      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. :-)

      @robwhite461 4 місяці тому

      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.

      @@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.

    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 9 місяців 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.

    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 😊👍

    It’s more efficient if u go from the top down when you wash so you don’t re-rinse a lot. The more u know. 🌈⭐️ cool video !!!!!!

    • @eriks825
      @eriks825 10 місяців тому +2

      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.

    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!

    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 ..
