Is the '71 bus the Best?

The later model T4 engine is not hard to work on either.
I like the 66-67 (euro spec at least) split window buses best. The older body style with ball joint front end and less aggressive reduction boxes. Converted to 12V and equipped with a souped up 2000cc type 4 engine... that's what I had and I wish I still had it!
Always wondered why if they wanted to change the gearing in old Kombi,s why they just didnt change the final drive ratio rather than adding a lot more complexity like reduction boxes?. Ground clearance?. Oz John
Yup.

maybe they were anticipating Dune Buggies?
