John,
I just loved the split window VWs. I replaced the engine in mine four
times in 15 years.

I loved my 1959 VW micro-bus (split windscreen, etc.), and my
subsequent 1969 VW Transporter/Camper Bus with the pop-top and
extra canopy bed. Both died from the dreaded thrown 3rd cylinder.
The 1969 transporter managed to leave a 5-metre strip of rubber as
the engine ceased---quite impressive! The 1959 had been through so
many engines, transmissions, and just about everything else (the
body had been modified in a body-shop to make it a true ``hippie-
van''--including the wild paint job) that, at the last, it was
thought preferable to let it just die a graceful death. The 1969
was subsequently used as an office on oil drill site (the gas
heater, although flaky otherwise, proved a reliable heater for a
stationary micro-bus) for many years...

P.S. I love my VW Bus (72 Transporter converted into a Camper Bus).
Wish I had an OS for it, that would be cool.
You *are* the OS for it. Those were the good old days.
