Looks exactly the same as my neighbours car back on the low 1980’s. Tried to buy it as he was over 80 but he wouldn’t. So I bought a 1959 model. Awesome car, but had to sell it as had a kid and no seatbelts.
I had a 68 1500 12volt for 13 years. To this day I rate it as the best all round, rugged, and most reliable car I have owned. I deeply regret selling it.
I, too, bought my first car when I was 18. It was when I had just turned 18 and got my driver's licence. It was a model 1967 (like this one?). Anyway, it had the flat hub caps and slanted headlights (the vertical headlights were introduced on the model 1968, as were the flat bumpers). I bought the car for money earned as a farm hand, and I was sooooooo proud. :-):-). The color of mine was Lotusweiß. I, myself, am a model 1950, and the remaining growth on my head is about the same color as that which I see on your avatar. :-)
Beautiful old car. It pretty much just needed a good wash and polish as it was stored in a nice barn and was in great condition to start with. I love it 😊
I don’t think so, the barn is dusty, not damp. The paint has blemishes consistent with that sort of storage. Obviously the car was in good condition when it was stored. A car in that condition would more than likely have body seals in good condition beetles are reasonably air tight hence lack of dust in the interior. A good find and happy to see it cleaned up and hopefully back on the road soon.
Probably the nicest barn find anybody has ever seen. Not a mouse turd in sight, seatcovers protected the original upholstery, floor clean. Unbelievable. Hope the engine is in the same shape.
@@surlycrosscheck1 ... I have personally found cars sitting for a decade or more and other than dirt, they were fairly pristine. Where the dry rot issues show up is in a year or so after people use it, and things get shaken up. Of course, those old seats are not filled with foam rubber, they are horsehair. Tires are another story. They will hold air and roll long after they are not safe to drive on. Anyway, on a few of the cars I had to deal with (newer than this) the seats went to dust about a year later, after being exposed to daily use and sunshine.
@@surlycrosscheck1 ... I thought the covers were fake fur / wool (cheap fleece material) which would have been fairly common 30 years ago. It holds up well, but the elastic would be toast by now.
Thank you for sharing. I used to work on 1300-1800 cc V Dub engines. Rebuilt one down to the crankshaft and out. It took me two months and some new tools but afterward, it screamed. This is a beaut. With new oil and gas, filters, plugs, and a valve adjustment, I can hear her purr right now.
Absolutely gorgeous! The way that thing cleaned up is a testament to the quality of the factory paint and everything else. That car looks like it’s a year old.
Unfortunately, they don't make 'em like that any more. That,s what I think we should be making now instead of all these electric pieces of crap. I owned a couple of those old "Bugs" back in the day. They were "bullet proof"!
It's an absolute dream of a barn find!! All original complete cleaned up very nicely, and them Swedish accessories are the cherry on this Kaefer. Super cool, don't change a thing on it.😍😍😛
A truly remarkable find. Great on the cosmetics, but I was disappointed not to see a mechanical overhaul done. Is there more to come, hopefully? I’d love to see it being driven under its own power, an even more impressive conclusion…
Brings back great memories. My first car was a 1960 beetle that I bought in 1973 Was alot of fun to drive, but the heater wasn't worth a crap😅!! Would love to have another one.
Some of those older Bugs came with gas heaters!...They were banned in the USA...But my wife's grandma owned a 1960 Corvair, that had a gas heater...It was just awesome!
Well done!!! I owned a '66 years ago that I brought back to life, but nothing like this grand old lady! I found mine in an elderly persons front yard and they only wanted 250 USD for her, couldn't let that pass now could I ? Spent many pleasant hours on her, wish I still owned her. Be well and safe peace to you and yours
WOW! What a transformation. Had a 57 bug. Bombed around the country going to rock concerts. This was back in 71. Went from California to Louisiana for a big concert. "Celebration of Life". Billed as a Woodstock II. Destination sucked getting there was fun. Loved my old bug, so many memories.
