'61 VW with 409 V8


Scott Morgan of Preston, WA brought his 1961 VW beatle to the Lance Lambert car show on 6/26 at the Triple X Drive-Inn to show his handy work of fitting a 409 V8 engine into the trunk of this 61 VW. This little hummer goes from 0 to 60 in 9.9 seconds and tops out at 135 MPH... not your fathers VW. Every hour at the car show Scott fired up the engine and answered questions for a crowd of 20 to 30 onlookers.
