Looks exactly the same as my neighbours car back on the low 1980’s. Tried to buy it as he was over 80 but he wouldn’t. So I bought a 1959 model. Awesome car, but had to sell it as had a kid and no seatbelts.

I, too, bought my first car when I was 18. It was when I had just turned 18 and got my driver's licence. It was a model 1967 (like this one?). Anyway, it had the flat hub caps and slanted headlights (the vertical headlights were introduced on the model 1968, as were the flat bumpers). I bought the car for money earned as a farm hand, and I was sooooooo proud. :-):-). The color of mine was Lotusweiß. I, myself, am a model 1950, and the remaining growth on my head is about the same color as that which I see on your avatar. :-)

My first car I bought second hand....same color, etc. Great to see it again. My mom's 71 VW Beatle was burnt orange and looked like a pumpkin.

Beautiful old car. It pretty much just needed a good wash and polish as it was stored in a nice barn and was in great condition to start with. I love it 😊

I don’t think so, the barn is dusty, not damp. The paint has blemishes consistent with that sort of storage. Obviously the car was in good condition when it was stored. A car in that condition would more than likely have body seals in good condition beetles are reasonably air tight hence lack of dust in the interior. A good find and happy to see it cleaned up and hopefully back on the road soon.

Never seen a car in that era so clean in my life especially the interior absolutely incredible

Looks like my first car! I loved that car and wish I had another one. Crazy what a little love and attention can do. Great job!

@@surlycrosscheck1 ... I have personally found cars sitting for a decade or more and other than dirt, they were fairly pristine. Where the dry rot issues show up is in a year or so after people use it, and things get shaken up. Of course, those old seats are not filled with foam rubber, they are horsehair. Tires are another story. They will hold air and roll long after they are not safe to drive on. Anyway, on a few of the cars I had to deal with (newer than this) the seats went to dust about a year later, after being exposed to daily use and sunshine.

You did a very nice refurbishing on that barn find. Looks great and should be a pleasure to drive that as well... Thumbs Up!

I had that exact year ('66) Beetle. It's readily identifiable by certain features. I wonder about the mechanicals and how many miles/km are on it

She cleaned up nicely. Not sure why you wouldn't take off the license plates and make it easier....Hope she's running and back on the road soon!

I had a 1966 VW in 1971 and it had the 1300 on the back just like this one. I loved that car!

Amazing. Miss owning my 1974 Super Beetle. Thank you.

This car brought back some memories. I had a 1966 VW Beetle 1300 that I drove to Guadalajara, Mexico when I went to school there in 1971. After driving it there for few years it was stolen from in front of the house I was living at the time to never be seen again. When I bought it a VW independent mechanic check out the engine and put in slightly larger pistons. It was in effect larger than the normal 1300 and would really move being so light weight. Great fun car to drive.

@curbozerboomer1773

9 ай бұрын

Back in the day, putting slightly larger pistons in was common...and also adding an aftermarket exhaust/header, made a decent difference...just doing those two things could give you an extra 5-10hp---making a Bug a more fun car to drive. I did that to my 1962 Ghia...it really made that little car feel sporty! Some guys would go nuts, and install more powerful engines...but then the mpg would drop.

Nice job, good to see it looking so clean! What was that polish compound you used on the bodywork? Seemed to work like magic!!

No.... Dirt runs off easier on a cleaner surface and if you start from the top you would rinse the chemichals away making it harder for the dirt to loosen up!
