And we can't stop obsessing over this 60's Ragtop VW Beetle either! What a fun 'preservation not restoration' this one is!
Cold start...then takin' it for a little test drive!
Thank you EMPI for sending the wiring for the EMPI GTV build!

The 60 turned out so nice.
Thanks Rob! It’s a process for sure…
And yes, the OG german fuse holder in my 67 bug was so nice, too, I was happy. The ends oxidize no rust.
Damn Skippy! Awesome bro! Happy thanksgiving by the way 👍😎
Hope you had a good one too!
@thepunkrockgarage thanks bro. It was good. By the way, I am Will. I would shake your hand. But, my arm doesn't reach that far..lol
Great project.
Such an awesome beast!
@@youtoobe169 thanks SO MUCH!
That's a great looking 60!
@@xopherzenitram thank you!
Nailed the stance on the 60.
My ‘58 doesn’t have a gauge but I don’t think I have a reserve
I’ll find out more when the rugs get replaced.
I gotta get a transmission because when I bought the car I was told it was a new freeway flyer but of course that was a lie 😢 they painted the case. Such a disappointment
Such a bummer. Gotta ignore the setbacks and keep going. Good luck
@ yes been knocked down but I think I’m on the right track! Now I just need $ 😅
@ the money part is really real 😵💫
The wood stick was an OPTION ! --There seems to be a lot of 62's so I wonder if that gas gauge helped sales or maybe it just was the time they were catching on ? .... Hey ho, let's go !!
so sick
My dad first car in the same color. The last beetle 30 hp in indigoblue 1960.
@@henkklavers9741 awesome memories!
I had a 61 blue VW it was still 6v.
I did not catch what year the bug was in later part of the video but 68 or 69 is my guess. Rear window defogger i believe first year was 68. Idk
It’s a late 69 titled 70
Wrong doors on it.. anyway. Happy Thanksgiving
61 is the first year for a gas gauge, your petcock is broken it shouldn’t turn that much. Nice looking 60, love the stance.
@@VintageVolks1956 thanks! I’ll check the petcock!
I'm pretty sure on my 59 the lever would only turn 90° from straight up to horizontal for reserve. If it's flipping over 180° that might not be working right.
@@Metalmanparts could be, I’m still getting used to this thing…
Do have have the specs on the engine? Thanks. Nice job on the 60
Small cam, single valve springs, dual 40 IDF carbs. Mild but peppy…
@thepunkrockgarage What size is the engine and what cam? Head specs? thanks
@ it’s a MOFOCO built 1776cc. Mild non ported heads. Stock cam and dual 40 Webers. Works way better than I expected. All of my other cars are over 2000cc’s with head work a bigger carbs and cams…
Yeah, the only thing that sucks if you already have that thing in reserve and you forgot to switch it back when you filled up when you run out of gas, you're out of gas buddy.
😂
