My first car was a 1960 VW Bug. 36 hp when new, but after 100,000 miles it was maybe 25. 0 to 60 was impossible if there was any headwind. On flat ground with no wind it would get to 65 and felt like 150. A fully loaded 18 wheeler with 13 gears was something impossible to beat from a dead stop to the next light.
I paid 600 bucks for it, and sold it for 650 two years later and bought a really fast car. 1973 VW Bug. 60 hp was fast!
