it's been about 30 years but I used to love to drive my VW on the road along the Delaware from New Hope to Easton, especially in the spring, the air smelled so fresh and green, just lovely or the drive from East Berlin to Hanover back in the 60s when you'd pass maybe 5 cars on a Saturday morning
I had a '68 bug in the early 70's. Haven't driven one since then. This brought back a lot of memories - especially the unique sound of the engine as you go through the gears.
Back in the late 1970's I had several of these. You could get 'em for like $250 in various states of disrepair and rust. I could pull the engine myself in 20 minutes. Fixed a lot of rusty quarter panels with galvanized sheetmetal ductwork, roofing cement, and pop rivets. My stereo system consisted of two Jensen 6x9 triaxials in a custom enclosure behind the rear seat, two more 6x9's in the front doors, two Craig power amps, 2 6v-to-12v voltage converters, and an underdash Pioneer supertuner cassette deck. Great times.
The Splits and Ovals are nice, but my favorites are the 1958s through 68s. When I was a kid we had a used 60 with sunroof, a new 67, and later a used 67.
I really like it a lot. I think its the best of everything that year. The 6 volt doesnt bother me and everything works fine. Only downside is the lights are definitely dim, but here in PA I'm not supposed to drive it at night anyway since it has antique tags.
Best VW Bug video I’ve seen. I’ve been looking for one that’s being driven so I could hear it. I love the sound of an old VW. One of my most favorite cars from my childhood. Thanks so much for making this! ❤
I used to have the same car during my college years. White, with a red interior. There is a lot to say how much fun it was to drive in the fall back in NJ circa 1978. I wish O could find one now.
Cool share. The motor sound is spot on. Appreciate the farmers lane run down to the church. Didn't see the cemetary but could imagin the wrecks at that intersection.
Watching these videos really makes me want to save my father's 1302L. It has been sitting in a shop for years, its fate still undecided. It could be my first car. Problem is time, money, and finding a place to protect it from the elements and ill-minded passers-by.
@@LONGDRIVES It's complete. It has some rust on the underside, such as on the frame rail. Not sure if the engine runs. From the outside it looks alright, apart from a small bump. Probably needs a respray though.
Take it from me, dont restore it. The bug in this video sat for 30+ years. Channels are rusty. But i went thru the brakes, new battery and new points l, got it running good and just had fun. Get em running and enjoy,.worry about paint later
@@LONGDRIVES Thanks for the advice. Paint is definitely the last bit to worry about, probably won't have an extra 2k laying around anyway haha. Hopefully I manage to get it on the road in a year or two.
Yeah man start with getting it to run, move down to brakes and other things. When you get it to fire up your motivation goes way up. Check spark, fuel, air and see what happens.
Awesome, good luck with your search. If it's your first one, be sure to let it run and drive for awhile before buying. Even the worst engines will usually run a little before showing symptoms of vaccuum leaks and poor tuning. I got burned like this in my younger days. Hope you find a good one!
Yes sir, thanks! I rescued it just last May from behind the local aircooled mechanic that retired. It was his wife's car, he parked it in 87. It's pretty ragged on the outside, but the pigalle interior aged well.
As a boy many, many years ago I was dreaming of the most expensive, luxurious, advanced cars available and would probably not be able to sleep had I known how advanced, fast and so on they would be by now. But now that I'm a little bit (read: MUCH) older - although not particularly rich in terms of money - this is more like the type of car I dream of :)
thank you! I know the feeling. I bought this one abandoned behind a shop for a good price but had to go over everything. it was the only way i could afford one.
Should not be driving at that speed in 3 rd gear ,should be in 4th rpm for that engine is to high at that speed. Your over heating it that way. Great Video and super nice bug👍❤
Been driving it that way for three years, dipstick temp is always within the range it's supposed to be because it's tuned correctly. I'm driving it to have fun not to commute to work.
this video was awesome, me as an Austrian am proud to have some Porsche machines on the channel HOWEVER: you need to drive that KÄFER faster with higher revs. The air cooled engine is used to be driven uphill on the mountain roads fast. (or as fast as possible). Slow driving will make it overheat.
