"Oh,...the brakes are terrible!" .... and a car makes a U-turn in front of you a few moments later...I had a heart attack on your behalf...😁 Very cool looking machine. I like that style of wheel too. Cheers, and stay well!
I remember as a young boy back in the 60's my parents had a white (1959?) VW. We did all our holidays in that car, with roof bars on the roof, and two kids tucked down in the back on an improvised bed/bench seat. Now 50 years later, this brings back great memories of holidays and unexplored country. Awesome!
Dear @@cidercik 👍👌👏 😁😂😁😂 Yeah, it looks as if to be a part of the VW oldtimer community is simply necessary!? ;-) Just kidding of course. Best regards, luck and health.
Drove a 64 bug around SW Philly in the mid 70's.The cobblestone streets, and trolley tracks were hard on it. Glad it did not have the teeny front tires, and lowered front. That would have destroyed it !
@@5150mxVW of course! You def deserve more subs...I don’t understand why you don’t have 10mil yet! You are fantastic! Also..anymore videos with mustie coming soon?
Ditto! Not looking for a Bug, but a Chevy II. Not looking very hard as I have a new project currently with a 1981 Vette. Turn out to be way better than thought as the old owner thought it needed a new motor, but it needed a full tune up, like every possible part needed for the tuneup. Distributer, coil, plugs, air filter, wires, everything, but it runs excellent even with the crossfire fuel injection which can sometimes be a pain, but it’s excellent! Transmission is crisp as well. It’s in the body shop now. Everything is straight as it was garage kept (kinda, the roof leaked) so the paint will be redone in factory colours. First repaint on it. It’s a teenaged dream car when I was 16-17 years old. Now I have one at 57!! Haha. Interior next! I have all of the parts here now except the seats. They were the fabric covered models, but that’s hard to find so the foams and leather covers are on the way! Should have just bought the seats, but who knows??? Cars are a new addiction for me as it was trucks for the last 42 years!
Yes , she noticed a roof rack on one of the cars and asked “ is that new ? “ . Yes , it came from the Beetle I just bought , I said ....she wasn’t thrilled haha . I had given him a deposit and took the rack , went back later w Jen . Yes , Josh always keeping it real 😁. Thank you
Glad you made it home, classic “I know where I’m going” moment lol Well, it’s in a little bit better shape than the pine cone beetle….. Seriously, nice score.
Haha that was pretty cool with your sons ability to spot broken down VWs in the woods, who knows if it ended up there or if it was pushed there, don't even have a drivers license but still recently subscribed for the restoration of these old cars, thanks
I bought a 64 out of a junkyard in Boise Idaho in 84 for $400. Best car I ever had and I miss it daily. We just didn’t know what we had. I sure love my 69 which I do have.
sounds like a plan ! brakes / strip and repaint to OG Java green for the weekend🤣....I will probably just drive the 66 Beetle . I will be leaving this one as is paint wise and just tidy it up for driving ....I have enough cars needing paint haha. See you Sunday Bud.
Nice Bug! My dad has a 64 beetle low rider pearl white patina. When we first got it it had the BRMs. Now we got the porche rims on it. Planning on getting the BRMs again! 👍
I bought a '70 Ford Econoline Van w/out a test drive -& had my best friend follow me home, you know "just in case". Brakes were occasional, let's say. But driving home on a Friday night after rush hour balanced it out :)
Another great find. Really dig the color. The engine sound strong and the lowered front end must have made it a bear to drive. You really do have a touch for finding these gems. Keep up the hunt.
Looks good for 6k us ,that would be 20k in Aussie money.Love your channel .I have a lad named Josh the same age. We are doing a restomod on a 61 one year only Ruby Red . Keep up the great videos .Ive watched all your vids I love your style and content. You’re keeping it real 🤙
1200 was manufactured in Brazil until 1966, with a model of the oldest block, Vw offered a similar exchange basis, when it needed to be rectified, claimed 1200 br
J, I love the new car! Great year and I too am a fan of the BRMs. $6k IMO is very fair for that car, despite the number of non-matching pieces that appear to be on it. I’ll tell you I never drive my oldies on the highway if I can avoid it. Danger Will Robinson!
At least you don’t have to sneak this one past Jenn! LOVE THE COLOR! Next Sunday it will be 82 degrees so I am going to drive 007 to Rapid City and back 174 miles one way. Will leave very early so I can be back before it hits 82. Will have the oil changed before I go. Wish me luck! Roger in Pierre South Dakota
