That horsepower rating you seeon the tag on the drivers door post is most likely the SAE horsepower rating which is different that the actual horsepower the engine produces. This is often used in some states as a basis for vehicle property tax. It is a calculated figure rather than actual.
The straight six engine though in the 60's is most likely producing about 100-120 horsepower though. They make quite a bit more torque than this this but the horsepower rating is lower due to lower engine speed.
