- This was my first project after breaking my back this spring. Apologize that its taken me a couple months to get it uploaded. It has been a crazy year. Thanks for watching everybody. JC.
Special Thanks to Carl and Cheryl from Teton Van Works for helping me recover this old Super before the scrappers could get to it. - Авто/Мото
Great year for the bug,
we had two of them in 74.
Very reliable, wish I could go back.
Nice to hear that Volkswagen running again,
I swear three bats flew on outta there when he fired it up
I can’t believe how smooth that thing runs after sitting so long ….! quite amazing…!
German engineering
One word...MAGNIFICENT.
Fantastic Bug, and that’s the sound i heard as young men everywhere 🤗 I’m from Germany and my second car 1982 was a Bug 1200ccm 34 HP 😃
Abraços pra vocês torço pra seleção da Alemanha Deus abençoe você e sua família
Um dos melhores carros engenharia alemã
Fun watch! If you owned a bug back in the day you probably have a hundred stories about the good times you had with it!!!
Next door neighbour had a same colour Beetle 1303 was a '72 back in the early 80's here in the UK what's not to love about an old bug 👍hope this car gets a lovely restoration so glad you got it running👍👍👍
Absolutely....amazing build quality, . Your determination really motivating.
Amazed how good that rear chrome bumper is.
These vintage VW’s will always find some way to surprise us. There is a old saying: “If the engine rotates freely, it will run.” 99% of the time, it is true.
Amazing how many fire up after sitting for so many years. JC.
Where is this shoot pl which place n country
@Jaya Prakash. Thornton, Idaho. U.S.A.
It was so good seeing this old car fire up and run ….I hope it gets restored back to the way it was in the 80s….❤
I came across your videos by chance
I love the look of the old VW Kombi and beetles
Especially how they sound
Nice save on the super beetle . Didnt take much to get it to run in which is ideal . Thanks for sharing !!
Not too bad at all. Thanks for watching. JC.
I was just given a '74 VW that has been sitting since '95. The body is perfect, other than surface rust, and the engine is complete. I'm about to tear into it so this video will get me motivated!
A free v w. A couple bucks. U got a friend. That's my dream. Super beetle.
God, the engine has got a very healthy sound! And no smoke as someone noticed already!
Even before it fired you could tell that the motor is in excellent shape. When it did start: Confirmed!
Lots of bits hidden in the weeds! I could spend days unearthing rusty gold from the grass in a place like that.
The encrusting of lichen along the trim and window-edges is pretty neat! Nice fix, runs good!
I did end up with a beetle roof rack, some wheel adapters and some pretty cool old mag wheels. Lots of stuff there for sure. JC.
Cool bug. Sounds like a good engine.
Good time of recreation and thanks for the new Video discover this old Beetle :-)
You bet. Thanks for watching. JC.
The engine sounds really strong. Maybe a fuel pump and a carb cleaning and it'll be a real runner. The body definitely needs some rescuing.
My buddy changed out the distributor and a new carb and its running pretty good. Motor is actually going in a different car. Not sure what will become of this body. Its pretty rough. JC.
That rear bumper is in very good condition by the looks of it. Nice save.
Minty!
Estes motor VW são muito gostei do vídeo parabéns. saldação do BRASIL
Great video, kinda like the old days, huh?
Empathize on the back issues, hope you heal quick. Good save!
Thanks James. I'm getting a little better every day. JC.
Yes, very good times.To me those were the good o'l days.
I had a green 1973 Super Beetle that looked just like that in 1975 and 76. That one sounds good!
Back in 1984 my girlfriend Dyanna owned a green VW similar to this one.
Had to watch the first start vid for that reason alone. Good job!
Not till I see stuff like this that I realise how much I miss those days when I had my bug.
I am looking forward to see this 1303S be restored. You’ve got a gem 💎 ! Congratulations! I love that car!
It’s alive but needs more love 😅🎉
Love the teal colour!
We have a 67 bug in that same color. I believe they call that color Java Green. JC.
@@Volkswear I have a La Grand Bug in Viper Green. I'm so undecided about whether I'm going to maintain that original colour or go for something different when she's restored. Fortunately nothing is happening quickly over here.
É por isso que sou muito fã desses carros , também tenho um é só alegria
Llegan asta dónde es imposible imaginar
No worries your doing a great job. Nice VW
I had one just like that when i was in the military 20 years ago. Same color and interior color
Fabuloso!!!!!!!!!
Las defensas en excelentes condiciones sin óxido, las calaveras muy bien, no se tostaron por el sol, y la pintura súper, por eso los bochos son muy buenos, Made in Alemania 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Volkswagen is the best! Greetings from Brazil!
