THIS ONE IS FOR THE VW NERDS (you know who you are)
Watch our main series here: ruclips.net/video/tAuP6A-pM74/видео.html&ab_channel=KombiLife
VW nerd here, reporting for duty! Thanks for the video, that really is a weird bus! :-)
:) We know this video isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea - but it was interesting for us to learn so much about our weird Kombi so we thought other VW fans might enjoy it too.
All the various parts of your bus is what makes the Kombi so special. I appreciate the nerdy parts too. Just continue to do your thing Ben. You know what happens when you try to please the masses👍😃
I'll bite... cause I'm that nerd. The guy in the vid, he's got all sort of facts wrong...
1. The spit ended in 67 not 68
2. The front isn't 68 cause the high indicators didn't start until 72
3. The rain gutters are normal early bay size
4. The large tail lights again started in 72
Hey Ben made a video from my time in Brazil of all the VW's check it out if its okay for me to post the link here to my video. ruclips.net/video/vTzTj1doYcM/видео.html
The mystery bus explained! I thought this bus was a project from many buses first time I saw it. Very cool!
The amazing miscellaneous construction of brazilian Kombi turn any VW nerd to go crazy and makes this car unique.
And only here, in Brazil, VW can do this!
I love it!
Lol! Your just like me. When I was younger and in love with vw’s. I noticed all the small detail changes between years. When everyone saw 3 different models as the same. 😜
That is quite possibly one of the most interesting things I've heard in a long time.
glad you found it informative Jeff
Great video!!!! Makes this VW very very unique!!!
Favourite channel on YT
That was fun and informative!
Lol! Your like me pointing out all the oddities of this smorgasbord of a bus. 😜😜😜
DAS FRANKENBUS! Very cool, thanks for posting.
it's amazing that that bus was produced until 2014
it's a shame that they stopped at all
I have a 1972 bay RHD which is a crossover of parts from early and late bays. I love the split windows in the Kombi but i imagine the side vents aren't as efficient at keeping the engine cool, it must get quite hot in there.
This is awesome my 69 bay has a different front again though so this may be a later bay...
1:20 Nossa esse cara deve ter uns 3 metros de altura!
I don't think the 68 Type II had the high mounted front directionals. I believe that started in the 72-74 era.
yeah, the 68s had the 'Lowlights'
The Kombi was produced in Brazil until 2014, with a water cooled 1.4l engine since 2005.
very cool
Nice! Is that a different bus than the one featured in Limbo Life videos?
que legal.
Hi, I have a question pertaining to the frameless popout. How does it attach to the body? Are there slots in the side of the bus to fit in the 2 solid tabs?
+litemice yes it is like you said.
Yes...just goggle up
interesting vid..........cool to know..........why do you have a engine for sale sign on the back ? curious
When this was shot I was trying to sell the engine so that I could replace it with a bigger one. But in the end it didn't happen
He certainly knows his stuff. Seems your bus is completely unique. personally I think you should keep it, get it really properly sorted, use it for your family and give it to your children (if, as and when you have them). There memories of this van would be multi continent and multi generational. Unless you have already given it away.....
we have unfortunately, maybe one day it will find it's way back to us
Ben, were you spaced out when you filmed this? He's pointing out the windows and you're pointing your camera somewhere else. He's telling you about the engine and you're filming his torso minus the head. 😂😂😂
We didn't have a great deal of B-Roll to work with on this video, it was a one-take video to capture the moment of Doug looking over our Kombi. We wanted to put this out because not everyone has the opportunity to see such a rare VW outside of South America. It was an impromptu video filmed at a drag strip in California. This is different from our main series where we spend hours capturing and editing a single scene to share the adventure with you.
No worries. I was just laughing and weirded-out as you filmed him without his head there. 😁👍
Front is '73 on...'68-'72 had low long turn signals
thanks
how much can you pick one of these up for in central/south america?
about 8000 (serviceable) to 15000 brazilian reais (good condition) for the older models, upwards of 30000 for the later watercooled ones. they are really coming up in value since they stopped being produced
Ben, is the Kombi still for sale? Cheers, Mate.
no sorry we gave it away
Kombi Life Thank you, Ben!
So sad you gave him away :/
so are we
Kombi Life But i guess there will come something new maybe in a different part of the wolrd, right? ;) I plan to travel from austria to sweden this year in my 1984 vanagon, lets hope we make it up there in one piece.
sound like a fun trip
Can anyone be so kind and tell me when s gonna be the next vw car show Wil be
Just like my Bus
He wasn't talking shit about the bus.. I swear people try to get mad over anything
top
are you avoiding venezuela? lol
Typical American, knows a whole lot of useless info. Knew so much about the bus. He probably hasn’t left his Neighborhood his whole life.
+Olliepants sorry Doug can’t respond right now, he’s in Germany
