<p>Putting a Vanagon body on a bay window (T2) 'frame' would be about the most difficult, expensive, and pointless thing a person could do.

<p>no, it's a right hand drive. i have a hard time believing that this beauty was retrofitted. she looks absolutely perfectly 'California' to me, but i guess that's the only answer to why she has a VIN from '86. She must be retrofitted. </p>

<p>Well it is 26 years or not someone may have made major work done to it and mixed the Vins. Maybe they replaced the dash?</p>
