Cool & Quick! - Brien’s 67 VW Bug
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- To close the week, come along and take a quick ride while enjoying the sounds of this 2275cc VW powerplant. Brien has been in the scene since he was a teen, and I’ve known Brien for a little while now but there’s a few cool things even I learned about him today. Enjoy the inspirational story of how a teen took his desire to have a VW and made that passion become his career. A self-taught, self-starter then, continues today to make other people’s VWs what they should be for everyone…..a blast to drive and enjoy. Be sure to crank up the volume on the driving scenes. You’ll love it! #vw #vwbug #socal #orange

Absolutely fascinating story! This is what I love about the VeeDub scene - no rigid rules, just do your thing and have fun! Younger generations are involved than the Corvette scene - I have a very rare ‘63 and all anyone wants to know is if the numbers match - no fun at all! And if I drive it fast I get told off for endangering such a rare car…jeesh!
The VW people, on the other hand are just so cool and friendly- lots of families involved, too, so my 7 year old can have fun, too.
I daily drive my ‘71 Ghia and it not only puts a smile on my face, but other people’s too - no resentment, or the talk of $$ you get with the expensive stuff- just fun conversations.
You guys get it - great video!
Couldn’t agree with you more!
That was priceless! 65 year old grandma here who loves Beetles. Thanks for the ride!
Right on!
Cruising around Orange County in an amazing Cal-look would make me feel better too, Brien! 👍
I agree with Brien about that color of blue. It is the most beautiful shade of blue, I think, Volkswagen used for their early cars !! In fact I was hooked on a VW blue 68 or 69 with white interior, hardtop, sitting at a curb. It matched the clothing trend of bright navy with white top stitching for the season. I thought it was gorgeous. That was the moment I KNEW I wanted a bug. I was 11 years old. I am glad things worked out for Brien.
Yeah, my best friend had a 67 bug that was VW blue and ever since I was a teen, I have always had a personal interest and connection with it as well. Thanks for your comments!
That is a super clean build, I love it!! And you spell your name the right way Brien!
Hi Eddy, thank you for another report which touches the human heart of the VW scene - what in fact is all what is about. And, of course, another Volkswagen gem 👍👍
Truly, my pleasure. Thank you for the very kind words.
What a cool car love the American influence in the customisation of the Beetle and love the Cal look

Great video! This is my idea of a beetle! I would love to swap my Porsche for one and build an awesome engine like this one for it!. I love it, would love to see his bus on here soon…Did you get the pictures I sent you? Just checking as they could’ve gone in your junk lol 😂
Man, does this thing pull and sounds great doin’ it! Really fantastic build and builder!
And it’s a blast to go for a ride in!
Thank you for sharing Eddie I've seen this car quite a few times at shows it's a lot better in person . I'm getting closer to my 67 restoration being done hopefully it will be on the road before the end of summer or slightly after .love you're video's Dude..
Hey, that’s awesome that you’re getting further ahead with your car. Little by little right? Anyway, thank you for the kind words. So glad that you like the videos.
Great video. I never got the name of his shop. I have a 56 oval with the exact same motor built by Brothers as well. Those guys are the kings IMO when it comes to building g VW motors. Have said that it has sat for about 6 years and I am trying to get it running again. I would love to bring it to his shop for him to look at it.
Thanks
@@johnvillano3024 Roth Vintage is the name of his shop. You can follow him on instagram @roth_vintage
@@EddyCollins-TZN168 AWESOME. Thank you sir…… keep up the great work. I greatly appreciate you
@@johnvillano3024 that really means a lot, so thank you!
I am a bug fanatic!
Then you must’ve really enjoyed this ride.
I like how the tack mounts on the center vent so you don't need to drill anything.
Yeah man! It’s pretty rad looking.
Awesome bug great watch. 👍👍
Thanks 👍
sounds very great
A sound I will never get tired of hearing
Awesome power
Parabéns pelo carro muito bom gosto!!!!👏👏👏
Obrigado 👍
For me the best VW set up to travel and everyday life driving is the 1776 set up no a race car but with the proper carb set up is a beast to depends on no trouble crap .I love VW old school style nothing fancy.but above I love Honda CRX ds engine not b engine or k engines I love combo the d engine with carb and cam nothing fancy but reliable gd on gas and cheap to maintenance and fast enough to kp a fight with others in the streets with high technology crap like EMC VTEC turbo jjj.Like I said before for me the best deal in the bug is the 1776 set up fast enough to have fun real reliable engine easy to maintenance and jack up with small things to a bit more HP and torque simple engine and reliability is beautiful gd video
I went with my brothers to the dealer to get valve cover gaskets and the parts guy had to show them a new 67 how it ran so he used the demo car and took them for a ride .
That’s one thing I do wish. That I could have been a little older so I could have had the experience of going to a dealer.
Hey Eddy ! first car 63 white bug it,s name was J-- Burner
No way! Cool!
San Martin was a different place back then.....Today all your neighbors would be looking over your fence and calling the city to get you to get rid of your cars.
Good afternoon, could someone please tell me where he bought the hella headlight rim shown in the video?
Usually, you can find these on the samba.com
The story with the girl in the blue Beetle seems to be, for Brien, the blonde with the T-Bird...
Wow wow wow wow .I think they're peeing there pants. Wow ha ha wow
Ha ha wow and i wow. Duid wow