Congratulations I have a vw sedan type 113, year 1991, yellow color, I love my car, greetings from Mexico
My parents had a few VW beetles over the years,very reliable car. It sounds like a VW Beetle & goes like one the very best & very reliable car Germany ever made.👍
Rotor made in West Germany that’s stinking awesome! I’d keep it too
Nice Man. The white body next the truck, looks like the one in Brazil.
I love the VW design! I’m a big guy so I feel claustrophobic in the Beetle. I do like the van’s also the old Schiraco.👍
Simplicity! Genius..
sorry to hear about your back, hope you recover quickly.
Thank You. I am on the mend. Hopefully I'll keep getting better everyday. JC.
Im very much crazy about VWs .
I had Golf of 1983 model for 3yrs,. It was a great fun to run around in it.
Amazing! Power on Lil Bug!!
We never get any cars or engines like VW VW never give up
Howdy JC. Good to see You back at the Garage. My Brother bought an old 73 Super Beetle a while back. Nice Job getting that old one Running again after 30 years.
Thanks Dan. That's cool your brother got a Beetle. Now you might need one. ;)
@@Volkswear I'm really leaning towards a Vanagon myself. I see a lot of them around here but none for sale. I sure would like to have a nice one of those.
My family bought a new 74 Super Beetle in the same color. Forest green.
Fantastic original interior 😍
And of course fantastic original paint....very nice surviver ;-)
And to be honest with you, it runs sweet for a car unused for many decades...I bet it's a low milleage car
Супер. Фольксваген форэво! Класс!!!! Привет из России. Молодцы!
Thanks for watching. JC.
I’d love to eventually get a beetle in that shape, the first start videos are awesome
Still a long way to go, but you got it running.
Wow you don't see these old cars too much anymore in New York that is a great find I always wanted a Volkswagen like that. I have a 1998 Chevy Tahoe LT with 232,000 and its in very good shape only cleat coat failure on the hood and the top of my truck . I am thinking about selling it eventually but the four wheel drive stops me from selling it ,great winter truck.
Sits 30 years, first start, full rev. GG.
Engine sounds pretty decent! 👍
Not too bad considering how long its been sitting.
Yup, I had one like that, metallic green, 1974. They were very reliable if kept well maintained. The points gap needed adjustment every 4000 miles or so, then they would always start, rain or shine. Whoever buys it off you needs to remove the engine though, clean out all the straw in the fan housing. Not good to rev it up too high until all that is done.
They are amazing little machines. JC.
Just got a 71 an the old man I got it from was doing some work on it an I guess he left a blue shop rag on the fan housing... is my guess so the generator went out so I swaped a alt in it an in the fan was that blue rag I'm guessing it sucked it in from the top somewhere in to the fan hole in the back
HERMOSO!!!! FELICIDADES. Saludos desde Guadalajara Jalisco.
431 years later….
the bumpers are still shinny.
Looks to be Superbeetle 1973ish. My first car was a 73 Superbeetle. I loved that car.
VW con Suspención tipo Mc.Pherson más qué un beetle un Mercedes..le dieron vida a una leyenda..! Buen trabajo.
Amazing restorasi
You know in 1974 there was a seatbelt interlock system so if you were in the drivers seat it wouldn’t start unless you wore the belt. My apologies if someone posted this already but I don’t read all the comments.
I bet that car was in very good shape when it was parked.
con esto queda demostrado que el VOLKSWAGEN es un auto maravilloso ! DAS AUTO 🇩🇪🇦🇷
Pretty cool find I like scrap metal cars but that one looks pretty decent
Nice work
Nice colour.
👏👏👏👏👏 show👍
First car I ever owned!! Had lots of fun with it in high school, great memories!!
Thats Awesome. JC.
I 2nd that!!
Unreal dude
It's a runner! Good job😎
Yes indeed. Thanks for watching. JC.
Sometimes, someone messing around with these VW engines, not understanding they have an electric fuel shutoff, will conclude the engine is just not going to start no matter what. You end up getting a good engine at a good price because they didn't know how to get it started.
Old Bugs NEVER die, the new ones on the other hand well I can't comment those words on RUclips or I'd be banned for life.
Runs great!
