Great resto video! My son and I are working on a 69 Ghia that we saved from the car crushers. We have some videos up and will be adding more as we progress 👍✌️

It has been 4 years since I purchased this car. Although seldom used, the car has been a lot of fun and much admired. Ed did an outstanding job. In December 2013 I decided to upgrade some systems. At present the car is in the process of getting all-new wiring and fuse box, re-doing the fuel tank (a bit rusty), starter repair and replacing the bushings for the shift lever. I also experienced some hesitation on acceleration this past summer which needs to be addressed.

That car is in beautiful condition! Our family had a 64 Bug, but it was the lowest trim level. No gas gage, no door map pockets, no radio and a little less interior trim and and all rubber window seals, no plastic inlay and amber colored turn signals. Same 40Hp engine.

The spare is how they came. Never the large white walls. There is a filter in the pump. No need for a leaker dangling above the dist. Really nice. I have a 64 sunroof and 40 years ago my first car was a 64. Small windows!

Nice car, shame you had to sell. I am sure the judges who gave you the trophy know their vw stuff unlike others. Early 64's did (though not all) came out of the factory with the peanut style front turn signals and the small license plate light. It is very possible that they are not only correct but original to the car.

Very nice rig! Lots of attention to detail. I am currently restoring a '64. It's a lot of fun! My bug (named Daisy) has the small license plate light cover (like a '63) but has amber colored front blinker housings (not clear like yours.) I read that VW would sometimes use up whatever they had left from a previous year on the next year models, so it's not always crystal clear what model year the bug is until you run the numbers.

@dog01b52 3 жыл бұрын

Also the Blinkers should blink at the top of the rear tail lights and the stop are at the bottom. My 64 has a wide rear license plate light and wider front indicators with amber.

Beautiful restoration but to pick a little, the front turn signals are from 63 as is the rear license light assembly. I had a new 63 in ruby red also, and I remember it well. Wich I still owned it.

@dog01b52 3 жыл бұрын

@@alpca682 Agree, I have a 64 that my dad purchased in 64. It has a wide license plate light and wider front Turn indicators with amber lenses. So is that a early 64 and the production run changed or it's really a 63 purchased in 64? I don't remember the firing order also being labeled on the generator stand.

We had a 63 red bug. Maybe someone knows -- when did VW start using the "straight up" headlights instead of the contoured ones? Was that 1965-66? I know they had them in 67 because we owned a 67 bug.

Early '64s had the peanut turn signals up front and pope's nose license light. My June '64 has the bigger turn signals and wider license light holder.

@brianchisnell1548 5 жыл бұрын

I have a '64. Made Sept. '63 metal sunroof, round side mirror, Pope's nose license plate light, large front amber turn signal lights. Looks like a '63 until you see the sunroof. Transitional period.
