its actually supposed to be a '84..  but, as with any TV or movie
series, they have duplicate vehicles.. so they may had a '83 aircooled
as a duplicate.. most of time during the series they showed TC  (the
black guy) driving a '84 7 pass as the Island Hoppers van.. fwiw, one of
the originals turned up on ebay a few yrs ago in atlanta... no bids..
  i wonder where it is now..
