As a bug owner, this is how you modify one of these. Keep the outside stock and stupid clean. The upgrades are usable, unique, and not too flashy. Much respect from NJ

you did tastefully done with your volkswagen beetle. this is what I want to do what you did in modification yes yours just same mine.

Air-cooled gang rise up (o\!/o)

One of the best Bugs I have ever witnessed on KZfaq.

Thought it was Ken Block at first glance

Lets hope Jay Leno does a show on this car. Very nicely done

This is the posture that all drivers of lowered bugs eventually acquire while driving.

What a great car and the sound too.

I have a 1967 beetle with a 1915cc. I love when y’all feature Vw’s.

I dig it, big$ build and did it with his dad on weekends. -67 dual carb (single port) owner

About time an aircooled VW is featured! Thanks!

Nothing like a nice clean bug...

I love listening to people talk about their project cars whenever they’re done and you can see the love they have for automobiles in their tone and how their own personality always shows itself in the car it’s something special

That Ladys and Gents is one lovely Bug. Other cars are maybe yachts but this is a love boat.

Absolutely beautiful Bug! I learned a lot of new tricks that I'd like to do to my 59 right hand drive beetle! 🐞

Amazing job with this 63. Love the styling, the colours, the upgrades, and the choices made in terms of which stuffs are kept stock or customized. Much respect. Warm Greetings from Indonesia.

Beautiful car, beautiful work. Can really see the passion and effort that went into this. Awesome!

the headliner is the measure of any resto,its the first thing i look at,some guys spend mega bucks on a car only to have a crappy rag in the roof ,nice job !!!!!!!

Can’t help but smile when you’re driving an air cooled bug!

When i was in the Army my friend brought his Bug back from California. It was the first time i was in one. I kept laughing as we drove around. It felt like a clown car. It was laughter of joy really. I loved the simplicity and the vintage feel. It was a 60s flat black with red interior back in the late 90s. Looking back now it was a really nice car. California car so it had no rust at all. I think the top rolled back or that was the next plan. I can't remember.

The color grey and wheel choice/stance is absolutely beautiful. Good decision on the stock look of the entire car. It brings me back to my childhood in Brazil where literally everyone had a bug back in the 80's.

Without a doubt the nicest beatle I have ever seen. Greetings from australia

Very slick car and very true about the electronics accessory part about pausing the cars time period when adding more modern stuff like that

I would love to see more aircooled VW stuff here. The DKP guys have the dopest cal-look VW's. A club feature on them would be awesome.

Just bought a 1968 Beetle and I am so excited to start working on it. We also want to do everything in our garage all the way down to painting it!! Wish us luck :)

Awesome and pure gear head! thx for sharing. Outstanding work from the owner and yes larry great shots as usual

Love everything....the driver seat . Is not a driver seat. Let Jay hold onto it ,because he HATES anybody to throw out and parts. A good seat for a performance car..... I'm not a truck guy at all...but the closing montage that I call it a "Raptorsaurus " sounds KICK ASS jumps like its made of carbon fiber, and JUST ,Gets It ! In the montage!!! LOVE- IT !

Good job Larry Chen

4-wheel disc, "freeway flyer," and a 1915cc with dual carbs; My '63 has the same combination, but Chris car (which is gorgeous) is worlds apart from mine. Lots of good details here, especially the "sync-lok" throttle linkage system and the detailed BRM's; such an underrated VW wheel option. I love how he kept the dash stock with a correct Saphire I. Also the VDO gas gauge became standard on U.S. cars in '62, so it would have been standard by '63. Regardless thanks for showing the ACVW world some love Hoonigan!

Your Beetle is so Fresh and Clean 👍

never seen a slug bug move like that... rad little car, I don't see many driving around now like I did in the 80's& 90"s

I have a 63 with the crest so this video makes me very happy 😁

The color is incredible. And the Lambo against the city skyline in the outro is beautiful.

