Where is the engine, under the bed? Nice
I believe that is correct. If I remember correctly from one of my old friends that drove one every day, that was it.
Now me, I truly miss my first car every day. A 1976 AMC Pacer.
. But, if I had my druthers, I'd gladly take my brothers first car. A 1969 Chevelle convertible. I hated that car back when I was a kid, but looking back, I was lucky to get dropped off at school by big brother in that.

The Corvair engine like the older VW is fixed to the transaxle at the far back.
Air cooled, 6 cylinder, manuel transmission.
So you could call it a pusher .
Service cover is in the bed just in front of the tailgate.
It also has a ramp for the bed on the passenger side right behind the door.
Oh yeah! That's how this one is! I asked my dad about it yesterday, and for a guy that has been a GM man pretty much his entire life, he knew all of that! But I guess 25-30 years (or more) with a towing service paid off.

Just saw this thread and thought I'd admit to a few I had and wish I kept. Back in the day I was cruising, racing, and trading like crazy.

The one I really kick myself over is the one my step dad offered to give me and I turned down. Because it was too old. '40 Ford 5 window coupe. What an idiot.
