- Today on Behind the Wheel, we go for a ride with Iain Gordon, shop manager at 503 Motoring. Lunch at the iconic Portland burger joint Hummdinger is on the menu. But before lunch, we learn some VW history and also get a TMI look into the senses of humor of these two. What could be more informative than riding shotgun while we learn about the "heater" inside Rusty. The conversation also gets pretty deep with a philosophical exploration of why they love their cars and the lengths taken to keep them going.
Long before he began collecting and driving luxury and exotic cars, Behind the Wheel host Tim Walbridge fueled his car fix with Volkswagen. The collection at 503 Motoring includes a few Beetles, but the one everyone asks about is Rusty, a 1965 Bug that's in serious need of a paint job, but will never see one.
Digital Trend's video series, Behind the Wheel, takes you inside some of the fastest, most exotic, and most unique cars on the planet. Join host Tim Walbridge as he shares his expertise and excitement for cars. You're along for the ride in modern supercars like the Mclaren 720s, American Classics including a restomodded '48 Ford Convertible, Tesla's Model X, and everything in between. Celebrity guests regularly get behind the wheel with Tim and share their favorite car stories.
Tim Walbridge is the President and Founder of 503 Motoring, a luxury and exotic car dealership and customization center in Portland, Oregon. With over 20 years industry experience, Tim has driven just about every exotic, and not so exotic car there is. His expertise and down to earth attitude show in all of his projects, including hosting Behind the Wheel.

Is your Ghia the green one in Wilsonville for years at European Motor Werks? That one was impressive!
My headliner is burlap bags with the bows holding it in.
Apparently, whoever made this video does not care about what commenters are asking or saying. Poor business model. Shame on you.
Only fear other drivers. I put mine between two semi trucks.
I would have sworn our 65 didn't have a fan but then, we lived in Michigan so it probably wouldn't have mattered.
what size tires? and lowered how much front & back?
40 hp was '61-'65 , 50hp was '66 only !
I was reading the comments and was justvabout to say that
This is an awesome episode. Keep Buggin guys. Be well always😊✌

I have a 65 patina too what did you put on the headliner? I dig it.
I love hipsters. Nice bug. What was the winning bid for rusty?
I had 1965 Bug alike yours when I was 19 I think. Wonderful memory..
Very nice patina on this bug

The surgery required to remove a toothpick from the oropharynx is quite bloody.
How narrow of a beam? Do you have front disc brakes.?
Could I ask you how you got it like that I’m thinking of doing mine also I’ve got a 71 bug will I need to take the paint off or just use paint stripper
