This Beetle looks awesome for being 64 years old! The engine shouldn't be too hard to fix; this is the kind of technology you can fix with a hammer, a srewdriver, a set of spanners - and that's it! Maybe it needs a new carburettor, a new solenoid, then set the ignition...None of this bloody electronic stuff we have in the cars today!
You are one of the nicest coolest VW guys I've ever seen. Your patience and humor is amazing and the way you interact with your son is awesome. You are a great dad. Thank you for all your great videos.

Dont rush it! Get some good sticky rubber on all 4s, or youl roll it the first rain on a winding road! That front end likes to drift! I rolled my moms 68 and i dont think the tires more than 2 to 5 years old?maybe they were radials. All i know is the front end on a beetle likes to skate on damp roads. You have to drive really slow in a beetle because they have no front end traction. You have to drive them like a tractor really really slow.😢
That bug is 6 months younger than me, how I would love another beetle, I had a '74 1200 and my wife had a '73 1300 back in the days before the internet and mobile phones.....sadly lack of space and cash flow prevents this...................atb from England
I SHARE YOUR PASSION...... I have a near perfect '57 from the original owner and a very clean '67 from the second owner. My VW history is '57 Oval, '69 Bug, '69 Baja, '68 Westfalia, '73 Thing and the two I currently have. I was bitten by a bug a long time ago. 🪲
haha ! Oh man , how long does it take after getting your first hitch to remember it's on ? I wasn't the fastest learner on that , DOHHHH....thank you Brent , have a great weekend
5150mxVW don’t tempt me.... we don’t get many bugs like this over here... I’d love your spot.. so much space and a very understanding wife ... Soooo Jealous 😁😁🤙🏻🤙🏻
every time I see one of these vids it reminds me of when I was 15 working on a 25 dollar VW van. I did get it to run long enough to blow it plumb up when I sprung an oil leak. I knew nothing then. Also sometimes reminds me of my VW square back that was fuel injected.. until that quit. A new fuel pump, lines and all failed to fix it. I traded a motorcycle to a guy for repairing it, it ran just long enough for him to be gone with the bike... then quit again. I about burned it up messing with putting fuel directly into the intake...but even burnt I got as much out of it as I paid for it. (wasn't that much) I really liked that square back when it was right. Always started even in below zero weather, it had one of those gasoline powered heaters that you could actually turn on before you even started the car (it had a timer on it, it would run for ten minutes without the car running) so it was never uncomfortable in the winter, no air so a bit warm on the few really hot summer days we got where I lived in Colorado. I still love VWs but don't own one now. They're too pricey now if they're in decent shape. Hell, it's hard to find a bug or van that's drivable and unmolested. They're either piles of rust or have had all kinds of nasty things done to them. A few years ago, I went to a car show, not a huge one, there were old classics, resto mods, hot rods, and all sorts of things. What car got the most attention, a bone stock, unmolested VW bug. I was checking it out very closely myself. the lady that owned it was surprised it was getting so much attention. I just told her how rare one that's bone stock is, and how hard they are to find these days. My wife at the time ticked me off, we had a chance to buy an unmolested very nice VW window van for a good price, she didn't want it cuz it didn't have power steering, and since it was her money from a settlement, I couldn't manage to persuade her otherwise. we wound up buying a junker olds that looked nice but only ran for like a month.
oh the window van was automatic not my first choice but hey, if that alone would have placated her, it would have been worth the trade off. I once ran across a VW Bug in a body shop I was working at that had an automatic. I didn't get it, at the time, why anyone would want or need an automatic.
ahhh , the $25 dollar Vw van .....I remember selling my 71 semi auto Bug for 75 bucks thinking I did ok on it lol .Good stories , thank you for sharing , sounds like you had as many cars as i did when i was young :)
@@5150mxVW my next car wasn''t what I wanted, it was what my folks would let me buy. I wanted an old econoline van, but they wouldn't sign for it... I was sixteen they still had to sign.. but they would sign for a 1965 Galaxie 500 four door... now just what did they think I could do in a van and not a large four door car? I could do anything but make money with it, a guy can always find a way to make money with a van or pickup truck.

V-Dub motors are so straightforward, I get why people like them. I mean, I do too, but first I have to deal with my Classic Fiat Panda and Series Land Rover obsessions ... and buy a longer drive/bigger garage...sigh. Love your vids, mate.
