I remember driving a 1963 VW Micro Bus (# 241 DeLuxe) over the Continental Divide via old Rt. 50 , towing a 1957 Canadian Standard VW Beetle , with tools and parts, my Ex Wife and best friend , they were tired and missed it , *very* beautiful , I only needed second gear so i was able to maintain 25 ~ 30 MPH , this in a swing axle Typ II with a carefully tuned single port 1500 engine .
IIRC your '71 had the first year doal intake port 1600 but was crippled by super lean carby jets and retarded ignition timing for emissions ~ easy to fix , thise things were screamers after I tuned them .

When I went over the top of the Rockies in my fully loaded 1970 VW van, I was at 5mph in first gear. Tough run up and nice to hit the downhill side.
