never heard that before..   anyone else verify this?   Dont think it would
make any sense that they would call the vanagon both the type 2 and the type
3 at the same time.....everything that i've read, been told, and have learned
says that type 2 production ended in '79.

also, vw vans badged as "transporters" usually were "no frills" baseline, or
utility versions.

but, in the land down under, things could be different..  :<)
hey...are they still making the ford falcon over there?  my dad has a '63
model... ;<)