My first car was a red 1963 1300 VW Beetle and this brought it back to life for me. I would have loved to have heard that motor again, it looked like it would have started right up too.
Wow, what a beauty. I believe this is a 1966. I had a 1965, my first new car, that was 1965 and I paid $1,645 dollars for it. The final price with radio and "leatherette seats" was $1,850 us dollars. I was in the US Navy, stationed at Charlestown, SC. I'm not 79.
This car brought back some memories. I had a 1966 VW Beetle 1300 that I drove to Guadalajara, Mexico when I went to school there in 1971. After driving it there for few years it was stolen from in front of the house I was living at the time to never be seen again. When I bought it a VW independent mechanic check out the engine and put in slightly larger pistons. It was in effect larger than the normal 1300 and would really move being so light weight. Great fun car to drive.
Back in the day, putting slightly larger pistons in was common...and also adding an aftermarket exhaust/header, made a decent difference...just doing those two things could give you an extra 5-10hp---making a Bug a more fun car to drive. I did that to my 1962 Ghia...it really made that little car feel sporty! Some guys would go nuts, and install more powerful engines...but then the mpg would drop.
I think she is 1961. Exactly the same VW was given to me by my mother. This brought all the good memories back to me; I am now 80 years old. Bijan, London
Wonderful. I remember my dad had a '65 all red, identical to yours! I love this car. Here in Brazil it is increasingly expensive to acquire a prototype of this era, whether as a body or running, preserved or not.
This car is a once in a lifetime barn score. The condition is superb and a wonderful ride that is stock!!! Why is there no running clips? I have been a vw tinkerer for 45 years and I really would have been excited to see it run 😞
Our family had a beetle like this when I was a child. I remember the sound of the seats when they would clunk back into place. What a lucky find. It looks as though it's been repainted. The fender seals would have been black and not body colored.
The barn that protected the Beetle all those years was kept in good repair by the owner of both. One more vintage car that'll see the road again soon enough.
One of the first cars I drove was a 1966 Beetle, same savannah beige color too. Difference was it was American so it had bumper overriders and a dent behind the drivers door.
The most Beautiful car " Beetle " reminds of mine 1962 which i owned from 65 - 78 and have very good memories & dream about it now and then . If given a chance would still love to own . The best ever Car producerd by Germany . Best of luck 👍
Que carrinho bonitinho!!!! Tive um desses ano 67, exatamente nessa cor!! Foi meu primeiro carro, muitas recordações da juventude!!! grato por compartilhar essa pequena maravilha!! Abraços do Brasil!!! 😃👏👏👏💖
We had a 1956 Beetle it must have been top of the range, it had valve radio & petrol gauge ,trafficaters, 6 volt & 26inch wheels. Registration number SAD 587
Olá, eu sou apaixonado por FUSCA e, que maravilha de vídeo, e com este polimento que você fez neste carro incrível. Parabéns e obrigado por nos mostra este lindo carro. 🇧🇷🙋♂️🚗
Sehr gute Arbeit. Der zuvor stark verschmutzte Lack konnte offensichtlich gerettet werden. So muss es sein. Und der Chrom konnte auch gerettet werden. Hut ab für diese vorbildliche Aktion. Das hat mir sehr gefallen.😊😗
I bought a '67 VW Beetle 1300 a few years ago. The car is in amazing, original condition. I'm only removing a few "embellishments" from the previous owners to restore it to the condition it was in when it was delivered. Great video 😊👍
Fantastikt trevligt video, och ett bra jobb av dig. Som förvaltar ett stycke kulturhistoria både med denna bil och tidigare Saab å Volvo bilar:) Hade varit kul å få se den live. Ha en fortsatt fin sommar.
No.... Dirt runs off easier on a cleaner surface and if you start from the top you would rinse the chemichals away making it harder for the dirt to loosen up! You should always start from the bottom when rinsing/shooting away chemichals! When you rinse away the "handwash soap" its ok to start at the top.
