This is about as close a pic as I could find...1953 VW Beetle. 1300cc motor, already had the #3 exhaust valve burned out and so it ran on 3 cylinders. Stock and blueprinted it had 36bhp, so my little gem had less than 27, that's for sure! i lived near Lake Arrowhead, CA and it was notorious for lumbering up the steep grades in 2nd gear at a breakneck speed of 20mph!! I think I still managed to get a speeding ticket in it, or maybe a speeding certificate, it was the late 60's and I was living the dream....it was all a blur.
