Same here!

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.

made in west germany bro 😎🤓

I had a 68 1500 12volt for 13 years. To this day I rate it as the best all round, rugged, and most reliable car I have owned. I deeply regret selling it.

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. :-)

Barns aren't dry. Barns have rodents. Hmmm

This wassn't a resto... it was a cleanup. The car was in pristine condition to start with.

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.

That interior is a dead giveaway that this car is NOT a barn find. The whole thing was staged.

I expect em to hook up a battery and fire it up first try.

@@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.

@@surlycrosscheck1 ... I thought the covers were fake fur / wool (cheap fleece material) which would have been fairly common 30 years ago. It holds up well, but the elastic would be toast by now.

I was thinking the same thing. Just needed a wash job.

You're wrong,the car was treated carefully

It’s almost like it has been staged. Interior is immaculate with seat covers but no cover on the car? Odd.

My thoughts exactly. Four excellent tires and a clean motor with no spiderwebs anywhere.

This is absolutely faked.

Unfortunately, they don't make 'em like that any more. That,s what I think we should be making now instead of all these electric pieces of crap. I owned a couple of those old "Bugs" back in the day. They were "bullet proof"!

К сожалению она красилась. .Это видно по проставкам из резины между кузовом и крыльями,которые не захотели снять перед покраской

Sleeper, one of my faves

most of those accessories were available in the USA as well.

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! You should always start from the bottom when rinsing/shooting away chemichals! When you rinse away the "handwash soap" its ok to start at the top.

@@eriks825 said like that it makes sense. Thanks for educating me. 💯

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.

Some of those older Bugs came with gas heaters!...They were banned in the USA...But my wife's grandma owned a 1960 Corvair, that had a gas heater...It was just awesome!

On models sold in Canada (at least in the 1950s), the gas heater was automatically included. 😂

I was hoping to see this comment....Thanks for that.

I could see daylight through the boards ! Should have been rodents, droppings, rust

Barns are not dry. Barns have rodents. No rust ? Hmmm

My first car was a 1968 Beetle. I got it in 1972 and it didn't look nearly this good.

They didn’t even check to see if it is a runner or not!

I could be staged, they painted the car and put some dirt and poo on it... youtube is starting to be a "makebelieve" world for ratings...

Mudguard piping ( in yankee speak “ fender seals”) were ALWAYS in body color NEVER black

No mice/rat damage? Hard to believe, after sitting for 25 years.

Electrified????? Please no 😮😢

Amazing that the engine was still in good shape?...Those beetle engines usually needed a rebuild after 100 thousand miles, if not before that!

I used www.gordetmedrw.se products for the wash and rupes products for the polishing.

So funny, I know exactly what you mean; you could be blindfolded, put into ten different cars - you'd know right away which one was the Volkswagen.

And you know that it’s “staged” how?

I don't know it's staged, but I know that isn't an 'original' car. There are lots of inconsistencies in the age of components fitted to the vehicle and IMHO that's unusual for a barn find.

It’s not staged, 100% real. There is no meaning to create staged stuff when good non-staged cars exist.

I would have a look at the fuel reservoir first. The gas had time to turn into syrup.

Love these cars! Would have liked to see if it runs as well!

Der ginge schon als Neuwagen durch. Der wurde nie verhunzt, Alles sorgsam geschutzt. Selbst die innenpolstersitze schauen aus wie neu. Da ist Dank der schon Bezuge nie etwas abgenutzt. Solch einen Käfer findet man vieleicht noch in einem Museum der noch niemals auf der Straße war. Alle Autohersteller stellen sich die ersten Wagen rüber für ins Museum.

Lucky he was not totaled too! Not a good car to be in, when it gets hit.

What color is that "Oatmeal Puke No.13"

@@robertdominguez1304 I like the color

Not truly identical. This is a '66 which has certain identifiable features.

The 1300 cc (actually 1285 iirc) engine wasn't used until 1966. It was an upgrade year from the previous 1200 cc.

Thank you! This one is a 1966.

Sie sprechen mir aus der Seele. Der Käfer hat mich nie nie nie im Stich gelassen egal zu welcher Jahreszeit . Ein wirklich gut erhaltenes Stück der oder die Vorbesitzer haben es gut gepflegt 👍💯🧐

No, the 1300 sign on the back was from much later after 1970. We had a 1964 VW my dad picked up from Germany and took to Tucson, AZ. We used it for years and years, it was our teenager car back then

@@emsnewssupkis6453 No, look at the taillights, interieur, bumper and headlights. Also this Beetle got no door for the fuel cap, so it must be earlier than 1967. The 1300 was built from 1965, so ist must be a 1965 or 1966.

@@GettingNervous Then it wasn't 1964 like our car

This is early 60s

It is a 1966 first registred 1966-07-29
