Vanagon.com has some old magazine ads, one shows the Hobie Cat.

There is a tan Hobie Cat syncro Vanagon that I've seen around Green Bay, Wisconsin.� Was Parked for about a year at an apartment�on the bay--maybe the guy is a sail boarder??� Maybe your on the list?� Seeing any syncro around here is very, very�rare.� 
�
Of course I left a note offering to buy it.�I recall there were some misc engine parts in the cargo area.� I should have made more of an attempt to buy it, although,�I think I had 2 vanagons, wife and 2 kids at the time. I had to let the 88GL go.

"...Also, we were in Portland for Cinco De Mayo and saw this Hobie Cat Vanagon
downtown.� Sadly it was also covered in ice cream stickers.
Does anyone know more about the Hobie Cat special?� Came with a sailboard,
right?� Brendan............."
