My first beetle was a 1965 VW. Beetle.I dreamed of one since I was in 3rd grade it was one of the best Blues that my dad could have picked out. At the time in 1962 my girlfriend had a 1966 grey with a maroon ragtop and .I just love going through these shout . These are my bugs and many dreams and when I die I will go to hognilenddddsee9

I've driven a VW Bug since the mid 90's, and am a big fan. The year you chose was perfect for this build! Nice work guys!

LMFAO!!! He said "speedo Cable" when pulling the motor.....LOL

Halfway through and I already love the way it looks

Erin that is a great job good luck with all your endeavors.

impressive that dude just shook the rear of the beetle like that haha

Great video! My son and I are working on our 69 Ghia that we saved from the car crusher 👍

... started out with a 1200cc motor, not 1600. I had a '65.

Now it looks like the VW hot rods you see in magazines.

If I brought a vintage beetle to these guys in that condition for them to ride on the front bumper and shake the back end like that I'd be super pissed at how unprofessional they are

It’s a TV show, it was made for drama. Most of the issues on the shows were made up for entertainment.

I’m finding that HP claim to be dubious

That was too original to have been modified

Parents naked” that was sick 😊

Where did I miss the new engine being identified and installed? I'm watching the old one come out and suddenly a new one appeared magically installed in the engine bay. I've never had that happen to me. And for those who thought it looked better before they lowered it: I agree. They lost the look lowering the suspension, no matter how many roof racks they put on.

I was interested in what suspension you installed. I just hotrodded a ‘64 Bug with a Hyper 9HV electric motor. We put in coil over shocks, but didn’t change the rest of the suspension. I’m looking for ideas.

Honestly only watched because of the car. Perfect bug... made just a little bit better.

What's with the never ending fascination to lower car so that it's a stagecoach type of ride feeling?

I know if you're trying to go fast in an old beetle, you want it low to keep airflow from getting underneath & lifting the car off the road.

here in germany i knew 2 people they swapped a porsche boxter engine in a vw beetle 😅

Shoulda put a Cummins in it

I wanted that car so bad.

Bug is dope

I really like the wheels...

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea !" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

I would love to see detail on the suspension and motor. I love the final product. Would love to know how much it would cost to get a car like this 🤔

Nothing different compared to a stock engine. Just because it’s making more power through using parts with a much more advanced technology compared to tech that was available in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, doesn’t mean it’s more prone to fire. Mine has a fire extinguisher mounted under the dash, and I keep up with regular maintenance.

I was driving my father vw 1961 then he replace it with vw 1973 was a great car 2:51

Nice bug. Wish I caught this bone before it was sold

I like it up more but I guess it’s CG would increase roll over.

I am all for recycling. So use the engine from a car where the body is totaled and the body from a car where the engine is dead. So did not listen, but is this a refurbished engine? New engines should be electric. Or at least do some fun stuff, like a scaled down (hi-octane to ease cooling) flat-6 or even a 120° V6 .

@@ArneChristianRosenfeldt don't know but I get where you are coming from. I once had a 64' ford that blew up and I had a wrecked 76' Chevy with a 350 in it. I put the engine and transmission in the Ford. Had to make some mounts and get the drive shaft modified but it worked. Also here in Kentucky I've seen a lot of saw mills with just about any engine that will run hooked to them.

How much would it cost for that 65 beetle motor and suspension set up? I would be interested once I find a beetle within the next few months.

THey ride like crap when they are that low

I like the bug a lot. I really am NOT a fan of lowering the suspension on something that is supposed to be a daily driver kind of car. Show car? Absolutely, but a car that is expected to navigate roads in TX, especially ones with possible potholes and or speed bumps? No thanks. Just my opinion and yeah I know everybody's got one. You buddy over there got a Karmen Ghia in as good a shape as that bug?? I'd be all over it especially with a decent (not outrageous like 200+ HP) power upgrade. That bug must have been sold beforehand since it isn't in the inventory and doesn't show on the previously sold.
