    omg this reminds me of of my first car, a 1970 semi auto bug that was baby blue. My father and I put it back together and although it lacked a lot of modern features I loved driving this bug. It taught me about car maintenance but it also humbled me. I remember going to local shops to "fix" and "upgrade" my bug. Looking at this video now, after later owning a Lexus RX, I really wish I could go back and drive this simple yet silly little car

      I think the tail lights in 74 were the ones oval at the top and straight at the bottom. 1973 seems to be the last year for oval tail lights on standard Beetles in Europe. Some standards came without the headrests, indeed.

      For me it is really easy! I am a big guy, fat, with some force. The only moment when I feel a little bit the need for power steering is when I park it and I need to rotate the wheel on the spot, without the car moving. Otherwhise, when the car is moving, I can actually steer with 2 fingers. Brakes are fine all the time.

      It was on a hill, and I was in 3rd gear. Plus it has only 34hp. Maybe 2nd gear would have been a better option at that time

    I own a 1973 standard. This is not a 1973. No holes on the dashboard for the padded dash. The Steering wheel is from a 1968. The seats are incorrect for the year 1973. This bug is a late 1960's bug. Bumpers are older. Not the 1968 to 1973 standard bumpers.The deck lid is from a 1967 to 1971.I am bit confused about the location of the steering. It should be on the right if it is from Europe. Lastly, the 1973 bugs came with a 16oo cc engine. I have a 1776 engine with a 40 IDF webber.

      Hi! What country are you from? I am asking, because in Europe we had the Sandard Beetle (or Sparkafer how it was called in Germany) that came with rounded bumpers, simple steering wheel, and normal headlights. It's a mix of older generations with new ones. If you search Sparkafer on the internet you will see this was an actual model in Europe.
      About the steeering on the right hand side, that is only in England, not the whole Europe.

    That VW sure does not look like the VWs they were selling in North America in 1973. Looks like it is from about 1965. Lights and interior and windshield are quite different. In north american they started calling them Super Beatles and they were quite a bit larger then your 1973 VW.

    • @classiccarpov2311

      This is called a Sparkafer (basically a poor man's Beetle), because they used to build it with whatever parts they still had in stock from older models.
