Psychic Garage - Episode 8 - Another Beetle Revival!!

Eric and Ryan have the opportunity to fire up a 1969 VW Beetle that has not run in over 25 years! The plates expired in 1990 and overall the bug is in great shape and was carefully stored all of those years safely in a garage. Lisa is the happy owner of this bug, her grandfather gave it to her a long time ago. She has been waiting many years to hear it run and for a chance to drive it! Did we just install a battery and pour gas in the tank? Did we have to fix anything? Watch and find out!!!

Am I the only one who gets super satisfied watching 20years of dirt get washed off?

[@ParklandFilms]

Ha ha, ya for sure, to boot, the paint was excellent and has a good shine to it.

[@elliepascoe5954]

Nothing makes u smile like a Beetle does. That sound! 😁🇳🇱

[@ParklandFilms]

Yes!!! I can hear that sound from miles away too, so distinct.

After seeing your Alaska videos I knew you could do it!
My first 3 cars were VW's.. 61(white), 67(Red), 73 (blue).
Put about 12k on the 67 ,the summer of 68,travelling the U.S. mountain switchbacks to the Arizona deserts and it never failed me.
They both look so happy, you both did well:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector

[@ParklandFilms]

Right on, I bet you have a ton of stories about those beetles!

[@tammyr2966]

I saw ParklandFilms on my RUclips feed and was so excited to see another episode. It was great to watch and made me smile from ear to ear. On a side note, my husband and I watched Into the Wild. I had previously seen your amazing series Going North and was hooked from the beginning. We watched the film then I re-watched your series and my husband for the first time over the course of two nights. He was hooked too. I just wanted you to know we both thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

[@ParklandFilms]

Alison, thanks so much, I'm glad to hear how you both enjoyed Going North! Too bad Covid happened, it put a hamper on last summer or we would have done another trip, hopefully next summer...

[@roliepoliecolie2200]

Lovely car indeed.😎

[@ParklandFilms]

It runs and drives great, have to get one myself sometime haha

[@mimzyriepensell1423]

Love to see another Bug hit the road...so much nostalgia in seeing them, Great Job!!

[@ParklandFilms]

Yes, it brought me back to when I was a kid and they were everywhere.

[@cindykeller9668]

It’s always exciting to see old one back on the road!!

[@ParklandFilms]

Yep, it was a good feeling to see it driving around!

[@zimms-world]

Cool video...it’s great to see another bug back on the road

[@ParklandFilms]

[@tammyr2966]

Wow! An awesome job guys getting it going!

[@karenmilligan5597]

Yay Lisa, she rides again.
💜🚗💚

[@chadtrachuk2884]

Thanks so much for your help, guys!

[@ParklandFilms]

No problem and thanks to you and Lisa for letting us work on it, we really enjoy fixing them and hearing those flat fours purr!

[@tammyr2966]

That makes me want a baby blue bug! Honestly though I’d rather have an old VW Bus for camping!

[@briancallanglancy8032]

[@sandrasinclair01]

[@ParklandFilms]

Ha ha, yeah, anyone that has worked on an old engine can say they have done it at least once!
