CT I See your video when You saw an Abandoned 1974 Ford F250 Camper Special.
CT Few days Back
Watching a vehicle as old as I am come back to life after not being driven since the last quarter of the last century, is quite amazing!!!
Despite the age, I personally love the style of the Volkswagen Bettle regardless what year it was made. And I love the sounds from them.
I had a 59 Bug in 1967. It didn't have a gas gauge, but had the one gallon of gas lever on the floor board.
My current 59 does not have it.
I live in Atlantic Canada and this was a treat to see a vehicle of that era still in one piece and tell what it is. Love it
Hey Brian! Thanks man! I appreciate that! Thank you! Stay tuned!
This 59 bug has the gas gauge in between the wiper and headlight knobs. That is not factory, it was an option that was installed by the dealer when the car was bought new. I’ve only seen a few bugs with it, including my 58 bug. 👍. Very cool. Check out my videos on my 58.
Cleaning and gap all the spark plug 0,026 to 0, 032
Adjust the gag of condensed point , keep the distributors loose when try to start up
Adjust all the intake valves gap to 0 .012 , exhaust valves0.008
Made sure have gas go into carburetor
😅. Gap , thanks !
Nice beetle. A good cleaning and a set of Ansens and she'd really rock. Missing Rusty, hope to see him soon!
Hey Mike! More Rusty videos coming this week. Thank you! Stay tuned!
never use starting fluid on a gas motor always use a little bit gas in bottle to start it
Hey Billy! Thanks of the advice man! Thank you! Stay tuned!
@@CTmoog Same here. Forget the spray can, just dribble some gasoline in there. Works most of the time.
I prefer the quickstart over neat fuel... Won't flood the engine. Trick is to keep spraying in small spurts while cranking and after starting until its running. But each to his own method.
@@baggieshorts1406 - By far for a car like this gasoline dribble is the way to go.
Adding to that the detail that the tank has an access broad enough. Where you can easily stick your hand a small glass in there and simply pick up some gas. No hoses needed. Perfect for a 6 volt start system.
Ex 1960 owner here. ;-)
WD40 works well for starting,intermittent spray will keep them running until fuel gets picked up again,will smoke like Hell (surprised the EPA hasn't shut Hell down....),
My father was a VW tinker here in Brazil for 25 years, he only manufactured Beetles, he was the most called for cases of Extreme Bodywork in Beetles
No beetle should be sitting around for 45 years, they’re meant to be driven. My 66 is my daily driver/work truck. Love the simplicity of the air cooled engine.
A '66 was my first car bought new. I'd love to have one again. Hell, I'd even like the opportunity to just drive one again. :-)
Yes, I agree. This one will be bacon the road soon. It's a really nice survivor! Thank you! Stay tuned!
@@joewoodchuck3824 Hey Joe, wow man that's pretty cool. They are fun to work on and drive! Thank you! Stay tuned!
I don't know your climate, but let me know if you want more winter heat up front very inexpensively or free.
joe woodchuck The sleight downside of a 66, is that it’s a one off year, and some parts only fit the 66. I don’t know if I could find a 1300cc engine that came with that year. I don’t have the original transmission, I have a freeway flyer transmission, it’s very cool.
There are no changes for 1959 VW Bug, except for serial numbers. For 1958, the changes are: 1). Stronger fan belt, 2). Stronger reinforced frame, 3). Wider brake drum, 4). Larger rectangular rear window; windshield slightly enlarged, 5). Flatter accelerator pedal; formerly roller type, 6). Radio grille moved left a front of the driver, 7). Front turn signals moved a front of the fenders, and 8). "W" on the deck (engine) lid dropped.
The door cards looked like they were in excellent shape. Nice old Beetle.
Yes, it really is in great shape! Thank you! Stay tuned!
Two "experts" who have no idea. After such a long service life, change the oil, change the plugs, replace the contacts, remove the ignition cable, remove the carburettor, clean the diaphragm and nozzles, check the fuel pump, replace if necessary. It is best to remove the engine, check valves and cylinder heads, if necessary, work on them, replace head gasket, additionally check clutch and replace if necessary. Everything else is nonsense, even if the engine should start someday.
Great advice Lollo! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it. Thank you! Stay tuned!
As sweet as my ‘66 Beetle!
