- Let's go buy the cheapest 1967 Vw Beetle I could find, service the engine and do a first start. We also get it on the lift and see if we got a good deal or bad deal.
HYPERLITE website : hi-hyperlite.com/
Hyperlite Amazon : www.amazon.com/...
I think with it being one owner and all that history it makes it a special little car .
I think you got a good deal buddy
thank you Jason , I am very happy to own it
@@5150mxVW please finish the cr125
What a great find! The history absolutely makes it.
👍👍
Jason Pierce. : ask Jen. ask Josh.
Its really nice when you know more about a vehicle and it’s history especially buying a older generation car, i like to know it’s life and what it’s done!
GREAT FIND!! :)
Trying to convince my dad to buy a VW dunebuggy project with me, needs a lot of work, but from watching your videos and some others, definitely gotten more confidence in making them run and wrenching on them.
get one and get wrenching ! :)
Aside from a few rust repairs it actually looks pretty good. It's nice to see one start up right on the high idle like it should and then come back down after it warms up a little.
thank you Shane
This bug is way cool. The previous owner loved this car! Thank you for all your efforts keeping these old VW’s alive!
Love original owner receipts. I bought my 68 autostick with all the info. These are getting harder and harder to find like this. Congrats
HS classmate of mine built a driver dune buggy at just 16-17 years of age. He could fix VWs in his sleep. Once got up to the chalkboard and explained the air-cooled engine - in German (he was Armenian). GM hired him right out of M.I.T. to design Cadillacs. Unfortunately, he was killed in an auto accident about 9 years ago. Sarkis had a great sense of humor, and had to be the smartest guy I've ever known. I think of him every time I see a VW video.
History is great. Jason you definitely got a gem here. And to even speak to the original owner. Can't get any better...I love VW All way's wanted one. My dad never wanted me to have one. But big fan of VW Jason!!! Great Vidio!!!
A bonus to be able to talk to the original owner. Was she able to shed some light on the front fenders?
yes , she said some A hole hit the car when it was parked out front her house
My folks got rid of their last Bug and Bus right before I got my driver's license. I only got to drive a couple of Rabbits. I now have a 2017 Beetle and love it, but SOMEDAY, I will own a real Beetle. Your channel makes me so happy. My dad was a mechanic at a VW garage before I was born and a weekend mechanic throughout his life. He always smelled like oil, gas and grease. Intoxicating smells to this day. Thanks for all of the great content.
Best year, best color, best dealer... striking all of the points with this one!
I like it, with the history I think you got into it for a fair price. Looking forward to the repair videos.
YES!!! So glad to see a Beetle rescue with all the history! I keep all my work receipts on all my cars (3 VWs). So cool that yo got to talk with the ORIGINAL owner!!! I'd love to se a collabrative done with this VW.
The hat, the coat, the beard, the lucky find...everything is working together in perfect harmony. Life doesn't get any cooler.
Now that looks like one to fix up, easier than some we have seen.
yes 👍
awesome find! the lighting in the shop is night and day, literally lol
:)))))
a great find apart from a few rush repairs it looks good can not wait to
see it looking good as new again
The sound of a Beetle cannot be beaten. Love ❤️ it.
I dunno what bugs are worth any more. Back when I was buying and selling and trading they were worth about $600. Definitely under a thousand. I had a '67 with a great motor. It was peppy, handled well. Kind of a poor man's Porsche, hehe. It was fun, but I decided it was too new. I wanted something more classic. Found a local guy selling a 1961 ragtop. There with him was his new oval sedan. He didn't want both, so I took the '61 off his hands. This was back in the mid 1980s. 1967 was an odd ball transition year for the bug. Parts like door handles were one year only. The front fenders were changed from the sleek Porsche style headlamps to those round, flat looking ones. I doubt I will ever own another bug, but if I did it would have to be a ragtop. Nothing like cruising around on a nice day with that fabric top rolled back. Really fun!😄
Very nice car and with those receipts it makes sense for the deal you got. It will need some welding but hey it is quite old! So now you can actually see what you are doing in the shop, that has to be a bonus. 😁 Thanks Jason for sharing this video, regards to you and the family. 👍
Happy to see you on the road. And not freezing. The adventures you get yourself into are so fun. So really want you and Mustie1 to do another video together because both of you guys are. VeeDub Kings! I don’t care much for the other channels, you guys are the Saturday and Sunday tradition at my place. Love what you do. I am still chuckling how you got that convertible from fossil state. Just proves how much you rock. Hope you and Jen and Josh are doing great!
