Peter Brock attributes winning six hang glider World Championships thanks to a special 1971 Volkswagen Bus. The sport required Peter to transport the pilots and gear up and down mountains on dirt roads. The factory VW flat-four just couldn’t keep up so Peter installed a Buick V8 mated to an upgraded VW transmission. Listen as Peter explains the project to Jay Leno.
