Vanagonites,

Last week I posed the question "Who has the oldest Vanagon on the list??".

The feedback I got was: 
R&R GREAKER, BELGREAKER@gnn.com                           25A0006040
Jack Bateman, jrbateman@frick.speedline.ca4                      25A0006115
Dennis Gentry, gentry@serv.net
                                                 25A0006407
Jeff Carver, CARVER_JEFFREY@aphub.aerojetpd.com    25A0007484
Jeff Carver  CARVER_JEFFREY@aphub.aerojetpd.com    25A0021024
Joel Walker, JWALKER@UA1VM.UA.EDU                             25A0023906
Zeidler Helmut, zeidler@NTCNTG02DU.ntc.nokia.com       25A-0108-790
Charles Webb, cwebb@teleplex.net
                                       25A-01222-556

Thus making R&R GREAKER's #6040 the oldest Vanagon on the Vanagon or Type2
lists.  Well, the oldest that responded anyway.

R&R wins a brand new, all improved, genuine, original.....pat on the back and
the admiration of his piers for taking care of this esteemed "old Vanagon"!

Jeff Carver had collected several previous entries and asked:
"All the VIN's I received started with 25A not 24A, what gives? I wonder."

In 81 to 91 Vanagons the 25 in the VIN indicates a van body style while 24
indicates a pick-up truck body style.  Appliying that to the 1980 Vanagons
would mean that all these entries were van bodies.
