The other issue, is safety, with the old split window buses. I've owned two in the past, and would never have another. You literally sit ahead of anything structural, surrounded by a single layer of sheetmetal and glass, in a vehicle designed to 1940s crash standards. Safer than a motorcycle, but not by much.
Imagine yourself sitting on the hood of a car, heading down the street, with your feet on the bumper, safety glasses on, and a thin piece of tin protecting your legs from bugs. That's about how safe you are in an antique VW bus. They look cool, they are cool, but in the era of folks driving part time, while they text, I want something that you can walk away from in low speed offset crash.