@@5150mxVW YUGO!? How very dare you, sir! Fiat Pandas are a gift from the Gods, and are/were top quality and fast little rocket ships, only let down by their being allowed to rust away over the years. I'm a whale, but fit in it easily and it's like driving a go-kart, but with room for the dogs in the back.!
There's a whole bunch of that Beetle that is new than 1956. I had two Beetles a thousand years ago. A 1960 and a 1959. The tail lights are at least '62 and the motor is new than that.
Early on,you can hear the 'easy' cylinder that probably has a stuck open valve.hope it warms up and snaps shut. Ive had one stuck open,started it up,didn't clear up ,so I shut it off and after a few minutes,I heard a 'ping'. As soon as I ground it over,the sound of all compression was uniform and it sat and idled good . I also fill the bowl thru the vent tube. That pulley rust can destroy a fan belt pretty quick.A drill with a stiff wire wheel cures it fast. Thats a real jewel! I love it!
Thanks for bringing back the memories. So snug in the rear seat of the small rear window beetle. I lost my faith when VW went watercooled! Great video! Watch your #3 valve clearance. Good luck, keep the faith! What can't boil, can't freeze!!
@PeterWIlson, I used to be that way, until a friend of mine, who is even deeper in AirCooled, got a new beetle from his friend who owns a junkyard ! So based on his new love and his recommendation, I bought an 06 with the 2.5 with manual (Convertible), and I love it. Maybe go try one. It's quirky, but has decent power, and still feels like a vw.
Nah! My wife has a yellow 2000 1.8 turbo (New) beetle. It has been fairly reliable and has incredible acceleration and, of course, has heating and airconditioning, but needs premium fuel, synthetic oil, expensive ignition components and has had a whole bunch of quirky problems. The plastic power window doodads, for example, ageing and breaking, dropping the window into the door. And the electrics are worse than the problems air-cooled VW's had when there was a 6 v battery under that rear seat. Old air-cooled Beetles have a distinctive ride because of large wheels and that brilliant torsion bar suspension. With the split rear window and the small rear window models, riding in the back seats also gave you a snug , secure feeling that you just don't get in modern cars, like being in a cave, hard to describe. Homenaje to Ferdinand Porsche.
I absolutely 💕❤ the sound of these older VW Beetle's unlike these, UGLY, REPULSIVE!!! new, ones, Whoever designed these new, ones only deserves one thing. A BLOODY GOOD BEATING!!! or a head doctor (shrink). Anyone with any sense wouldn't go anywhere near a new one. I Most certainly would NOT!!! Give me a 1962 or 63 In white & I'd be very happy just with a few mods, on it power steering, disc brakes & a beefed up.1.6 or 1.8 engine 2 LTR possibly 😁 As 1.3 is, rather week in power. Sadly.
@@5150mxVW I probably would like to have it but, due to my disability I am. Not allowed to drive anything above a mobility scooter SADLY!!! Can't discuss the actual reason as to why. But, thanks for making me the kind jesture of it. But, i do hope it goes to a very good home & is looked after wherever that is. 😉
Other house? Oh-Oh! let it not be true. At least you don't have as many cars as you do fans!! Although it seems like you're working on it lol!! Please don't use that in a conversation with Jen. Love the videos. Be safe.
@@5150mxVW - my favorite car that you have is the Dodge Charger. Always loved the '68 to '70. '69 being the gem of them all. Thanks for the reply. Always great to hear from you!
Hi Chuck , yeah , it was missing the W decklid too but I had a black W and installed it . I have the correct tail lights too but I might just leave the current ones on it , we shall see ....funny , I just brought home a 69 Baja and it has snowflakes on it haha !
Bonjour du Canada For young people who d'ont knows this car you see under the bumper he have two tail pipe joke of this era its normal he have two tail pipe that need two handle on a wheelbarrow my father have a volkswagen like that 6 volts electrical pratically no heating it's a air cool engine it's a nice project to rebuid this car (sorry for my poor english i try hard for write this 5 lines M,O,
drove a yellow 1971 beetle to Colorado from NY. in high school i owned a red 1963 with a cloth sun roof . driving the 71 in the Rockies, it was slow around 35 mph. slept in the 71 going cross country
I gru up with up with vw's my father repaired them my first was a 66 wrecked it. Then a 64 took it to the high school body shop new fenders rockers interior loved that car sold it got a68 Chevy ... Hated it sold it back then got a 67 ready to paint wrecked it. Then a 71super beetal did the body work had it painted sold it got a71 v Bus keep it till I got married loved it brought my first born son with it .good memories.love these old cars keep you're videos up.