I’m pleased they still exist and are in good hands! ❤️
There are no changes for the 1959 VW Bug, and everything was left for 1958, both body and mechanical changes. For 1959, VW Bug only Change is the model and serial numbers changes. If the buyer chosen to add on the aftermarket fender skirts on the 1958/59 VW Bug it look cool. I have seen aftermarket fender skirts on both 1958 and 1959 vintage VW Bugs with rear rectangular back light, since it was introduced in 1958.
Make sure you have a quality rubber seal between the engine and the body. If it's brittle and broken hot exhaust will enter the closed engine compartment. The fan will recirculate that hot air over the cylinders. Number 3 cylinder runs hot enough already!
My grandfather had a Beetle like this .Same color also..The engine of his Beetle drove about 350 thousand km's without big repairs !
May be the fuel does not reach the carb? Why the engine starts and after few seconds stops ? The engine sound is amazing !
In old cars, the fuel pump is mechanical. The engine must be running to pull fuel from the tank. On engines that are stalled for a long time, it takes time for the pump to start running at full capacity.
That distinctive noise that appears at 0:43 that is the sound of a heart that wants to beat to life!
Thanks for posting. It's a great looking car. She is now being treated like a treasure. She deserves the attention. I always add on to my comments. You have a valuable resource in your friends that have a lot to be able to teach you. Best wishes, Ivor
Hey Ivor! It really is a cool car. They are good friends! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
My first car was a 59 in 1970. No gas gauge, just a stick with some lines. Needed rewiring, did it all in red. Had Oldsmobile rims welded on VW centers, 9.00x14 on the rear, 7.50x14 on the front. Only ran about 10 psi in the fronts or it would skate when you turned the steering wheel if there was 15 psi. Replaced it with a Mini Cooper 4 months later.
No hablo ingles pero realmente me gustan este canal y me entretiene
saludos Daniel! su comentario hace 6 meses atras! imagine I ya entiendes ingles 😄 !Dios te bendiga a superarte! yo alreves tube k aprender Spanish!..aki en USA 🇺🇸! desde niño en Chicago!...boricua venezolano! Borivene! 😄🇻🇪. espero k TODO bien.
si igual me facina esos videos de clasicos y restoration!.
I don’t know if anyone noticed but this car has a gas gauge in between the headlight and wiper pull buttons. My 58 bug has the same thing. This gauge is not a factory item but was an option the dealer installed usually when the car was bought brand new. It’s a bit rare to see. Very nice car though.
Take the frigging carb out and flter, clean them, take out old fuel out of the tank, install a temporary fuel tank with some gas and 2 stroke oil mix(loosening the dry rings) then start it !! Take the plugs out too !
And yes, drain the old oil you did contaminate with that carb or brake cleaner ! Basic procedure, guys !! C'mon !
Otherwise, you'll ruin it !!
Hey Marc, thanks for the advice and great tips. I appreciate it. Thank you! Stay tuned!
@@CTmoog
Hey CT, I haven't noticed it was on your vlog !! As some gus advised, using starter fluid is ok IF the engine starts like Now ! Otherwise, the stuff leaks down the cylinder walls and/or the valves,then mixes with the oil and ruins it on the spot. Up here in Canada we used to use the stuff when weather was extremely cold and our car equiped car would'nt start. If it wored, we went staight to a garage for an oil change. Now, with fuel injection, you're toast !
Keep on wrenching man ! 👍
PS Is it your's ? That's a gem, you know !! I know Mustie1 would be jealous !! 🤣
59 VW it don't look too bad of shape sitting 40 years
My dad had a golf blue 59 beetle just like this one well into the 90s. He would buy my mom a new car every couple of years, but he kept his old bug until a guy offered him alot of money for it. I was just a teenager then and had no idea how valuable dad's old bug would be someday. I wish he would've kept it, I could be driving it today.
The paint color and condition under the decklid is amazing
The same is ture for our internship engine.There is a speed after starting,and there are 3000~4000rpm,than the speed starts to drop ,return to the starting state and than turn off.
The first thing I learned working on VW’s, when tuning the carb with a screwdriver is don’t stick your pinky out like your drinking tea !!! That was back in the early 70’s and I had to have it sewn back on.
The sound of that motor turning over takes me right back. Even the rust showing through the paint gives me creeps. It's like a time machine. The only thing missing from this video is the oil bath air cleaner. Mine had the same 6 volt electrical system. It even chugged the same way the first time I cranked it. Did I mention that the gas filler is inside the trunk?😊
I love these V W Beetles. Did U get him done up refurbished. Why has he sat there for all these years? Interesting.
