Now, to counteract, you could work the VW over a bit. You could lower it and remove the reduction axles.

Pretty sure '67 was the last year for reduction axles, wasn't it?

I think '72 was the first year for the type 4 engine, and it was a 1700cc.
The 1970-71 vans still had the upright type 1 engine, with dual port head. Quite a desirable setup actually, especially in comparison with the early 1700cc type 4 engines.
I'm sure Widebody911 will shime in and correct me.
FWIW, I REALLY like the early baywindow buses. I vote yes, if all safety concerns are covered.