That 56 is beautiful and it runs great, why would you want to put that $300 oil burner in it? Is it a numbers matching engine? Is it your car or a customer car? So many questions I know... Thanks!
Hi Trev , did I say swap the motor ? I think I was just excited because I realized the motor under the tarp was a B6 also . No this 57 ( wrong year in title lol ) would have a 36 hp motor in it . This is my car , thank you Trev .
Nice score that’s the same color that my grandfather is 58 V wagon bug was his head the white stripe down the center of the trunk hood I believe his also had a roof rack on it and I believe he had a 56 same color before that a year before that They also had the roof rack He had two of them but I think he had one and 56 he told me and one in 58 I know we had I forget about if the second one he owned was in 56 or if it was later than 58 because before that he had a 56 Chevy Bel Air that was slightly used in the handles would fall off of it
Dear 5150mxVW & son 👍👌👏 I like that black ol' bug. 2) I always wonder about those 1600ccm engines that are even in very old American VWs. Aren't there any 1200 and 1300 ccm engines like in Europe respectively Germany? Thanks in advance for answering. Best regards, luck and health.
Hi CC , thank you , my Mom sat in it today , she likes it too :). A lot of early cars just got the 12 volt treatment , later tail lights and " upgraded" 1500-1600 power plants when the org motors got tired . I don't mind the 1600 in this car because it has so many altered parts . Best Regards , luck and health to you as well CC
Dear @@5150mxVW & son. You're welcome, it's my pleasure and thanks for replying. 2) Glad your mother likes it too. So your wife is kind of overruled = 3 against one? 😁😂 3) Of course I also don't mind those "enormous power upgrades" to 1500/1600 ccm. With more torque and hp it is definitely easier to climb slopes respektive to drive with a fully loaded bug. I was only wondering if those bigger engines had maybe been standard for export to the USA (thanks to your answer I now know that it was definitely not). Additionally I think that the original "power plants" didn't have to get tired first. In my personal opinion respectively for my kind of taste, they already had been kinda tired since factory! 😁 4) 😱 No heart for my first comment...😭😭😭 😁😋😜👅 Sincerely yours.
This is still a German car, no whisky but only beer, a nice Einbecker. Engine should be a 1.2-liter 30hp, if bigger it is a newer engine. Beetles always start, my old one used to start even at -27°C on the first try! Best regards from Germany.
That young man is going to impress folks one day when he walks up to someone with a car problem, takes the trailer hitch off of a truck, whacks it, and says "Ok, it's fixed." Well done, sir. Well done.
@@5150mxVW Yes, but the trailer hitch just makes a better story. He'll be tooling around in one of your VW's one day while everyone else is paying thousands of dollars to have their Tesla batteries replaced. :-)
Jason, that '56 isn't a bad looking bug, it's got later type tail lights, you got some spare "snowflakes" for it? How is it for rust? Looks like it could come up alright, hanging out for the first drive vid. Stay safe man...
Mmm, the B code 1600 single ports are my favourite. 1970 only. The 30 Pict3 works very well with the original vacuum distributor as found on your second engine. In fact much better than that 009 in the Oval could ever do...
Hi there fella ! - My Dad like 1'000s of fathers fought bravely during WW2 - My dad fought on mainlaind Europe in a double team - only in touch with mainland Britain by radio - hiding & sleeping during day - Coming out to work at night - Getting drops of supplies by air in middle of woods and forests - only when succesfully collected they would be told the target/s to be destroyed -That would hurt hitlers nazi machine ! - He blew a lot of places of importance up duing his time out there ? Hi mate got killed & Dad was blown over a tank but was saved by french & sent home Patched up - Dad went back with the guys on DDay ! After the war Dad signed up with the control commision - It was to make ammends for all the damaged he had caused to the french inferstructure and to help rebuild as he thought ! But ended up driving the top brass about to meeting and stuff instead - eventually He ended up with his own VW Beetle - Dad would always tell us about that little car - He was one of the first Englishmen to race it down the German Autobahns - The air cooled flat four enginge was perfect working in extremes from the Hot desserts of Africa to the Cold climates of norway finland etc - The engine would still start first time-Perfect for military vehicles ! - Kublewagen & such This small car still had its teething problems though with cut backs on materials - and theives! One was lollipopin' Were driving along and going to change gear and the gear stick would come off in your hand - And when you hold the stick up - It looks like the lollipop ! - Tyres would be a prime target for stealing - Dad woke up a couple of times tyres was gone another time the whole wheels were gone - But Dad was always shouting how good it was ! Dad on hisvtime off - would drive to holland & france with supplies and things to help the families
Pourquoi ça demanderait pas ? Ce moteur à servi à motorisée tout un tas de machine voiture avion pompe faucheuse bateau sous tous les climats alors .... le temps même pas peur. Et en trouver un autre facile.Facile à démonter que du bon.
