Dan,
My first vehicle was a 67 VW Bus like your sons'. I sank about $3000 into it over a year or so and sold it for a 300 profit. I loved that bus, and spent many an hour replacing the #3 exhaust valve...3 times! I had the 3/4 ton reduction gears which limited the top speed to only 49 mph. So I would drive all day with the right foot to the floor!
Only drawback....NO heat.
You will cherish every second that the two of you spend together......
Eddie
ps I can still remember the look on my mom's face when I crawled backward from undre the van with the engine in my lap!