i always wanted an old VW like that (1963 is my favorite year for those) , i just never got serious about finding and buying one , i love the old VW vans too , wonderful vehicles!
That's an amazing barn find of a 1966 Seasand beetle with Platinum Mosaic interior in mint condition...not many left in the world looking like that....thanks for sharing it! I hope you can preserve it without modifications...
This was such a special find, Ultra-rare I should say. Can't believe the condition of the seats. Amazing!! Would have been great to play some WWII Wagner in the background as part of the Epic discovery. I think the kid didn't realize what an Epic find That is!!!
One of the nice colors of the classic VW "Beetle Bug". For me, I would have taken off the license plates and, in spraying down the car with the soap solution as well as the rinsing, I'd spray in the wheel wells openings and, behind the openings of the bumpers. One thing for sure...the car looks good for a 1960's style model! I had a '69 dark green "Beetle" with the roll-back sun roof. That was a fun car! My father had a new black color "Beetle Bug" for a few years. In the summer of 1970, Dad and Mom bought a VW "Fastback" light blue model. That car went to me in late '74 and I had it till the summer of '76. (Had to sell it for "extra cash" after getting married; that was a sad day to sell "Heidi" as I called her) The Volkswagen early cars has always had my heart! I like to see these restoration projects and seeing folks still proudly showing them.
Ahhhhh...the 1300 . 1966, one year-only import here in the US. Transitional model to larger engine/s and bigger glass, just before (3yr?) McPherson struts and double joined rear axles. Was my first daily driver, from family car to gymkhanas and road rallies. Wunderbar!
What an absolutely stunning and beautiful car. I'd rather have this electrified and simple with no driver assist electronics. Than a modern car. Perfect urban runabout. ❤
Also had a 1966 VW. It was the same color but never looked as great as this one. Can you share the name of the products you used? This was a great video so keep them coming!!
Would have liked to have seen the shape the engine was in and how it and the electrical were working. Seems to be in pretty good shape for a "barn find".
کیا بات ہے زبردست دوست 👏👏👏۔ اتنی بہترین حالت میں یہ گاڑی آپکو مل گئی بہت خوش نصیبی کی بات ہے۔ میری پسندیدہ ترین گاڑی اگر کوئی ہے تو وہ یہی والکس ویگن بیٹل ہے۔ زندہ باد میرے دوست 🙌❤🇵🇰
My first beetle was bought new by my dad in 1968. he put 100 k miles on it, then my younger brother wore out the tires and the clutch at the same time and just walked away from it. I came along needing a cheap car so they said if you can get it running you can have it. After a new clutch and tires it was buffed up much like in this video--I did it all by hand. I drove it for ten years, eventually sold it for 1000 bucks.
I don't know it's staged, but I know that isn't an 'original' car. There are lots of inconsistencies in the age of components fitted to the vehicle and IMHO that's unusual for a barn find.
May I ask two question , 1) What soap are you using in the gun. I have wanted to change the one i am currently using , which I purchased through the detailer that ceramic coated both my Audi's I find no matter the consistency it does not have that good hang time as yours does . 2) The spray you used just prior to the soap , did it have a reactionary chemical to iron ? I have used something similar on my rims and it changes purple reacting to the brake dust . I'm curious the manufacturer of that spray and whether or not it does the same thing as what I was using ? Beautiful VW , I had a 1964 , 1776 California Bug that I returned to it's original design and loved it ... Cheers ..
Jóia rara de se ver.....é só preservar , se tivesse um desses guardaria dentro de casa na sala de visitas.......hehehehehe devo muito á esse carrinho pois aprendi a dirigir e tirei minha carteira de habilitação com um Beetle igualzinho á esse !!
Sie sprechen mir aus der Seele. Der Käfer hat mich nie nie nie im Stich gelassen egal zu welcher Jahreszeit . Ein wirklich gut erhaltenes Stück der oder die Vorbesitzer haben es gut gepflegt 👍💯🧐
Amazing, my first car, when I was 18 years old , was exactly the same, I honestly loved it.
Now I am already 74, great memories!!!
Same here!