“No seat belts? Oh I see why you need that crest” 😂

Saint Christopher. the Saint for Travelers. GREAT touch .i love that :0)) such an awesome looking car. GREAT Job.

Bugs aren't my thing, but i can appreciate the build on this. Very tasteful, high quality build. Well done.

this right here - bug goals!!!!

Such a perfect build. I have a 68 and he chose the best options that you can for a bug

Freaking killed it on the wheels!!! Never seen the BRM's blacked out that way. I can see it becoming a new trend.

Very nice car. * '67 DOKA owner

What a beautiful car!!!

Owned, several VWs & I don't miss driving in the slow lane. But, I definitely miss those car's.

My college buddy had a 1963 Beetle. Driving down the highway in a crosswind was scary fun. Very nice build.

The BugTech Shifter is awesome for sure.

Very well done 63!

My dream Bug!!! Man that thing is beautiful!!!! Great video

This totally reminds me of my 1967 vs bug I carried a trombone case in the back and seeing that case brought back some major memories of my first car. I have a 240z I want to build but this could make me changing my mind

Hey Chris, beautiful Bug, nice build! And the great sound of the weber induction and the flat for!

The throw on that shifter is amazing...!

It has been a long time since I've been in a Bug. I see decent looking older Bugs from time to time. And I always think..." I should look into buying one." Very cool ride.

Cool bug, thanks.

Nice VW Bug, it Looks fantastic and the Sound is amazing

Love Bugs! Can never get enough of them.

Love that steering wheel and oldschool dash unmolested. Time machine!

Beautiful build, keep up the amazing work!

Best. Episode. Ever. Thanks Larry!

Beautiful bug! What a cool owner too! So handsome!

Lovely ride! 35 years ago with my 1st Cal-looker it was all about shaving stuff and chrome off. A stock restored body on the deck looks rad in my eyes. Sweet colour too!

This was one of the best Auto Focus videos.

Thats one cool bug he has built

Dude this definitely is a super cool project. Looks and drives great. Love it

Had a 1959 bug - in 1967 I took it to the prom and tricked it out with Paisley rear seat covering and chartreuse bathroom tiles behind the rear seat. I grew babiesbreath flowers in the ashtray. Needless to say my prom date and the couple we doubled with thought it was pretty cool.

you can really see how proud he is of his VW

The BRMs are bad ass! So cool and it runs pretty amazing as well! Perfect for me!

Hey man nice bug I had 2 “67” and miss them every day. In Gene Berg fashion I had 48ida carbs on mine. I always wanted the berg5 in mine. Nothing sounds better than a bug at 6500+RPM! Keeping it stock looking is how I did mine too. Beautiful!!!!👍👍👍

Looks great with the stock look and all the chrome!

The bug and bus are the greates VWs ever made. Cannot change my mind.

very,very nice job one of the best ive seen,subtle and sweet ,i owned over 70 bugs over the years always did most of my own work ,had a 53 oval in all black 1904cc twin 40s went like stink but the handling was not great !!!!!!!!! good luck with all you do well done !!!!!!!!!

I’ve never seen such a short throw in a shifter before. Between the gears it looks like there’s only about an inch and a half of travel max. Pretty cool.

I want that bug!!!really sweet video!!

Nice car. I always like beetles, I think they are great cars. I also like the interior, as I say: simple and functional, just the necesary knobs or switches. I like the color of the interior. Beautiful car. Fifteen years ago, a beetle could be my first car

so much want.... I so want to rebuild an older VW... I had a 72 bus and 71 squareback I wish I never sold.. on the hunt and this video just makes me lust...

Yo Hoonigan. I love you guys I genuinely do. Hoonigan autofocus has quickly become the best shit ya'll put out. Larry you the shit bro

Absolutely beautiful car, well done.

