the vw brochure, in german, for the 'hunter special' starts out with
...

Volkswagen.
Fuer Jagd, Forst und Freizeit.

and shows a green 3-door syncro, with white tonneau cover over the
bed, special roll-bar cage, and front-bumper-mounted winch. yup. only
3-door. no 4th door mentioned or visible in the pictures.

on the 2nd page, it says ...

Der Volkswagen Jadgewagen.
Ein kaptitales Stueck.

the big things that i notice in the brochure are ...

* only four seats. two bucket up front, with walkway between, and two
buckets in back, with a gap between them.
* special dash, like those in the Dehler Profi campers:
- flip down table/tray on passenger side
- 9-cassesstte holder
- drink holders built into the top of the special part.
* spare tire up in the bed, in front corner on driver's side, covered
by tonneau.
* gun rack built into the pass-through storage under the bed, between
the rear wheel well and the rearmost doors.
* sliding windows in the rear. tiny, but sliding parts for
ventilation.
* seats appear to be leather. grey interior.

says you can get it the rear 3-person bench in back, carburetted or
fuel injection gasoline engines, or a turbo-diesel engine.

there was one for sale in california a while back. not sure if it had
all the gun rack and stuff, but it was green and had the roll bars and
the gun rack thingie.