VW Beatle was burnt orange and looked like a pumpkin.
Beautiful find and excellent cleanup, a real beauty! Had '60 and '71 sedans, '60 and '74 vans. Still love them.
Beautiful old car. It pretty much just needed a good wash and polish as it was stored in a nice barn and was in great condition to start with. I love it 😊
Barns aren't dry. Barns have rodents. Hmmm
This wassn't a resto... it was a cleanup. The car was in pristine condition to start with.
I don’t think so, the barn is dusty, not damp. The paint has blemishes consistent with that sort of storage. Obviously the car was in good condition when it was stored. A car in that condition would more than likely have body seals in good condition beetles are reasonably air tight hence lack of dust in the interior.

What a rare find...
Looked good after the wash.
Stunning after the polish.
Interior was immaculate, obviously the vehicle was cared for.
That interior is a dead giveaway that this car is NOT a barn find. The whole thing was staged.
Probably the nicest barn find anybody has ever seen. Not a mouse turd in sight, seatcovers protected the original upholstery, floor clean. Unbelievable. Hope the engine is in the same shape.

Never seen a car in that era so clean in my life especially the interior absolutely incredible

It’s almost like it has been staged. Interior is immaculate with seat covers but no cover on the car? Odd.

My thoughts exactly. Four excellent tires and a clean motor with no spiderwebs anywhere.
This is absolutely faked.

There's some very lucky person out there's going to be driving that incredible barnfind. What a find I'm gobsmacked.
You did a very nice refurbishing on that barn find. Looks great and should be a pleasure to drive that as well... Thumbs Up!

Als ehemaliger Autolackierer Meister kann ich nur Sagen , Respekt vor dieser Arbeit und Auffrischung des alten VW 👍👍👍
It’s absolutely beautiful. I was expecting a respray job, but this is so much better.
I had a 1966 VW in 1971 and it had the 1300 on the back just like this one. I loved that car!
Looks like my first car! I loved that car and wish I had another one. Crazy what a little love and attention can do. Great job!
I had that exact year ('66) Beetle. It's readily identifiable by certain features. I wonder about the mechanicals and how many miles/km are on it
WOW! What a transformation. Had a 57 bug. Bombed around the country going to rock concerts. This was back in 71. Went from California to Louisiana for a big concert. "Celebration of Life". Billed as a Woodstock II. Destination sucked getting there was fun. Loved my old bug, so many memories.

Probably the nicest barn find ever.
If you find one of these in the states there usually isn’t much remaining to work with.
She cleaned up nicely. Not sure why you wouldn't take off the license plates and make it easier....Hope she's running and back on the road soon!
Hey great job!! It came up pretty well for a barn find !
My first car was a beetle,a orange one ,my second was a yellow convertible.I don’t have either of them now but I can’t stop loving them❤️💕❤️Chrissy

Show...tá espetacular ...qual ano de fabricação ?
Wow, what a transformation what product did you use to clean it up and polish the exterior and interior?.
Beautifully done. Looks brand new again
The barn that protected the Beetle all those years was kept in good repair by the owner of both. One more vintage car that'll see the road again soon enough.

