.