Fine car. What about checking spark plugs, fresh gasoline and ignition spark ?
Yes, they had already done those things before I got there. I was running bit late. Thank you! Stay tuned!
Sounds almost exactly like pickle! Love snowflake tail lights! 😍
Yes it does! Me too! =)
Porn nó, a ,
They are realy positive persons congratulation for those pepole
This brings back great memories.
By a bug, starting after long, long time, make a little fuel filters , one after tank and one before carburator, cheque and replace the fuel, see if the spark plugs have electricity, cheque the oil.. and than slowly start. Beware of rusty cylinders and old fuel...
Que raridade esse fusca todo original....esse merece uma restauração...!
I hope it’s left just like it is, as original as possible.
Yes me too
Me too! It's awesome just the way it is. Thank you! Stay tuned!
@@SladesVWBeetle Me too! =)
That car even has the original emblem on the front. Unbelieva ble!!!
Rebuild the carb and adjust the valves it should run like a top
Very nice bug
Hey Thomas! Yes, it's pretty sweet! Thank you! Stay tuned!
Clean the carb, check the fuel in the tank to see if it's any good and clean it and the fuel lines and set base timing. Verify spark. It should not be that hard to start up.
Seems like a timing issue. When he turned the distributer slightly counter clock wise it fired right up. I had similar issues with my 6=voly Model A.
No, no, no to all the comments. I think they just got the car and want to try their luck by starting the engine and hearing it for any noises. Mechanics sometimes do that.They know it will eventually need a carb rebuild and will get to it. What I would say is they should look at the whole ignition circuit and if need be renew old, rusty wires, points, plugs etc. It will then fire up at first kick.
We hope to see more videos on the progress of the restoration. Please.
Very cool!!! Nice ole find
Yes, its a nice one! Thank man!
I Been there Many Many times. What a dandy.
Thanks friend for sharing. We have 1965 Beetle.
IMMORTAL VOLKSWAGEN !!
YES! Thank you! Stay tuned for more!
Hae god mowrnig ae loVe volx oegn
0:22 beetle tried to make a rap beat xD
Ok
Limpeza do carburador resolveria este problema,!
Le hubieras ayudado mucho a Vocho si con tu mano taparas un poco la entrada de aire del carburador , la puesta a punto del tiempo es darle 10 grados de adelanto al tiempo de esa manera funciona muy bien
Adjust the valves. Rebuild the carburetor, and flush the fuel system and gas tank. Static time the distributor. And use a squirt can of gasoline and not starting fluid.
u
I had one exactly like this - same color. Wow - I miss that car!! ❤❤❤
Love it, my dad had one back in the day. If I can ever afford one that’ll be my classic car.
Pretty Beetle 😄👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Mic! =)
@@CTmoog u
Ok
Saludos cordiales. Buen video yo me quede así Ayer. Hiba a mover mi combi y se le murió la batería, bueno así son las cosas con éstos autos, saludos cordiales hermano desde tierra Azteca
I hope you get it going again. Sorry about your battery...Thanks my friend! Thank you! Stay tuned!
That's a cool looking early postwar KdF Wagen! Can anyone say Fahrvergnugen?
Seems like a timing issue. When he turned the distributer slightly counter clock wise it fired right up. I had similar issues with my 6=voly Model A.
Love that car. Nice color and interior is gorgeous
Thanks E-man! I wish it was mine! =)
It in good cond. Nice vw bug.
Hey Tim! It really is a nice 59! Thank you! Stay tuned!
estes motor 1200 6 volts dava um trabalho para funcionar muita paciencia muito bom valeu
Se fosse Marcelo Tonnella não daria esse trabalho todo!
Isso sim que é um motor antigo,muito bom.
Thank you! Stay tuned!
Another one back to life..awesome
Yes, it's pretty cool feeling! Thank you! Stay tuned!
wow , nice car ! pull the choke :)
Yes this is a nice one! Thanks man! =)
Que contradição, esses moços encontrarem essa raridade e não saberem lidar com ela. Pro fusca pegar fácil, ele precisa estar com o carburador bem limpo, injetando bem, bateria boa, o que tem, velas e bobina novas, estar no ponto, ter corrente e gasolina nova, limpa, se possível fora do tanque, e fluindo bem. Se for necessário, saca os cabeçotes e revisa a abertura e o fechamento das válvulas. Tomara que eles não queimem o arranque do carro porque, WD não é combustível não.