Wish I could’ve seen my parents’ ‘68 sun bug, banana yellow w/ soft top. Thing got ripped off on the streets of Brooklyn the year after my dad purchased it! He told me that 911 emergency had just been launched here in New York, and he didn’t know if grand theft qualified as one.
Hey!! By us in Germany they will pay al lot for a Beetle that looks like that. I guess you living in a dryer country. In the last years they reimported old german cars from the US. The most cars here died by rain and salt.
An older man had this car with the same black color, in absolute mint condition when I was growing up in the 70s. He used to drive it on Beechwood blvd in Pittsburgh on nice summer days. Probably was within a year of '56.

I think I bought some on ebay ... " zoom bottle ", amazon has them too ...Mustie probably found a 50 pack for a buck at a yard sale 😁
I caught the van halen t shirt! In memory of Eddie Van halen and a good video! Nice
Thanks for bringing back the memories. So snug in the rear seat of the small rear window beetle.
I lost my faith when VW went watercooled!
Great video! Watch your #3 valve clearance.
Good luck, keep the faith!
What can't boil, can't freeze!!
@PeterWIlson, I used to be that way, until a friend of mine, who is even deeper in AirCooled, got a new beetle from his friend who owns a junkyard ! So based on his new love and his recommendation, I bought an 06 with the 2.5 with manual (Convertible), and I love it. Maybe go try one. It's quirky, but has decent power, and still feels like a vw.
Nah!
My wife has a yellow 2000 1.8 turbo (New) beetle.
It has been fairly reliable and has incredible acceleration and, of course, has heating and airconditioning, but needs premium fuel, synthetic oil, expensive ignition components and has had a whole bunch of quirky problems.
The plastic power window doodads, for example, ageing and breaking, dropping the window into the door.
And the electrics are worse than the problems air-cooled VW's had when there was a 6 v battery under that rear seat.
Old air-cooled Beetles have a distinctive ride because of large wheels and that brilliant torsion bar suspension.
With the split rear window and the small rear window models, riding in the back seats also gave you a snug , secure feeling that you just don't get in modern cars, like being in a cave, hard to describe.
Homenaje to Ferdinand Porsche.
Relíquia esse deixa todo ORIGINAL
6:48 SHE'S ALIVEEEEEEE!!!!!! 💪
👍 , thanks man
Love when they start.
👍
I absolutely 💕❤ the sound of these older VW Beetle's unlike these, UGLY, REPULSIVE!!! new, ones, Whoever designed these new, ones only deserves one thing. A BLOODY GOOD BEATING!!! or a head doctor (shrink). Anyone with any sense wouldn't go anywhere near a new one. I Most certainly would NOT!!! Give me a 1962 or 63 In white & I'd be very happy just with a few mods, on it power steering, disc brakes & a beefed up.1.6 or 1.8 engine 2 LTR possibly 😁 As 1.3 is, rather week in power. Sadly.
you would like my 67 Beetle , 2387 cc , 195hp and disc brakes ....you would need to paint it white :)
@@5150mxVW I probably would like to have it but, due to my disability I am. Not allowed to drive anything above a mobility scooter SADLY!!! Can't discuss the actual reason as to why. But, thanks for making me the kind jesture of it. But, i do hope it goes to a very good home & is looked after wherever that is. 😉
Dump the 009. Vacuum distributors are the way to go.
agreed , putting a 30 pict 1 and 205 dizz in
Sounds like a lawnmower.
Esse fusquinha deve ter um cheiro muito bom por dentro de antigo adoroo.
Hopefully you filled now oil into the engine before attemting to start?
Compression, fuel, and spark, it should run!!!!
yep :)
Wow, is this a near-driveable car in your possession?
Haha, yes , I sold it to a friend for 4500 . He will give it some love 👍
Other house? Oh-Oh! let it not be true. At least you don't have as many cars as you do fans!! Although it seems like you're working on it lol!! Please don't use that in a conversation with Jen. Love the videos. Be safe.
Hi Russell , the other house has the 3 garage / " shop " you see from time to time . Haha ! , thank you , much appreciated , you as well.
