Finally a beetle, i have seen beetles modded to be either supercar porsche-like, a lowrider-type cruiser or offroad buggies. I was surprised you didnt cover any beetles, until now. There is so much mod potential, engine swaps are usually modded stock engines, other volkswagen engines, LS or wankel rotary, various V8s and V6s, inline-4s, porsche engines, Subaru impreza engines, turbocharged and supercharged, and nowadays electric motors man these have a lot of potential

That is the cleanest, sickest Volkswagen I've seen. Absolutely a work of art. Love the color and the white interior is nice.

These will never go out of style. This is rad. Nice build.

I love these old school beetles.

Probably my favorite Bug ever!! Beautiful build. Great video!!

And the color is perfect for that warm California sun. And I dig that aesthetic, whoever has the most louvers wins. :)

I had a 67 in Highschool, I could only dream of it being this nice.

That's a piece of art from the 80's. Never run out of style

Thanks for the inspiration- just picked up my first VeeDub and it’s Cali style. Love the fact this beauty has been with you since 15. Hope my son keeps his that long and sees this one day.

My first car was a bug, 3am one morning I missed judged my handbrake skid and hit the churchyard wall at about 70 mph complete right off, but that car saved us, no one hurt, built strong 💪 I did have another one and absolutely loved it!! 🇬🇧

Love the history of this. My first car in HS was a Cal Bug. Great affordable way for a youngster to get into customizing.

I use to have 62 convertible turbo in 1983! Love this bug! Looks like 80’s style

You kept the essence of a Vw by not swapping a Subi motor into it. Very nice. I have a 63 Rag with a 2276 and dual 48IDAs. Hawaiian Bug! Cheeee doggeh!

What a freaking awesome bug! Love those lowered with air ride and bright paint! Show and go all day.👌👍😎

Snug as a bug in the rug 🤙🏼

Very cool build, every inch of that car has been touched. and as a Honda guy who owns a 67 beetle as well I like the seats a lot.

67 best year....12 volt electrical system....I had 5 VWs but my 67 was my favorite...I bought a 71 1600 motor from the junk yard and built it...It had 100 HP...I had alot of fun racing it...It looked stock...It would chirp third gear and wheel hop 1st and 2nd...

When i first went to high school.... Ours went 10th-12th , i was in 10th grade but only 14 and had to ride the bus some until i could find a friend to ride to school with .... Anyway there was this group of juniors that all had bad ass bugs and parked and hung out right in front of our school. I have loved bugs every since. Close i ever had was had a fiberglass body dune buggy called the Boon Duggie. It was titled as a 62. I am stoked with how he has this car set up. Sweet. Oh yeah by the way i bought my first car a 67 mustang for 950 bucks summer between 10th and 11th grade. So i actually started driving to school when i was 15 before i even had a license. Was only barely 17 when i graduated. Was married with a kid on the way too. Grew up fast. Way too fast to be honest but i did it.

Sickest VW Bug I've seen in many years.

Awesome Story from the guy 👍🏼 And what a nice job on his Beatle, then the motor super neat !

Cool bug the stance workmanship is awesome and love the orange paint

As much as I HATE VW bugs but I hate to admit that this one is Awesome 👌

That's a bad-a$$ '67! Man, I miss my custom '59 baby window ragtop with 2110cc. Still got seller's regrets 15 years later :(

DAMN! That is a beautiful Bug! Well done!

Man in the late 70s and 80s bugs were really cool little cars, and was offered one to buy a friends real clean 70, but me being 6'5 made it a little bit 😝 tight to drive, awesome memories back then driving up and down Mulholland drive. Also, what I remember parts for the bugs were cheap, a new or very clean used fender would sell for 10 used 18-22 new and some crazy lol😂 just the perfect little project for a high school kid starting out with his or her pride and joy. Such a cool time 👍🤘🤘😎❤ Drive safe big kahuna.

Very nice car great color choice,I had a 1968 as my first car lots of cool memories off the little bug 👍

This car just looks absolutely stunning , like it a lot !!

What a nice looking machine. Love that he’s owned it so long. Suicide doors are sweet!

Damn!!! That Is Incredible!!! Best looking Bug I've ever seen. Amazing!!!

This bug is probably the best I’ve ever seen super cool and i bet it handles good and fast too

The true is I’m not a Volkswagen lover, but this one looks amazing I given A+👍

Badass ride! I miss the '68 I had in high school.

Such a sweet build! 🍊 👍👍👍

OG draw through turbo with the modified Weber carb single barrel. I had a similar set up DCOE WEBER 28mm chokes for better throttle response with the Rayjay turbo 1st gen Turbnetics Delta Gate driver adjust boost, Mk1 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Ford Kent made about 175hp pump gas, but if you put 100 octane or real leaded gas in easy into the 200hp range with 1580 lbs car lol

Very cool!! We're doing a 73 right now.

Beautiful paintjob also. Greetings to San Pedro from Long Beach (and my '71 411 squareback says hi!)