Love the colour of that bug Jason, a friend of mine has an immaculate mid 60's Karmann Ghia original in that colour. The '64 you bought will come up great with those few mechanical issues fixed, shame about the super lowered suspension, looks good but impractical, great it is still 6 volt and original 1200/40hp engine.
New subscriber from the UK - love that you save so many of these Beetles and Campers. Have a 1971 1300 myself, and have always loved Beetles. Late to your channel Jason, but do you have any videos of when you have completed a vehicle and moved it on. Not seen one! Awesome channel.
@@5150mxVW Appreciate the reply Jason. So, I guess the thrust of my question was, do you get some of these absolute wrecks back into saleable condition - I just haven't seen any videos, where you have brought one back to life and sent it back out into the world to be enjoyed. BTW - Josh is a star, so articulate, with a great sense of humour.... must get that from the ever-patient Jen (joking, of course).
wow....what a gorgeous ride....I had one...While out to sea on the USS Carl Vinson, someone stole the headlights, bumpers, turn signals....well, anyway, it went by the wayside....
Sweet car! Has a lot less work needed on it than most of the ones you have at home 🤣. Nice carpet set and away you go.... Check it out and maybe install a camber compensator in the back and make sure you have a front anti sway bar on the front beam. Sometimes adding caster shims helps an unstable front end too. The smaller front wheels make for wrong speedo readings. Hooray!!! Welding!! Pretty soon you’ll be just like Mike Fn!!! 😉💪👍
When I bought my bug, the guy said, "That's just how Beetle brakes are." Um, no sir, that's not how they are, the right rear brake cylinder was leaking, and I think he knew that. I replaced it and now it stops real good.
sounds like the 67 Ghia vert I bought Jen . the front end was so bad just around his nice neighborhood roads at 35 mph ...I was like : " yikes , needs some front end work " ....he says " nah , that's typical for an old car " ....
The charge light indicator bulb has been switch into tne signal light indicator. .... You will need a Vplkswagen mechanic to check everything in the bug... You are very brave to drive this car on the road....
That's a super sweet new skate you got yourself there! Congratulations! Now, get rid of that weak 40horse! Seriously, I'm jealous. It's a pretty car. Enjoy it!
Nice 64 buy Jason ,how many have you got know ? I actually sold one this week but bought 2 an Audi TT Quattro and a gt beetle (vwcoco channel) nice repair on split cab and a mk1 golf (rabbit) in the woods very cool but def joyriders
Nice car Jason. The last bug I bought back in the 80s that I drove home from its resting place was a 1966 older restoration not in bad shape at all. I paid $400.00 for. If I only knew they would be selling for six grand 😳
Doesn't look like this 64 is going to take a lot to make right. Just fix the stance, steering, speedometer, and the brakes, Find something to plug those flag/antennae holes so water doesn't get in, and just sort it all out. Seemed to run really well. I really like the orange color. I'm concerned, though, about how long that exterior paint is going to hold on. Looks like it's already trying to peel off of the passenger's side fender. Similar condition car would probably go for about that same price down here. Jen didn't seem too angry about this one so that's a plus. Also. I much enjoy the actual work videos and was glad to see you stitch a little patch panel on the single cab. -Shane
1964 seems to be worthwhile ... Myself, prefer 1967 to 1974 Beetle/Super Beetle ... What ever your income $tream, $eem to be able to continuously afford addition$ to your collection ... $aving of the air cooled VW's is a noble cause ... The "air" apparent ... Slainte' ! Cheers !
Cool car Jason. How often do you convert 6 volt to 12 volts in your Vee Dubs restorations? Must be great having Josh riding shotgun to spot possible gems hiding in the woods, although that Rabbit turned out to be a lump of coal and not a diamond in the rough.
Hey guys, Looks like the 64 is a nice car with a little work that’s going to be a nice daily for someone. But I think the rabbit needs to be put down and out of its misery. Anyhoo thanks for sharing a great adventure. Stay safe and healthy everyone. ✌️. Peace
nice series of events on this video sir, diggin the wheels,
Always nice to meet you here.
I have now owned my '83 beetle for half a year, exactly today. I am now 18 and i love driving my beetle more than anything. Love the channel too ✌🏼
Cool car! Glad you made it home safely! Nice metal work! Six years that's fast! That rabbit is insane!

