 |
|
Hi all, I just purchased an unusual "partial" panel van, according to the papers the model is a 215 - a panel van with 2 sliding windowed doors with vent windows. I have never seen a ride like this before and I am really eager to learn more about it. Anyone out there know anything about this kinda ride? I would greatly appreciate any info y'all might have!

anything was available from the factory from new. what is unusual is that yours has survived.  |

I am not sure if it is original, But I know where there is a 72 panel with dual sliding doors and sliding windows in both doors.

OK... Any idea what the model number would be? My paper sais it's a "215" but I can't find that reference anywhere else on the web. I did some research, both here on Samba and the web but I can't find it...

Here's a picture of her... note the over painted graffiti that somewhat appears through that horrendous, blue rolled paint! Also, someone decided to put 5/112's up front. I'll replace that with OG wide 5's though. Anyone else have pictures of similar configuration bay's - would be fun to see!

Mine is a hack that I am trying to undo. 
But if yours is original then by all means keep it that way. Way cool and unique.
I would love to see what that artwork says under the blue paint... |

Interesting. That 5x112 is probably due to someone swapping the front beam out with a later one. What are your plans to undo it?
Nice!

The louvers are standard on full bench front seat panels with a cab divider.

You are all partially right and I learned a bit too, bench splitwindow panels came standard with the louvers and M 116 was the delete. Bay bench panels came without them unless you ordered M 519. Assumedly the no louver option was becoming popular as more were being used for camper conversions so VW switched it.
Still would like to see that M plate Goopher.