Thank you Vincent , a Mustie1 collab could be in the near future and Vw related :). I'm sitting here with Jen & Josh , they say hello . Have a great weekend !
Nice, hard to find that paperwork and a one owner! Really cool that you got to speak to her, you'll have to take her for a ride when you get the car redone. She'll probably freak out when she finds out how much you paid for the car, she probably sold it for $500. Lol.
Well This One was Much easier than the blue one. But They all Are Fun. Be safe Dizzy.
Would love to have a project like that. She’s most definitely a runner. Sounds really great .
Congratulations. Looks like fun, and all the records too!
One owner and you got to talk to her. That's awesome! Us mature folks got to drive all the cool cars brand new. I paid twice as much for my used 73 as I did for my 74 new off the dealer floor. Awesome score for you on this car.
$4000 sounds like a pretty good deal, even though there is "a bit" of work ahead of you. And the engine sounds very healthy. That's a big plus for you. Decent score, Jason.
Thank you Frank , yes a huge plus to be able to back it in and out of the shop and not push it 😂😁
i have those hyperlites in my spot.....they are pretty awesome...i put them in smart outlets so the lights go on when i arrive at my studio and go off when i leave...ps love the channel...you have quite a nice collection of sweet old veedubs
nice , yes, I might actually use the shop now , I can see :). Thank you , have a great weekend
Nice score! Love your videos! Guess what I need lights! It’s a two fur. I’m m checking out the lights next!
That was a good buy. Those cars are getting harder and harder to find. I think it's one of the nicest ones you've brought home. The engine sounds great. John
thank you John
Hey
Your you tube stuff is awesome man!
It’s great that your saving so many dubs.
I have a couple of bugs myself with lots of “rust and crust” to deal with. We are far from you in Victoria BC Canada. Same sh** different pile.
Keep it going!
that rust in the pan scares me, (thankfully it is rare to find them like that here) with how unfazed you are, i guess you are used to it though.
getting to talk to the original owner!
Good morning from central USA.
good morning
Love this one. At least you didn't have to chisel this one out of the ice in a basement full of bat poop.
The Ghia is home!!!
Hmmm I need to try one of those hyper lites. Look good!
Wow that frame head definitely needs attention! 😳
Gotta love having all those receipts.
Some folks make the valves too tight. Better off a little loose. 😁
Wow that strainer is really clean!
I think with the history with all the paperwork it was worth it!
Holeeee Smokes!! Yeah I need hyper lights!!
Dear 5150mxVW Jason
Hehehe! Aaaaand another one! 👍👌👏
I don't know if I remember correctly: I thought to have heard "someone" saying, that he has way too much cars and needs to sell some urgently. Wasn't it from over 30 vehicles downsizing to 12?
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
Great one and video, need som love😁😎
Awsome shop lights👌
thank you my friend, yes very happy with the lights , i can see now :)
Thats great😁
21:05 You caught yourself just as you were going to say: "the difference is like night and day"! You are a professional actor! You have your own Mustie1 chuckle, also. Great video! Thanks!
Another wonder on the collection. Congratulatios and blessings.
Jason, I saw you, looking at the motor, turning to the camera with a big smile, not once, not twice , but at least three times. Caressing her bumper and just melting from her purring engine. I swore I heard her say (her name was Olga I believe), with a sultry German accent, "Jason, only $3,900, love me long time, purrrrr..." Brouhaha ha ha. Great find and you weren't pushy at all this video. 😁 Thanks for another awesome one. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
haha, yes , I was pretty happy there wasn't i ? :) . Thank you John👍
I been reviewing several early 70's Beetles for a project, came across one that the owner wanted 15K for and at best is was worth maybe 2500. I am also going to look for a Porsche 914.
people are asking crazy $ for 70's Beetle's ....914's can get expensive / extensive to repair rust
If all niggely bits and rust can be fixed to same level as that great engine, you surely have a winner (specially '67) on your hands. All the best with restoration !!
thank you Henry
Nice find! I think it was indeed worth the price paid with all the history that came with it. Yes there are some rusted pans, but those are fixable. Thanks for the video.
thank you Adam, yes, Dubwerks and I started the pan repair👍
Hell yeah dude that car is awesome!!! Nothing cooler than a black 67!! After 25 years of vw buying I still dont have a 67! So I have a Sept 67 beetle that I'm trying to build a fake one out of! Haha I have some nice 67 only rear towel bars if you want them!! Rad Dude!!!