That's why VW owners make friends with other VW owners. So they have someone to pick them up.

What’s up dude? I started watching your channel about a week ago... I love it! My favorite beetle is a 73 super beetle

( you need to make a t-shirt “ just moving cars around “ ) 😂
I would buy one! Two Beetles, a Terrain and my daughters Dodge Spirit.... one lane driveway :)
You sure live in a GORGEOUS part of the country ! I've never been to Connecticut.
thank you , then you drive up into VT , NH and Maine and are like🤯...makes me feel like i live in the city 😁

thank you John
Great video glad you posted my friend keep them coming.
thank you Donald
I like seeing the repair work. More please.
if you insist👍
I see Jen smiling so this might work out well. And Josh keeps it real with pushin' another car. Fun video!

Well, it’s in a little bit better shape than the pine cone beetle…..
Seriously, nice score.
Kool bug , I got a 1959 ragtop that I love driving. There's nothing like the smell and driving an old bug on the highway and the looks ya get
One of the nicer ones I’ve seen on your channel. I’d say it’s a heck of a score👍🏻
thank you Doug , I like it

that's a new one :)...thank you
Man, the Alpine comment took me right back to the 80’s!😂😂😂
Nice looking Beetle! Looks like Empi alloy wheels. Haven't seen them since the 60's.
thank you Dave , BRM repops
Hurry up and fix those brakes! Terryville is next weekend! Java Green is SWEET. I would strip and repaint that beauty. See ya next weekend
sounds like a plan ! brakes / strip and repaint to OG Java green for the weekend🤣....I will probably just drive the 66 Beetle . I will be leaving this one as is paint wise and just tidy it up for driving ....I have enough cars needing paint haha. See you Sunday Bud.
I bought my 76 last year without test driving it. Very nice car, congrats.
Brings back memories of the sketchy drive I made home when I bought my Java Green 65.
Nice , I love Java Green :)
Same year I was born but it looks a whole lot better than me. What a beauty.
Nice Bug! My dad has a 64 beetle low rider pearl white patina. When we first got it it had the BRMs. Now we got the porche rims on it. Planning on getting the BRMs again! 👍
Good looking car. Good price, too. I like how you do the check over of the car after the highway trip home. Lol. Another good video! 👍
WOW how pretty. I have a 64 with crank sun roof in my Moms back yard has bamboo taking it over needs a full restoration
Beautiful Car Jason. Love the color....in side and out I think you got a good deal for shape and year of it. So clean!👍
Hi Jim , I sold it for what I paid , 6k ...working on the ruby red 63 right now , super solid !
Great video Jason. I love the 64 . Great job finding the hidden treasure in the woods Josh
Thanks Brian , I got a trade deal to run by you 😁. Josh says thank you .
The colour suits the 64. Easy fixes for you. I learnt to drive in a ‘78 VW Golf (rabbit). I now own and drive a 2019 Golf, great wee cars

Hi Tom , the paint is different and the engine does run very well ...I must say I drove the stock sea blue 66 and what a difference :). Thank you

You could get a 1200 'standard' Beetle well into the 70's in Europe.
@@BRED510
here in Brazil, the Vw 1200 until 1966 has the same block model as the Vw 1953, a two-part block.
Cool find!

Beautiful car, the red, although not factory, looks great. Nice bit of surgery on the Single cab.

Always pump them brakes BEFORE you need to use them. Pumping will almost always firm them up for that initial stop! 😉👍

Man that's a nice car I'm a tad bit jealous which is funny because I'm not even that big of a beetle fan
That one will be a piece of cake to restore. Be sure to change the old brake light switches on the master. I had one blow out on a 68 and lost brakes.
Nice car. Good price! Hope there are no surprises.... looking good so far
oh there are HAHA, stay tuned :)

You were driving so fast! It made me super nervous to watch knowing the brakes were not good.
Cool car Jason. How often do you convert 6 volt to 12 volts in your Vee Dubs restorations? Must be great having Josh riding shotgun to spot possible gems hiding in the woods, although that Rabbit turned out to be a lump of coal and not a diamond in the rough.
thank you Bob , if they are 6v I leave em 6v :). It is great having Josh riding shotgun :)
