I guess for the purposes of the Samba, I would list a Vanagon under Type 2
bus '68 and up. The Vanagon is the third generation of the Type 2. (Type 2
T3, or Transporter 3). Some people mistakenly identify T3 as Type 3, which
is something entirely different. The T3 is the Vanagon, T4 the Eurovan, the
T5 the newest Eurovan in Europe. Type 3 is the notchback/fastback.

By the way, that Vanagon you listed is just like the one I bought last fall.
It's an '84, same two-tone brown, manual transmission. I also paid $800, and
then put about $1,000 into exhaust and a few other things to get it running
well. I didn't need it, but I seem to be drawn to two-tone Vanagons. I might
put a z-bed in the back and use it as my "back-up" camper, and get rid of my
'87 Wolfsburg. I really don't want to. I've been adding Vanagons over the
last ten years. I don't think I would know how to deal with getting rid of a
Vanagon. Even the '85 Westfalia that was wrecked two years ago is still
sitting in my driveway, waiting for me to finish parting it out. (I replaced
it with a nearly identical '85 in better shape.)