The only thing that matters is that you’re happy with free car. It ran really nicely after the valve adjust and oil change. Hopefully the bulkhead won’t be too crusty and you’ll have this done in no time. The herd is getting bigger man, you might need another shop soon!!
Hi AB, thank you , Dubwerks and I started the pans . Yes, at the end of the day I was happy to have found and landed this one for sure .
Mmmm, a black '67 with red interior, history, and original engine. What is not to like??? A little crispy, but better than a lot you have dragged on home. Cool that you talked to the original owner as well. The original owners of most of my VWs have sadly passed on decades ago... Looking forward to seeing you progress on this car!
Was the advertized price a bait and switch? You are one brave dude to take that on, but the experience will obviously be the factor in making this a worthwhile investment. You are saving it for sure.
Old bugs are getting so popular I assume the guy underpriced it and started getting offers over the asking price , the markets competitive for original examples
Great buy to add to the collection👍
I did a hyper light in my garage . Very nice .
Nice , I'm very happy with them
The smile sez it all....I believe that you got a good deal....gonna enjoy this series of vids...thanks !
😁😁, thank you Tim
All in all you have a fine machine. Strong and original engine. Floor pans are what they are and I am sure you can deal with those as well as the rest.
Agreed 👍, doing the rear pan now :)
Not sure that I’ve seen any of the bugs you’ve bought start up as quickly. Think it’ll turn out a nice one. The lights have made a huge difference.
you might be right Al :) , lights make we want to stay and work👍
Hey Jason, another great score, always good to get an "original" with all the paperwork, rust can be dealt with, maybe a whole platform replacement. Pity that "Turner's" dog "Hooch" had a chew on the seats but even that not insurmountable. Nice.
thank you Gary, very happy to have it ....just doing rear pan install and some misc rust repair
Good morning brother sitting here drinking my coffee and I'd the blessing of having your video pop up
Good Morning David , thank you my friend
Great score 👍. And it even runs LoL 😜 amazing lights WOW. Have a great weekend...
thank you EB :)
Definitely worth it !!!! Enjoy our weekend too !!!
thank you , you too !
Well Jason, sometimes when you're digging for gold, you find a diamond in the rough. Looking forward to the next episode.
thank you Bob, next one should be pan repair
Better than the 67 I found, I found one with Good Orinigal 1500 (intact) good bumpers and A TREE FELL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOF!
LED is definitely the way to go! Way, way better lighting that pays for itself in the long run. As soon as people convert they get to see everything they've been missing and NO ONE ever regretted going to LED. It won't be long before you can't find those old annoying florescent tubes.
Anyway - It's good to see you stoked. Looking forward to the collaboration with Dubwerks!
Peace!
Thank you John !👍👍
Another 67! Very nice one too.
I like her, and it's very cool she her original engine! Nice find!
Runs nice too, love your vids man!
thank you JP ! , much appreciated
Nice buy, definitely one to do up being a one owner and black too. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
thank you RJ
Soo cool that it's 1 owner orig motor and has a stack of recipts
Great Bug mate not a bad price either it looks very solid, hope it turns out OK for you. All my very best Simon from the UK 👍
Nice bug Jason looking forward to the next video on it👍.
Thank you , working on the rear pan now 👍
I think you did well. I would be happy to pay that!
