      ThatDudeinBlue I totally agree about everyone owning atleast one old car, for instance Im 18 and just recently bought a 68 mustang and I love it

      Love these things. Another cool car to review if you could find one would be a Crosley Hotshot.

      WavyAbe when i was 16 i dailyed my 64 ford fairlane and worked 40hrs a week to fix it 24/7. haha

  • @Lugo_Media
    @Lugo_Media 7 років тому +77

    did anyone notice that beetle at 3:16? lol

    • @morganmccullough2090
      @morganmccullough2090 7 років тому

      Is it a '64?

    • @Lugo_Media
      @Lugo_Media 7 років тому

      not sure, i don't really know about classics

    • @90sgarage29
      @90sgarage29 7 років тому

      That beetle that drove by is a 66', you can tell by the turn signals...since it has the same headlights and taillights as the 66' and below beetles. The 64' is considered the best year by many VW enthusiasts. The only reason a 67' is a good year, is because it was a one year car, the only year they had that style, so the rarity makes it good, besides that it's nothing special. That may just be my opinion since I own a 64', but I'd rather have a link pin VW over ball joint any day.

    • @90sgarage29
      @90sgarage29 7 років тому

      Juice Box God I said the 64' is considered best by many enthusiasts, not by everyone. Also, it only costs a few bucks to convert a 6v Beetle to 12v... I've done it many times. Don't say I don't know what I'm talking about, you thought the beetle in the video was a 68+...it's definitely not.
      I guess it's to each their own though, different people prefer different years of the beetle. Like me, I'd rather have the small window of the 64' than the later models. I also prefer link pin over ball joint, but that's just what I like.

    • @90sgarage29
      @90sgarage29 7 років тому +1

      Not trying to start shit... since us VW people are usually pretty friendly. I too love the 67', but I'd rather have an older year.

    @Luckyjo21 7 років тому +37

    Air rides on old cars look so much better

  • @SuperLabonte43
    @SuperLabonte43 7 років тому +2

    Both of my vehicles are more than twice as old as I am. They're typically not as reliable, but you can actually work on them yourself, which is a huge advantage to me. And there's nothing like driving an old car, you get that real mechanical connection. Btw, I'm 17 with a 1980 300d benz and a 1970 GMC k15 that I'm restoring.

  • @stephencain3467

    Awesome love how you still review the little guys. I live around LA and you see a those and old datsuns around alot. That car captures the Los Angeles spirit. I drive a 1966 mustang and it gets attention pretty well.

    @michaelwallen6805 7 років тому

    this car reminds me of a 78 Toyota pickup I had. it was so rotted out there was no floor the door skins would flap in the wind and the frame was rotted out. sat in a field for a long time. I put an exhaust stack with a tractor flap on it. it was so loud but so slow. the manual said the 20r put 90 hp. it was so fun to drive. my plan was to make a frame for it and bag it but had to sell it.. this car reminds me so much of it
