      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. :-)

      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.

    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.

    • @curbozerboomer1773
      @curbozerboomer1773 Рік тому +2

      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.

      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.

    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 used www.gordetmedrw.se products for the wash and rupes products for the polishing.

    Probably the nicest barn find ever.
    If you find one of these in the states there usually isn’t much remaining to work with.

    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 😞

    My first car was a 61 beetle with a big canvas sunroof. Growing up in a beach town on the east coast of Florida, it was the perfect car!

      Der ginge schon als Neuwagen durch. Der wurde nie verhunzt, Alles sorgsam geschutzt. Selbst die innenpolstersitze schauen aus wie neu. Da ist Dank der schon Bezuge nie etwas abgenutzt. Solch einen Käfer findet man vieleicht noch in einem Museum der noch niemals auf der Straße war. Alle Autohersteller stellen sich die ersten Wagen rüber für ins Museum.

    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

  • @buddysurfs2
    @buddysurfs2 Рік тому

    Looks stunning, and it would be fun to drive one again. My older brother bought a 66 brand new, the one year motor, though his had a little more metallic look to the green. Back in those days there were VW Ralleys everywhere in southern California and he always entered with his 66 VW. Then he bought a new 1968 black VW drove it 2 weeks from new, pulled the motor to have it built to I believe 1935cc's, it would pull the front wheels off the ground, cool. He only had that 68 for less than 6 months when I bought a new 1969 Chevelle SS396 and blew his doors off. He retaliated by buying a new 1970 Z-28 which I am humble enough to know he was faster than I again. Miss my older brother and the things he taught me about VW's. Keep that 66 and Drive it, they are fun!!

    the transformation of the Volkswagen Beetle is more than just a restoration; it is a labor of love, a testament to the passion and dedication of all those who contributed to its revival. And as the Beetle takes to the road once more, it serves as a reminder of the timeless appeal of classic cars and the enduring spirit of those who cherish them.
