A friend of mine owned one exactly as described, and we took it to Vermont for skiing. The 4 cylinder was a stretch on I95 north (even with the 55MPH speed limit at the time), but once we were in snowbound Vermont, that thing plowed through snow that the Jeeps and Blazers had trouble with. It rode like a hay wagon with bias-ply snow tires on it, but man could it pull up a snowy mountain road to the slopes.