Larry___GREAT VIDEO! Your buddy had a 'Resto Custom' Beetle that you went in, doin' the 'Gene Berg' Rally. Incidentally, l built the very first 'VW Show Car' to do the Australian VW Show circuit in the summer of 1985____bought it for $400 in orange house paint in Cranbourne from a former 'Buggy Association' member who decided to put 'one' away 9 years earlier! The car, a 1955 Oval, was 'Johnny Bee' Good' that was completed 40 days after purchase, then driven on the next Saturday arvo, driving with freshly bolted 14 and 15 inch chrome wheels with Michelin XVS tyres and twin carbs on the original engine with original exhaust!!!! We arrived 11 hours later into the South Australian Caravan Park where we would stay the night before the car's first ever showing. Total Cost of Build: $2000 [including Car] It featured a ton of accessories____MotorMeter 3 gauge cluster in dash, pop-out windows from my 1954 VW Rally Beetle that competed in 1958 in Tumut, NSW, short-shift 'ShpareWolfe' [sp] locking gear stick, 19mm sway-bar from the Rally car, including the front -beam suspension stiffening bars that triangulated the front ends____A VW Australia Factory standard issue item on their 'Race-Cars' of the 1950's when they consistently won Redex Rallies in that decade beating out the big car brands like Holden and Ford! BTW l knew the great VW Beetle drag Racer of the 1960's who 'slayed' the BIG cars____Ken Virgin is a hero of mine! On a side note, l published the look of 'Johnny Bee' Good' in 1987 in the magazine 'In Type' by the Club 'Type VW' The look was titled 'Classic Custom' loosely, as the Club had just transitioned from the name 'Volkswagen Custom Club' and besides this car was, as far as l know, the first to wear 'Custom' on it's 'BumbleBee' deck-lid; the chrome badge taken from the 1966/67 VW Australia model called '1300 Custom' Four years later, 'VW Trends' published an almost identical image with similar details on what constituted 'Resto Custom'____Funny That! Johnny Bee' Good went on to win 'Car Of The Day' award in SA, first time out, then continued to drive to major events around Australia for the next 12 months, once even meeting Gene Berg and his Family at 'The Volkswagen Spectacular' at Nambucca Heads in northern NSW___AMA2!NG PEOPLE! BOY____THAT WAS A MOUTHFUL!!!!! :)

Great car and a cool guy.👍👍

Sweet Bug! Awesome photography/videography

What a fun little toy!!!!

That is a rad bug! Good job dude!

Dak Dak! Love the paint choice too.

I completely agree 100% with your staying with the stock styling on the body. The Cal Look was popular back in the 80s when I was first getting into VWs but it got old and boring after a while. You can't argue with keeping things the way the original designers intended.

That is so cool man. I love it. So freaking sweet

That outright though!!! Nice work!

Just wow 😮 so pretty/badass at the same time. Cheers!

Beautiful 🤩

Very nice VW. Been in many like it but 120hp is sick. Thx for the view

My dream has always been to own a 63 or older. I had a 71 in high school but it was never what I wanted. One day...

Love the sound!

I should've bought that damn Beetle years ago 😅 I've always loved these things, and the Bus of course, but definitely need to eventually get one of these.

Man I love that shift

Wow this sounds great. Beautiful car.

Oh that 996 turbo parked back there, awesome. The vw is great too

No patina!!!! So much love!

Really like that suitcase audio setup.

Awesome Beetle bug😎👍

First, HUGE respect to the owner/builder. That car is beautiful man. Really fantastic work - for real. For those who know air-cooled, were you as shocked as me after all that perfection to see just how much tin was missing out back? Wowza. To those that don't know the way these engines were designed, this isn't a criticism, the engines just NEED the tin to stay cool. At least he's got the gauges to monitor temps but they're useless once he closed to glove box. That car is gorgeous though. Hopefully he seals that engine bay up that that motor lasts longer. LOVE that car.

Very nice.......hard not to recognize my home town too!

I absolutely love vw bugs

Beautiful build!
