These were immensely popular.
This particular example suffered some embarrassing assembly maladies.

You'll notice that stuff was slow as hell in the 80s. Anything under 10 was considered pretty good.
Check out that 84 Vanagon if you want a laugh.

I love how they descript the T-tops as "hopefully" keeping rain drops out. Seems accurate.

Yeah, the 307ci didn't have a lot of power. 150hp, 250lb-ft IIRC. Enough torque to not feel strained in normal driving, but not enough HP to really perform. I had an '88 in high school. Even with a glasspack and a hollowed-out cat, it wasn't anything to get excited about. However, if you flipped the air cleaner lid over it did sound pretty cool.
