A buddy had a '69 he inherited from his dad. Gotta watch you don't rest your knee against the shifter I remember. I worked for a VW dealer for a few years but I forget.... was this what they called the Saxomat?

Fun fact the car with the light up tires those were originally available for a very very short time to the public back in the 60s but they're prone to getting hard and cracking and it never really caught on😊

Nice cab Eddy. Happy new year 🎉 and best wishes.

that is a true daily driver

Super rad ! Love to see older VW rolling around. Thx -

I have a RHD CKD 51 Split from South Africa.

I don’t understand the air cooled world anymore. All kinds of money on engine,transmission,wheels,brakes but modern sport seats and belts never.

Hey Eddy ! you pulled it off !

Hi Eddy, I had a very similar extractor to remove wide five drums - they are worth every penny 👍👍 I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and all the best for the coming year. Keep up with 'Collins TV' 😁

Were you able smack the shoes throught the wheel bolt holes before using the the puller tool? Also tip for the hub nuts, they can be replaced with t2 locking nuts.

YUP disc brakes, Remove and reseal engine after hearing it run, Reseal trans or rebuild......by Ventura and freeway fly it...if you have them rebuild the trans have Ventura show you how to put on 1 piece axle boots. They last a lot longer....Rear new shoes and axle seals....By the way Empi axle boots seem to be holding up longer than the german Febi ones. My last 2 sets did not last even 2 years. Empi ones have been on there 2 years now and no issues.

Bus is in good hands 👍🏼👍🏼

Eddy you have family in Guatemala?! Same here bud! We primos!

Great interview Eddy, and a great car !

can you put a type3 full auto into a type1?

Ron Fleming is a Legend in the VW scene! Thanks for doing this video!

What was the E67 mirror (rear view) ? How do you feel about adding the two windows and deluxe molding trim to make this a deluxe ?

He didn’t clip the oil filler back on! 😜

dude you should do a will it run video on this. Might go VIRAL.... film the process. Check battery, Key, sprark. fuel. all that....They do really well on UA-cam.

they should have your upholstery guy do the seats similar to the original or have you pull some new OG covers and coconut foam over the springs.

One of the things many people did back in the day is put those big mirrors on the busses.

Can you do a video on all the repairs you do? That would be cool!

Nice Type 2. With a little TLC this will turn into a real gem 👍👍🎇 Thx for the video Eddy

This was my 1st car, right down to the color. :)

there are so many fakes out there. but those have bigger wheels and roll better than the fakes.

I am a bug fanatic!

Nice to see a positive take on the autostick. I have a trike with an autostick, a Fastback with the full automatic, and a 1964 Bug with a Saxomat (precursor to the autostick with a centrifugal clutch instead of a torque converter). I've got a couple videos on my channel about the Fastback and older videos of the Saxomat. I picked up a '59 Bug that I plan on swapping in another Saxomat and hope to do some more in depth videos on it.

Cool show and cause. Can’t wait to see that wrought iron bug feature!

This community really is awesome! You did a great job, thank you for that 👍👍 the orange thing just blew me away 🎇

Man that Sbq has the perfect fade, Ihave a 62 Bug in Gulf Blue with the same patina. Well done

Hey Eddy ! there is no way I would lower Rambus , down here in Corpus Christi I have framed out in a chuck hole before and If didn't have a floor jack with me OH NO !

Damm this looks like it was fun and for a good cause. Keep the videos coming Eddy.

How fun!

Oh man. Looks like I missed a cool get together.

Great video and car. Love the paint. candy tangerine? What is the maker of the paint.

That's what makes the VW Scene so interpersonal and adorable. A nice dude, a nice car, a lot of nice x-mas spirit and another nice video. Thx Eddy👍👍

Love this!

Fantastic!!! Love the Christmas spirit. Thx Eddie- keep'em coming

Always dandy with whitewalls.

Can you change the shifter to another one like the empi???

Good afternoon, could someone please tell me where he bought the hella headlight rim shown in the video?

Would love to have an engine like this in my 78 super beetle. Grape performance but kind of loud.

Gutes Video Grüsse aus Deutschland ❤

cool Video Eddy

The best car for me was the Empi Double Cab!

Thank you very much Mr. Rick Johnson, for sharing your beautiful car. And of course, thanks to you too Mr. Eddy Collins. What surprised me the most about this car is that during the drive, my hearing noted that it didn't sound like the Beetles that we all know and have been familiar with. An interesting observation, years back I was told by a Volkswagen restorer that the beetles from the 1950s were a much more solid car and had a better build than what would come in the 1960s. Based on my hearing (again) I'd have to say that he was right. I'm not hearing even the slightest rattle in this car. Amazing! I find myself wondering which engine this car has. Would it be an 1100 cc?

Thanks so much Eddy!! Loved that 914 !! Glad you had fun!🎉

Hi Eddy, Thank you for taking us to this years' SEMA. What an amazing show and so many cool cars. 👍👍 BTW: The black Porsche 911 Targa Hybrid with the color stripes follows the design scheme of Mr. Rainer Buchmann ("bb" Tuning) who has been a very famous Porsche tuner in the 70's in Germany. As far as I know Mr. Buchmann has re-issued some of his Porsche design ideas and this 911 is one of them. Thank you again for this video.

Looks like an amazing time. Thx for taking us along.

Absolutely beautiful!!! I had a 1960, IN 1960. (I was 16 years old). I miss that little bug.
