Back in the early 60s I drove a 1962 Corvair Greenbriar to work with nine riders counting me. The 4 speed growled and the engine huffed but when it got to speed it cruised down the road well. I don't know the HP of the Corcvair but the VW must have struggled too. I can see it going up a grade and passengers getting out to push it over the crest kinda' like they did on Wagon Train.

I'll bet it does not have its original motor! Look at that exhaust stack!
