5:03 can't fix modern cars like this anymore

Wow, your engine runs ROUGH! Are you sure you are using the correct plugs for an air-cooled engine??

I have a 72 bug and I so much prefer to drive it over a modern car, you just get pure joy driving these beautiful quirky cars, its the sound the design and for a 52 year old car its so comfortable to drive 😎😎

I had the same year only in Savannah beige. My aunt had this identical car.

That is a super nice VW drive it with pride.

great video thanks for sharing! would be great to see a pedal cam of it driving on the road too!

What is the generic name of the Colours of this vw?

Thanks so much for the thorough tour! I've got my eye on a '71 95 & this orientation was super useful! :)

Bought a new one in 74 for 2000.

Does the A/C actually work decently? I have to imagine the compressor just drains any power, which was already minimal

54 year 2023 55 year2024

I had exactly the same model/colour inside out. I miss it.

The E stands for “Elektronisk insprutning” or electronic fuel injection.

The slap on the taglight loll. I love these old cars!

1969 was the year that all cars sold in America had to have a steering wheel ignition lock.

I miss my 69

This model year I had, way back in 1972. It was of course used. My dad helped me to buy it from one of his work friends back in, I think, late March of '72. Mine was a dark green color with a roll-crank sun roof (which I enjoyed a lot) The car was fun to drive yet had one bad problem: oil consumption, big time. I was told by Clarence, who sold me the car, that VW had reconfigured the engine bore and stroke size, which started actually in 1968. I had unfortunately, the engine to blow on my way back home from church (which was some 25 miles away and traveled to and from mostly by Interstate). Clarence attempted to fix the car...took him a long time to finally get it to be satisfactory. One thing for sure...that "Bug" was fun to drive when I was 21! I'd do it again but, modify that car with a more powerful engine and several things. This one, reviewed...looks pretty good. I hope it gets several things fixed to mke it a real beauty.

My 17 year old daughter is looking at getting her first car. At first she wanted a classic vw bug. But after finding out that classic cas don’t have modern features we re focused on a 2nd gen bug from the 90s early 2000

One good advice, before turning the key for starting the motor! If the car was in 1 gear, or any else and you did not press the clutch… In winter even better to press the clutch to the metal, that disconnects the motor from the gearbox, that gives the starter less resistance and starts easier.

1st car in '75. The rocker panels were rusted out then (Yankee car). Good memories regardless. Thank you.

*1967 was the first year for 12 volt.*

Such a beautiful car! Basically, anyone I speak to from the Baby Boomer generation had this as their first car. Now, you very rarely see one on the streets. There were still a lot of them around when I was young, in the 90s. Love from Germany!

Very first car I drove ( older brothers car back in the day). I ended up with one ( auto/ clutch). Fun to drive. Very simplistic car for basic transportation.

I'm Enjoying the video of your Volkswagen from Gulfport Ms.

I had a Peru green 1969 automatic stick beetle Volkswagen without any left peddle it was shifting by just using your right foot of the gasoline pedal three speed shift with air condition unit recalled because of stalling was it a bad automobile not really once I was stuck at a red light had to open rear motor hood replace on top left a horizontal fuse reconnect one wire it was fine vws were basically simple automobiles as all cars should be wrongs for one are where auto makers put turn signals hard to see if used at all two why have automatic brake systems foot brakes only less to go wrong three small windows mirrors hats to see four we should not have mucho elictronic gadgets easier to kill your batteries we had when I first learn to drive no power steering windows elrically

Looks just like my toga white 69, except I have the german version with metal dash and low seats. Same interior color. I love the white and red combo.

very nice

I bought one a few weeks ago, still waiting for the shipping because of the hurricane on florida to ship it to puerto rico, its my first car🫡

❤❤❤❤❤

I have an inherited Diamond Blue 69 Beetle so I especially enjoyed your video. Mine is in very similar condition and have been slowly replacing rubber seals, window scrapers etc. Fun cars to own and drive for sure

Simple, easily worked on, ultra reliable. What's not to like? I will never understand why only performance cars have an actual oil pressure gauge, by the time the oil pressure drops enough for the warning light to come on it's too late to prevent engine damage.

The black key is only for a Golf etc after 1974!

Currently own two. At 68 y/o they're throw backs to my youth. Great little simple cars. I have a 67 and a 73 SB. 67 first year of 12 volt in USA. Yours looks great. Red brick interior with beige paint nice combo. Enjoy.

I had a 69 Westy van for awhile, seeing the gear shift pattern on the ashtray made my heart hurt. If you think the manual shift is hard to find on a bug, try first gear on a bus. I replaced all the bushings and every part I could find and you still had to fish for it. I miss that machine

Ive been a big fan of vw's for a long time and owned a 63 long ago and longer ago when I was 7 I rode in pops 57 type 2 pickup the model with the single cab rear bed feature. That was in 1959 when we'd shuttle down and cruise out on pops boat and catch yellowtail in mexico at the Coronado Islands 🏝 Anyway you own such a great car ❤ and I rode in 1 of those too in high school. Ive even drove the thing model too. 😁

Glad you are back! Subscriber since the Shady Dell Trailer video. 🚗

Freedom of speech? not true.

E stands for electronic injection. That car has 1.85l engine. Triumph engine with a big problem, the head gasket.

just bought one as my first project car. luckily just needs simple things like new valve cover gaskets and a little tlc to the dash and leather and some paint work. this video was super helpful to understand all that its got through the ins and outs. super excited thank u!

I like this first 99. It has the 1,85l engine I had in my first car, á Triumph Dolomite. The 99 series started with the 1,7l engine. That model has a dashboard which lokes like the 96 dash of that period. But this one is also very very nice.

My first two cars were 94s and my third was a 95. I'd give my right arm to have anyone of them now.

what broooooooo

Lovely car, SAAB at its best. I still want a 95.

Is there a trick if ya dont have the combo number

wow. i love that color combo. the 1995 m edition has a gorgeous burgundy color. and youre right. the tan pops hard. I had a friend with a 96 m edition, which is that deep blue with the 5 spoke wheels and tan leather. I remember it being a fantastic driver's car, and just gorgeous to look at, but my choice would be the 95 because i love the color. Id love to buy this car lol

The Taunus V4 in this Saab is the reason Mustangs have the non-functional side vents. The 1962 Mustang I Concept vehicle used this motor in a rear mount configuration and the side scoops were functional. A number of design queues made it through to the production model, including the side vents. The derided Mustang II model returned to its Mustang roots from the drooling knuckle dragger it became by 1973. The II was smaller and lighter. Among other choices, a 2.8L Taunus V6 was offered. So the Mustang was not conceived be a muscle car. It was conceived to be a light sport car. The NHRA sticker belongs right where it is. If nothing less, as a gift from a cousin.

I just bought one with 21k miles in PR. I also have an NC, 2009, and had a NB about 10 years ago. Zoom zoom.