Hello Salvage yard worker from some state and farm. I see the licensed plate as a proof of who had operated the Green mean Volkswagen super Bug. It is tamed only if you add more parts that replaced the bad seal of oil. The bug is air cooled sedan 2 doors atop the trailer named 4 wheel Master and its park for a week until you have to pay for new tires because you are in their tire center property. The tire will proof that the inspector will sell you the fee for overall and while you do the overhaul the check-up as we inspect the shop or your bug. Reason we run the brand because we don't buy radiator fluid that has to have brand like Prestone or Peak. We use the brand like Car and ply V-belt to keep the clean bug but we need wireless vacuum cleaner so that the dealer would know that you volunteer and learn to help the dealership and the lot owner to attract more potential buyer. We still run the brand because it's smaller than brand named Prestone. If you go to Discount and make discount to slash the price off because they sell product without add in the retail pricey parts; on were made in American China International parts that would sell gasket set to overhaul your broken engine or is your engine is 1600 cc will run as operator expect to let it last up to 250,000 miles reading in Vollkswagen Bug's odometer. We will take camera picture of your licensed plate in your green Volkswagen super Bug so that the people is ready at same time to sell you the operationable and salvageable transportation called vehicle. You shall not go to the DMV because it needs to be inpect the more parts to help the super Bug green sedan 5 window and no vent wing window. The old no good licensed is inside the car and it must go to estate so the estate will overhaul all licensed plate and melt all licensed plates to be sold as scrap to the trust board and DMV. But we don't melt it - I sent it back to DMV licensed dealer and you will need licensed and add number and letter your the green Volkswagen because without the licensed plate then you are not allow to earn money or value or even spend on trading post area. Period. But you said the trailer have licensed plate but throw the trailer licensed plate away then right away get the car licensed plate to save your money. Sir? In case when you have trailer and the Bug then most likely to drive the trailer that can be power up by borrow someone else's steering wheel but the Insurance force the liability of the law that someone else is licensed to drive only one vehicle and not more - To save money and be the money Miser - the wiser.
Beautiful 🚗
I heard someone that are in the channel forum said the super Bug is running with your experience and then the tools will stay and lock up the Volkswagen doors but No key is avail is it since you did hot wired the Volkswagen for a good reason. The worth of your work was it was a broken runner and then it became runner with a proof of recording of its sound loud enough to go to the licensed lawyer inside DMV everyday like mechanic ASE will appear at counter sales and financial manager combo in USA area.
That's a '74 California spec car. Engine is really complete too, which is nice.
Super Beetles are great (along with pre 65s) but these really have the edge on practicality!
Why not 66-67 cars? Just curious. JC.
I bought a new 1980 beetle $1839.00. Drove it 100,000 miles and sold it for $ 1000.00. Great little car.
Very good condition for 50years old. That wouldnt have survived in europe to now !
'Java green' in color.
amazingly, I had similar experiences
Nice rescue!
Thank You. It was a fun one to drag home. JC.
Thank you for the video. I would like to get one in this condition to re store it.
Hey Sir. What about that Corvair, would you consider doing a first start on that one? Seems like it is in pretty good shape. I do like VW bugs they are a lot of fun to have and drive. Take care, great video.
Very Healty engine. carb letting it down. :-) I loved seeing it wake up
Magnific job
The Beetle is alive!!!
its beautiful to see this, shame i can't save one myself as i live in shitland aka iceland where most are extremely expensive even if unrestored, can't get a chance in this dump even.
oh well!
My teenage car, enjoy seen someone getting so excited about it 👍
If that super beetle has ten layers of green paint on it, it might be mine. is it a fifteen hundred? Nice cars, loved mine and really miss it. Mine was a 1973.
This VW Super Beetle is a 1974 model ...
....of course you checked the oil, too. ;-)
We did. JC.
25:59 a phone its a real phone! Thank God someone still has a real phone
4:05 ~ Jee's, could at least wait to get it home to ones garage before humping the poor thing.
I know its probably just a habit, but unless you filled the float bowl when we weren't looking, your hand pumping a dry well.
I filled the bowl through the vent. I guess it got cut out in editing. I use a bottle from a paint store that has a very small nozzle. Works perfect for filling up the carbs. JC.
yes, it was more painful than it used to be because the closed caption that I read your lip as well and interpreting to me in word and typing of we heard. The closed caption was bright and highlighted instread of dimmed down the white letters on black page that has a size as small fonts and partition of the screen/video monitor flat panel of your camera and camera stand and my watching it.
ESTA MUY BUENO EL ESCARABAJO
Looks pretty damm good wonder why I got ditched
how can the bumper be in this state after 30 years?
Nice👍
Looks like my old 74 super. Even the same color. The only bad thing about it was that it was a semi-automatic and had the worst pickup. So bad that it was dangerous on the highway 😮
I had a '69 auto-stick.....shifted it through all 3 ALL the time.