@Mouse Fitzgerald Because I've tuned it correctly it runs cool as a cucumber. The dipstick was barely warm that day and any other day I've run it hard.
Not true. Cooling air is forced thru heads by fan. Speed does not matter. Imagine all beetles driving the cities in south america. Are they all overheated?
@@LONGDRIVES actually i told that same friend when we were in his tuck driving on a long down hill grade. i could smell his breaks and i told him if tou dont downshift back to 4th or 3rd you wont have any breaks because they will be too hot to stop. My last word was “downshift” thats what it is for. fyi. i learned to properly drive a stick by a british guy and he showed me to downshift.
Interesting video. Takes me back to my days driving a Beetle. But here in Australia the dashboard is the other way around - we are right hand drive. One thing I noticed is that you hardly used top gear at all. Why? What was your average speed?
In the hilly terrain he is in a Beetle will run hotter in 4th gear. Not terribly so, but with the hills and such you would also have to do a lot of downshifting which is extra wear on the clutch and transmission. Surprisingly the fuel mileage doesn't change that much. My college room mate had a '66 and the terrain was identical.
@@LONGDRIVES Enjoy it while you can. I'd love to have an old Beetle but I can't really give it the attention it would need, I'm too old. Never owned a Beetle, but had a 66 camper, a 71 bus, and an 84 Vanagon. VW sure isn't what they used to be.
I love the video and the vehicle. But if you adjust the valves it will sound much better (as if the car had left the factory in 66) because they’re somewhat loose and therefore ticking a little bit.
I had about 10 bugs over the years now I drive a 72 Super Beetle convertible my first one was a 61 and I had a brand new 1974 Super Beetle it was $3,000 brand new back in 1974 why did they stop making a good thing
Thanks for the heads up, that is just the generator light. It's always been that way at idle, even after changing the brushes. It charges fine so I leave it alone and haven't had anything happen
@@LONGDRIVES i had a 1500 in my 1967 bug. 1500 has a slightly larger bore so pistons and cylinders are different, everything else is the same including the 30pict-1 solex carburetor.
I am just above you in Northampton. I go to the Central Jersey group once and awhile, that is the only active club i know of. If you are around my area hit me up, instagram coreydouglas1. I don't have FB.
@@Messergebnis-liebhaber Very good. It's just as good as my 1600. There is a pretty good hill I can keep it in 4th and stay at 55mph. It might feel slow if you are at a dead stop at the bottom and have to climb but other than that it's very driveable.
From my VW days, I remember the 1200s were 40 HP. Not sure about the 1300. I had three of these over my lifetime, and did a stint at a VW dealer for a few years. I think my favourite was a '67 1500 deluxe. It still had the old style bumpers, but it was 12 volt and had the newer headlights.
on a big budget with this car. I rebuilt all the drums and it stops great, but eventually would love to do a dual master and disc brakes up front when money allows.
beetle drum brakes actually work quite well as long as they are properly adjusted. there are no automatic adjusters so once a month if it's a daily driver you have to jack up each wheel individually and adjust each brake shoe, 2 adjusters per wheel, 8 adjustments total. keep in mind it's a very lightweight car.
Big steering-wheel for such a small car...all those who complained of 'big' steering-wheel in a Mercedes-Benz W123/126 etc. don't seem to say the same in a VW ?!?
bugs are fun because when you drive one, you feel like you are going much faster than you actually are. this is especially true when driving one of the convertibles.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. so beware of expensive cars today they will be forbidden and worthless tomorrow!!
Shame you had to rev it to death , I remember them to be fairly torquey , it hardly ever went into 4th.....maybe you are used to automatics . Nice car though
it's an air-cooled engine so if you lug it, it runs hot due to the heavy load and the cooling fan not spinning fast enough. low octane gas makes it even worse...