@@5150mxVW - my favorite car that you have is the Dodge Charger. Always loved the '68 to '70. '69 being the gem of them all. Thanks for the reply. Always great to hear from you!
I love an oval window bug !
nice. All we have around here are overpriced 50's beetles. i want a super beetle
where is " here " ? . I have a nice 72 SB that might be getting the boot
“Getting the boot? If that means what I think it dies, 5150mxVW! - don’t do that.
Tail light swap,,,,to bad 🇺🇸
Hi Chuck , yeah , it was missing the W decklid too but I had a black W and installed it . I have the correct tail lights too but I might just leave the current ones on it , we shall see ....funny , I just brought home a 69 Baja and it has snowflakes on it haha !

Glad to see another old beetle on your driveway, waiting here in England for the first drive video, keep up the good work

Are you selling that 57 Volkswagen
i was for while locally , no one wanted to spend 4k lol
While, your at it , give your VW bug a bath!
the madman of the black Bug
Do these motor is original??? 🇧🇷🤗 It is 1300 cc top???
Thank you.
Hi , no the motor currently is a B6 , 1600 single port . The original motor would have been the 36 hp . Thank you Luiz
@@5150mxVW Ok, thanks...i love these car, my First car in the life.🇧🇷👏👏👏
That 56 is beautiful and it runs great, why would you want to put that $300 oil burner in it? Is it a numbers matching engine? Is it your car or a customer car? So many questions I know... Thanks!
Hi Trev , did I say swap the motor ? I think I was just excited because I realized the motor under the tarp was a B6 also . No this 57 ( wrong year in title lol ) would have a 36 hp motor in it . This is my car , thank you Trev .
I probably meant swap intakes
Haha ...oh I get it! That’s the kind of car I would love to find and daily drive! Here in Ontario Canada they are rare as they are rusted out! 👍
Er läuft und läuft und läuft und......VW.!
Someone must have changed the taillights over the years because 56 had smaller taillights.
Hi Patrick , yes they were changed , I went over all the incorrect parts in the 1st vid
Some of the original parts should have been left alone.
Nice score that’s the same color that my grandfather is 58 V wagon bug was his head the white stripe down the center of the trunk hood I believe his also had a roof rack on it and I believe he had a 56 same color before that a year before that They also had the roof rack He had two of them but I think he had one and 56 he told me and one in 58 I know we had I forget about if the second one he owned was in 56 or if it was later than 58 because before that he had a 56 Chevy Bel Air that was slightly used in the handles would fall off of it
Dear 5150mxVW & son
👍👌👏 I like that black ol' bug.
2) I always wonder about those 1600ccm engines that are even in very old American VWs. Aren't there any 1200 and 1300 ccm engines like in Europe respectively Germany?
Thanks in advance for answering.
Best regards, luck and health.
Hi CC , thank you , my Mom sat in it today , she likes it too :). A lot of early cars just got the 12 volt treatment , later tail lights and " upgraded" 1500-1600 power plants when the org motors got tired . I don't mind the 1600 in this car because it has so many altered parts . Best Regards , luck and health to you as well CC
Dear @@5150mxVW & son.
You're welcome, it's my pleasure and thanks for replying.
2) Glad your mother likes it too. So your wife is kind of overruled = 3 against one? 😁😂
3) Of course I also don't mind those "enormous power upgrades" to 1500/1600 ccm. With more torque and hp it is definitely easier to climb slopes respektive to drive with a fully loaded bug. I was only wondering if those bigger engines had maybe been standard for export to the USA (thanks to your answer I now know that it was definitely not). Additionally I think that the original "power plants" didn't have to get tired first. In my personal opinion respectively for my kind of taste, they already had been kinda tired since factory! 😁
4) 😱 No heart for my first comment...😭😭😭
😁😋😜👅
Sincerely yours.
This is still a German car, no whisky but only beer, a nice Einbecker. Engine should be a 1.2-liter 30hp, if bigger it is a newer engine. Beetles always start, my old one used to start even at -27°C on the first try! Best regards from Germany.
Ciao boy!
This is love, it's really a pleasure see what you do and how you do it.
Enjoyment, emotion... and fun!
Congratulations from Napoli
She cant run without the sparkowisky wire
haha , nope
That young man is going to impress folks one day when he walks up to someone with a car problem, takes the trailer hitch off of a truck, whacks it, and says "Ok, it's fixed." Well done, sir. Well done.
haha, I used the KX250F rear axle as a punch on the lug nuts , there was a LOT more to it than meets the eye😂.
