it's confusing a little..
and obviously very' old air-cooled' focused there.

the category is  that is closest is ....
"Type 2/  Bus -  Vanagon/Eurovan"
( it's not a Type 3 - that's a SquareBack and that ilk. )
you could use 'water-cooled VW' ..but the one above is closest.
and ...
to further confuse things...that is for 'ad section.'

when you go to enter 'model' .....
the closest you can get is     "68  and up Bus - Camper.
or 68 and up Bus - Kombi/Standard ..
or 68- up Bus - special model.

they really could  re-do that completely if they want to be 'with it' in the
huge vanagon world ..
their model listings seem all stuck back in the 60's to me.

Really could be a whole section on vanagons ..
7 Passenger, Syncro, Westy Camper, Weekender etc.
Surprised they don't have that.

'water-cooled VW' hardly makes it for vanagon. They could get with the
times. and get 'vanagon' on there solidly.
