forget the vanagon, go for a '68-'71 bus or westy...  i've got a friend in
your same situation - in a band..college student.. he has a '71 westy. the
benefit of the '68-'71 buses are they are easy to work on, easy to get parts

if i were you, i'd look for a '68-'71.

also, check out the type2 list, they'd be able to do you more good than the
Vanagon list.
