The five-speed is a regular transaxle with the fifth gear in a shortened nose cone.
In this car it was paired with a 1776 with dual Solexes and stainless steel braided lines to an external oil cooler. It's currently earmarked for the 1958 Beetle and a stroker 1776 I have on the bench.
One year I drove it to the Portland Bugfest and the next year two or three Notchbacks in California showed with the same two-tone cut line, but in white over light blue. That made the roof look bigger instead of smaller.
It pulled the oval window easily at 55 in fourth. The hood emblem was replace with a Grateful Dead sticker.
