Thanks Charlie. But I'm not offended by Eric's comments at all. This community of like-minded Vanagon owners has helped me more than I can say. And, I've been having fun, too! But you're right, the monetary value of these vehicles belies their real worth. Last evening I was at a friend's home sitting in his new 1977 bay window bus with three other guys, talking buses, etc., and the vehicle itself is without engine or tranny! We're all going to help him install them, but the point is that these buses bring people together under a common bond, more so than any other vehicle I know. So let's just enjoy driving them, enjoy working on them, enjoy camping in them, and enjoy the people we meet who also share our strange passion.