In the summer of 1970, Dad and Mom bought a VW "Fastback" light blue model. That car went to me in late '74 and I had it till the summer of '76. (Had to sell it for "extra cash" after getting married; that was a sad day to sell "Heidi" as I called her)
The Volkswagen early cars has always had my heart! I like to see these restoration projects and seeing folks still proudly showing them.
Ahhhhh...the 1300 . 1966, one year-only import here in the US. Transitional model to larger engine/s and bigger glass, just before (3yr?) McPherson struts and double joined rear axles. Was my first daily driver, from family car to gymkhanas and road rallies.
Wunderbar!
Congratulations, what a great find. This Beetle is in an excellent condition.
No mice/rat damage? Hard to believe, after sitting for 25 years.
@@curbozerboomer1773you probably don’t know much about the Swedish climate.
What an absolutely stunning and beautiful car. I'd rather have this electrified and simple with no driver assist electronics. Than a modern car. Perfect urban runabout. ❤
Electrified????? Please no 😮😢
VW Bugs are just so darn cute, cuddly, & adorable
That's a huge transformation! The chicken shit remover alone made a huge difference. Very satisfying video to watch.
Nice job, great car, it would have been good to know the brand and grade of polishes and other fluids you used, so we could all learn.
I used www.gordetmedrw.se products for the wash and rupes products for the polishing.
Also had a 1966 VW. It was the same color but never looked as great as this one. Can you share the name of the products you used? This was a great video so keep them coming!!
i love old Beetles and this one cleaned up nice and the inside looks great .
I have always loved the Beetle as well.
Members of my family had one. So I have been in it as well.
Amo restauração!
Parabéns!
" nada se perde, tudo se aproveita."
Would have liked to have seen the shape the engine was in and how it and the electrical were working. Seems to be in pretty good shape for a "barn find".
کیا بات ہے زبردست دوست 👏👏👏۔
اتنی بہترین حالت میں یہ گاڑی آپکو مل گئی بہت خوش نصیبی کی بات ہے۔ میری پسندیدہ ترین گاڑی اگر کوئی ہے تو وہ یہی والکس ویگن بیٹل ہے۔
زندہ باد میرے دوست 🙌❤🇵🇰
What colour is that? It looks like moss/avacado green. I had a 1960 beetle in Australia in the same paint.
My first beetle was bought new by my dad in 1968. he put 100 k miles on it, then my younger brother wore out the tires and the clutch at the same time and just walked away from it. I came along needing a cheap car so they said if you can get it running you can have it. After a new clutch and tires it was buffed up much like in this video--I did it all by hand. I drove it for ten years, eventually sold it for 1000 bucks.
Amazing that the engine was still in good shape?...Those beetle engines usually needed a rebuild after 100 thousand miles, if not before that!
Wow! What an amazing job … of staging a “barn find”.
And you know that it’s “staged” how?
I don't know it's staged, but I know that isn't an 'original' car. There are lots of inconsistencies in the age of components fitted to the vehicle and IMHO that's unusual for a barn find.
It’s not staged, 100% real. There is no meaning to create staged stuff when good non-staged cars exist.
I would really like to know the products that were used. espically the one that seemed to neutralize the rust??????
May I ask two question , 1) What soap are you using in the gun. I have wanted to change the one i am currently using , which I purchased through the detailer that ceramic coated both my Audi's I find no matter the consistency it does not have that good hang time as yours does . 2) The spray you used just prior to the soap , did it have a reactionary chemical to iron ? I have used something similar on my rims and it changes purple reacting to the brake dust . I'm curious the manufacturer of that spray and whether or not it does the same thing as what I was using ? Beautiful VW , I had a 1964 , 1776 California Bug that I returned to it's original design and loved it ... Cheers ..
This car was in remarkably good condition to start with . Definitely not perfect but very solid and straight with very little rust . A real beauty!!
What rust? I was searching for a spot.
Jóia rara de se ver.....é só preservar , se tivesse um desses guardaria dentro de casa na sala de visitas.......hehehehehe devo muito á esse carrinho pois aprendi a dirigir e tirei minha carteira de habilitação com um Beetle igualzinho á esse !!
Sie sprechen mir aus der Seele. Der Käfer hat mich nie nie nie im Stich gelassen egal zu welcher Jahreszeit . Ein wirklich gut erhaltenes Stück der oder die Vorbesitzer haben es gut gepflegt 👍💯🧐