I am :)
Well it's a '67 with papers so it's got that going for it. Engine sounds better after the valve adjustment. But the underside rust and suspension hacks ... not good. Easily worth $500. :D
we can fix that :)
68 bumpers are more sqaure with rubber down the center. 67 is a great year for thw mechanical upgrades yet still older styling. 68 is great year also if ya want the changes
Hey, a Dubwerks twin...sort of! Thats awesomely documented. Easily ready for DustOff
mines better lol....yes easily :)
That's awsome you got to talk to the original owner wow👍
very, very cool :)
Excellent video Jason :) also that sweet plus great sound motor car also think got winner too ! Keep up matinne up and last long time ahead too!
thank you Andrew, I appreciate it
@@5150mxVW welcome
I had '69 that wasn't exactly trouble-free (and we'll leave it at that) but my brother had a '67 that was just an amazingly reliable bug. The '67 ran well for 2 years on three cylinders towards the end of it's engines life.
Score buddy! Always a fan of what you're all about! Finding the originals in that condition is so awesome (fenders not withstanding), floor pans can be expedited by Mustie1...
Thank you Don , working on the pans now 👍
@@5150mxVW Do it up! my heroes save the stuff I grew up seeing! I saw a guy towing a diesel Caddy from the 70's a year ago! Blew my mind! Worst case Ontario... CA, salt and rust !
well he screwed you on the body but the motor makes up for it hope you will do vids on other repairs Really like this
body is in good shape , minus the wrong fenders . The engine and history is where it's at for me . Recorded the rear pan yesterday , more to come , thank you Ed👍
I think the override bumpers look better on the 67 for some reason. Maybe you can track those down? I think you got a good deal on a 67, 1 year only! Fix the metal underneath, install new seat covers, floor mats and ask 7k!
That's a lovely find. By the way, the bumpers are he original minus the other elements.
Nice. Cant wait to see the half pan install.
Under 4 is cheap.
thanks man , going to weld the pan in tonight👍
Cool 67, with local history. 👍
thank you 76'👍
Hyper lights . On Amazon quite reasonable. Plug and Play.
love them !
Body off resto and bring it back to stock ! Ya got a lift and a garage! Start wrenching and stop washing cars! Ya got this💪👍
He likes the chase! Keep up your good work!
No body off on this one but Dubwerks and I did start the pans yesterday . Thank you for the vote of confidence :)
haha , I do seem like to like buying them don't I ....thank you , some work videos coming ,snooze alert haha
Hello mate 👍
Great car great bones and history of paperwork 🎉 score 💯
One owner cars are getting hard to find. Looks like a nice buy.
That’s the cheapest on FB you could find ? Dang ! Lol. People out East must really like them !
Great buy
Thank you JcF
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
thank you Donnie
Awesome work, love the hyperlites
thank you, yes , I am very happy with the lights
This thing looks sick!
thank you !
The history and provenance add a bunch of value. The rust detracts a ton of value. None of that is an easy fix. Location is everything with this car. Here in the Northwest, it might be worth 30% to 50% less than what you paid, simply because there are more clean cars available. But it seems you did just fine with this one.
#3 exhaust valve was tight? They always seem to be that way. As you know, keep a close eye on that one. If it keeps getting tight with each check up, that valve is stretching due to heat cycling, and getting ready to break off.
67 love it
Can't believe how sweet that engine sounds buddy, nice catch
thank you Jamie
Really cool that you were able to connect with the original owner! Is it an original black car with red interior? Which dealership did she purchase it from? Pretty cool!
$3,900 was a bit steep but all in all a great score. The belt looked too tight? Usually you see a little warble when running. Couldn't tell on camera. Looking forward to how this one comes out.
You're right about the belt.
Nice find !
Bright lights
My favorite color & interior combo on a vw sedan! So where are all the type 3,'s & type 4's already? LOL
one of mine as well , stratos silver for the early cars ....not too many around here
Yes silver is sharp also with red interior.
A little trick I learned about looking at rust buckets and I am in the rot box state believe me but anyway get yourself a cheap selfie stick that extends clamp your phone in it video on light on and get a piece of cardboard to lay on and scan the undercarriage of the car slowly get in your vehicle and review the video. Pictures tell the story and video as well. You know I never paid more that 400 bucks for a bug. But anyway do the undercarriage scan with the selfie stick trick.
Good stuff!
thank you Sgt Rock
Bought new by the original owner. Nice pedigree. I'm going to check on those lights
🤣, Imagine having to edit this stuff lol
You're an old hand at it. And it shows. Don't stop believing..
Sweet ride wow
thank you
