VW buses have insane hipster taxes on them. Expect to pay 30 grand for reasonably good condition. I don't know which of the American vans (Econoline, Chevy Van, A100) is the most produced and numerous of the era, but the most unusual period American van is the Chevy Greenbrier on a Corvair chassis with a rear-mounted, air cooled, underpowered flat-6 engine, much like the VW bus.

Buy a VW T5. Mines never let me down, and there's plenty of conversion kits available
These all look like complete deathtraps and I drive a fox body
You can get a tintop VW for pretty cheap , I would get a vanagon if I were you.

I live near a guy who has restored one of these, never had the time to stop and talk to him. Mostly just a thumbs up as we drive paste each other.
His is a sky blue and white one, chrome rails and bumpers.
buses rust like crazy.

Not true, its just that people keep them even if they got rusty in the rust belt.
They never get scrapped

This, plus these fuckers tend to be cheaper. I used to have a 61, myself.

VW campers are legitimately a menace to other traffic.
> Slow and underpowered
Crawl up hills, crawl along the straights.
> Underpowered brakes
Crawl down hills in first, trying not to cook the drum brakes.
> Air-cooled
Overheats in summer. Overheats in traffic. Overheats in general.
> RETRO
Unsafe in a crash, which they'll collect.
They should be banned from the road unless fitted with modern brakes, suspension, and engine, and with a radiator in the front for proper cooling.

How is a slow vehicle unsafe?
You know that more than half of commercial trucks are governed under 60mph?
Studies show that at 56 mph they are safer on the interstate than ungoverned trucks

Nice work, I love any American passenger van from the 60s. I would love to get one someday and take a road trip in it.