@@5150mxVW Yes, but the trailer hitch just makes a better story. He'll be tooling around in one of your VW's one day while everyone else is paying thousands of dollars to have their Tesla batteries replaced. :-)
Hi what did you do for a living befor the youtube videos they are great look forward to them thanks
haha, i still work my ass off :)))
Jason, that '56 isn't a bad looking bug, it's got later type tail lights, you got some spare "snowflakes" for it? How is it for rust? Looks like it could come up alright, hanging out for the first drive vid. Stay safe man...
When can I buy car
Mmm, the B code 1600 single ports are my favourite. 1970 only. The 30 Pict3 works very well with the original vacuum distributor as found on your second engine. In fact much better than that 009 in the Oval could ever do...
This guys comments are funny lol
😁
New clutch and pressure plate defo !
Great comgratulations, nice memories👍👍👍👏👏👏
thank you Pedro👍
Hi there fella ! - My Dad like 1'000s of fathers fought bravely during WW2 - My dad fought on mainlaind Europe in a double team - only in touch with mainland Britain by radio - hiding & sleeping during day - Coming out to work at night - Getting drops of supplies by air in middle of woods and forests - only when succesfully collected they would be told the target/s to be destroyed -That would hurt hitlers nazi machine ! - He blew a lot of places of importance up duing his time out there ?
Hi mate got killed & Dad was blown over a tank but was saved by french & sent home
Patched up - Dad went back with the guys on DDay !
After the war Dad signed up with the control commision - It was to make ammends for all the damaged he had caused to the french inferstructure and to help rebuild as he thought !
But ended up driving the top brass about to meeting and stuff instead - eventually He ended up with his own VW Beetle -
Dad would always tell us about that little car - He was one of the first Englishmen to race it down the German Autobahns -
The air cooled flat four enginge was perfect working in extremes from the Hot desserts of Africa to the Cold climates of norway finland etc - The engine would still start first time-Perfect for military vehicles ! - Kublewagen & such
This small car still had its teething problems though with cut backs on materials - and theives!
One was lollipopin' Were driving along and going to change gear and the gear stick would come off in your hand - And when you hold the stick up - It looks like the lollipop ! -
Tyres would be a prime target for stealing - Dad woke up a couple of times tyres was gone another time the whole wheels were gone - But Dad was always shouting how good it was !
Dad on hisvtime off - would drive to holland & france with supplies and things to help the families
Pourquoi ça demanderait pas ? Ce moteur à servi à motorisée tout un tas de machine voiture avion pompe faucheuse bateau sous tous les climats alors .... le temps même pas peur. Et en trouver un autre facile.Facile à démonter que du bon.
oui, un excellent moteur
@@5150mxVW il était très robuste et quand on sait le soigner la voiture était pourrie de rouille et le moteur repartait pour une autre vie.
If you don´t plug the coil...........................
......good things won't happen :)
What a beautiful bug you got there! Thanks for sharing!
thank you
😂😂😂😂 You forgot to connect the wire of the bobine and the tubes of the pump of fuel!!!😅😅😅 Never run before that. But it is a great find 👏👏👏
like it had a 62 beetle back in 1976 !
👍
Good German quality could be also in a 356 Porsche with another carburetors !
Wish I could’ve seen my parents’ ‘68 sun bug, banana yellow w/ soft top. Thing got ripped off on the streets of Brooklyn the year after my dad purchased it! He told me that 911 emergency had just been launched here in New York, and he didn’t know if grand theft qualified as one.
Are you able to make a video on how to bench start a motor ? 🤙🏽
It’s perfect
My dream car
What a wonderful find!! Great on you guys to breathe new life into it!
thank you , great find for sure , no mice too , I can't believe that !
Hey!!
By us in Germany they will pay al lot for a Beetle that looks like that.
I guess you living in a dryer country.
In the last years they reimported old german cars from the US. The most cars here died by rain and salt.
An older man had this car with the same black color, in absolute mint condition when I was growing up in the 70s. He used to drive it on Beechwood blvd in Pittsburgh on nice summer days. Probably was within a year of '56.
10:00 I have a pile of those foam floor mats and 5 unopened packages. You want a warm floor to walk, kneel and lay down on this winter? It will give me a nice foliage ride to deliver them! Text me, I lost your number when I switched phones.
Thanks for the great video Jay and that thing runs good to so that means your out doors after all good stuff so take care cant wait for the next one ...Thanks
thank you Rusty , I dropped the two from this week off at my garage ( out of sight :) ) .....you too
You must be friends with mustie1
Yes I am