Kkkkkk dois leigos 🤨 brincando de mecânico kkkkkkkkkk😂😂😂
Concordo. Os brasileiros sabem muito bem funcionar o VW beetle
Creio antes de dar lhe com bateria forte e gasolina limpa e fora do tanque, deveriam trocar as velas, os cabos e o platinado, fazer ajuste correto do ponto de ignição, além de verificar a folga das válvulas, e trocar filtro de combustível.
Como ele fizeram nesse vídeo, poderiam ter danificado completamente o motor dessa jóia raríssima !!
My first was a 59 with turn signals on the door posts :) I never got it on the road :(
Oh wow. What year did you own it? That sounds like a nice one !
@@CTmoog like 1978
My dads 55 has semaphores! They are so cool
A 59 with semaphores would have been a Euro car, American market stopped using semaphores in 55!
marcijunebug hey now. Don’t you have a bus to be working on? Much ❤️ lol
Omg! I absolutely love it! What a beautiful beetle!! #VW
Me too! it's pretty amazing! Thank you! Stay tuned!
Dad, you brought the car back from Florida
What a way to start and engine. Ken Smith was bang on. Clean carb and at least static timing especially with a new dizzy. Would have then started on the button. Using so much Easy Start will be no good for an engine.
Thank you! Stay tuned for more! =)
I used to have a Gulf Blue '59 exactly like that one.
It's a great color. Thanks for watching!
First clean karburator1.
Very good my friend! 1200cc dinamo old school!!!
Regards from Uruguay!!!
On the 59 VW just clean ,calb off n plugs, clean gas n oil in to the calb will help
Brand new coil and ignition its not really 45 years sitting.
Same year as mine,mine is darker blue,no gas gauge or radio...super simple wiring
I hope they have taken the plugs out and put some oil in the notes to unstick the rings from the bore and pistons!
When my vdub would turn over but not run, I would think it is either not getting fuel, or not getting spark.
That's a gem. Think I'd go for the oily rag look and preserve the patina.
Hey Sean! Yes, that is a sweet ride. Good idea. Thanks for watching! Stay Tuned!
It remain me my first car, same year.wow!!!!
Awesome. Looks like mine.
Hey Scott! That's cool man! Thank you! Stay tuned! =)
Timing should be at 10 degrees top dead center and it lacks fuel supply to keep running
Good looking vdub. What a beauty!!
Nice work guys.....
Beautiful german beetle!! Brazil
Yes, it's a nice one!
That starter is soooooo HOT.
Nao tem gasolina vai funcionar como?
Did you clean the carburetor, fuel lines, if the car has been parked for any amount of time, the gas gets gummed up and.it creates problems, like starting issues.
View #8,896 at 5:44 PM on 9/23/19 - NJ
Thanks John! Stay tuned! =)
...and it was running with 6 voltios battery and the engine was 1200 cc
6 volt yes, 36 horse engine, went to a 40 horse mid year of '62. 58 to ,59 changed from small rear window to the larger verson
I would hope at least the oil was changed and carb. rebuilt, plugs and points changed before trying to start????? If not when it does start???? .... the engine could be severely damaged.
Been sitting for 45 years so let's run it on brake clean? Try next time a little 2 stroke mix to help lubricate the cylinders instead of killing them brake parts cleaner
Cool find
Amo muito tudo isso aí carros antigos e com migo mesmo ❤️🥰
Once you restore these Volkswagens, do you sell them ? What’s the website?
Close but no cigar, it will run again once a real mechanic checks it out. Good luck , dudes.
Thanks Chuck! I agree! =)
ICH habe einen VW Käfer Porsche Bj.1958 Alles Orginal mit Winker und Blinker. Sonderlakierung und einen Motor mit Holz 30PS und läuft und läuft bis heute super gut. Mein Vater war mit dem Wagen orginal beim Unglück in Legende dabei 1963.Alles in einer Familie Opa, Vater und der Sohn fährt ihn bis heute.
I Love you The bugs!!!!!
Thank you! =)
Why do I like this old junk so much?
Because it awesome! =)
O bicho é burro
Trator
Very interested in what happened to this 59, currently restoring a 59 myself thats been sitting for 20 years ahah. Although mines got semaphores wondering why they're different there. Any way love the vid!