Saw this one at the Grand National Roadster Show, super nice build, definitely an inspiration for me! Hopefully we can together for my squareback once it's done 😉

I would love to turn one of these into complete 997 Gt3. Just body and interior from the Bug and everything else from GT3. Bug is such a great car with great potential.

Very very nice!Cool guy with a cool ride. 🤙🏼

Gotta appreciate a cool Bug 🐞🏁

That has got to be one of the best bugs out there good job when I go to a car show this is what I want to see

Bad ass hotrod! Looks like the orange from the Lamborghini’s. Very nice build

Looks really sharp!❤👍😎

Stunning beetle. You just don't see anything like that here in the uk. 👍

The Maybach of Beetles

I like everything except the misaligned deck lid & the broken rear axle look...aside from that, it's a rockin' little bug...

Thanks.... simply a beautiful VW , very tastefully done.👍👏 I love it!!! Thanks again!

my father had tons of cars...Then he found his 69 bug that he got thru work trade...LOVEED that thing till the day he died....Literally....at 73 he died of CA with his 69 spit shined in the garage...Loved it!!!He had beemers, fords, volvos, suburus..you name it....He love the bug.....

In general I not like Chopped Vw Beetle, i prefer it with stock lines buth damn This is a Piece of art, I really like everything on this Beetle (probably because is made whith passion) Great Job!

Thats how u build a bug! Build it like a street rod!

OMG!!! Gorgeous dude, 😍😍😍, hi from México 😎😁🤟

Nice! Half expected to see another LS victim. Glad it still has the VW engine.

Beautiful tuning!!!

Nice that he's had it all these years, its a beautiful car 😎😎

These cars are FUN to drive. I've owned a WV type 3 squareback. It was shortened 10cm in the back. The roof had bin lowered 5 cm. The entire car was lowered on 5 spoke chrome rims. It was shaved all over and had, what I believe was an old Porsche replica front on it. Central locking system and power windows. It was double carburated and had a sports exhaust, which made it scoot, since it only weighed around 1750 pounds. And man it turned head. I truly wish I never sold it. About this bug though, I understand the competition he explained about the venting holes. But the hood is over done (in my opinion). But those venting lines in the front fender looks absolutely killer! The entire build is just a completely unique little bug, I wanna bet every one turns their heads to see. Very cool car!

That is one badass bug. I love it.

Beautiful bug !!!! Well done 👍👍👍

Wow that’s a cool, clean build

Really cool! Too many modern parts though, but they could all be swapped easily, with a more vintage look it would be absolutely badass👍🏻🖤🏴‍☠️

Review John Reynolds bug. That thing is faster than anything you have driven guarantee.

Pimpin’ and would drive that any day!

That's a clean Bug!

Sharp looking bug!!

Great car and a great background story

Nice bug!, the best one I've seen...

That's a top notch beetle right there.

King of bugs

Putting my 1972 Volkswagen type three fastback back on the road. Thanks for the inspiration. Of course I won’t be altering it from its original state it’s just lowered And I’ll buy an extra engine for horsepower

amazing animal

That’s a badass bug🔥

First car I ever drove was a VW, 15 learning to drive, did so - so , didn't like changing gears, Automatic gas guzzler for me !! One thing the new VW will never beat the Classic !! 👍

This car is so damn cool! I love it!

La verdad que está muy bonito como está NICE 👏👏

Need more bugs!

Quarantine Cruise!!! lol.....Now we know we've arrived!! lol

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love those Suicide Doors !!! And how the roof is chopped !!!!

Even that color had me buggin out man! #Trippy Friend had one back in high school, that gutless thing was so much damn fun to bomb around in and drive like clowns in a Circus with. LMAO

That's one Bug that makes Porsche look second best

Thats the cutest little turbo i ever saw

Wicked Bug. And i get the Hook but that is some final destination-level carisma

It's awesome carvery nice 🙌👏

Saw it at the last show. Loved it

That’s super clean Orange Crushing VW style

A honda 6 speed would make that lil monster happy. My first car was a 67.

Such a cool car.. 😎👍

V-Dubs are cool they are low to the ground, wonderful fenders and you get feedback from the ground up oh ya and style.

Nice VW 👍

I remember this WAS the thing when I was in high school in So Cal.

one of my favorite cars is the VW Notchback from this era. You don't see many of them.

Beautiful car. That extreme rear camber looks like it broken.

I absolutely can't stand the look of the 45 degree camber on the rear but that is one clean sweet ass bug.

Love bugs LOL was my first car as well a 1964. Love it wish I still had it

Totally awesome!!!!i. Love 2 own that!!!

Currently saving a 72 from the crusher. So much work but she's MINE.

Outstanding

Not a buy guy,But I like this one

Awesome!

Beautiful Beetle....but I want to see that Caddy poking out at 5:44

Awesome Ride❗⭐⭐⭐⭐
