Your lovely words about the Beetle blended very well with the visual aspects thrown-in! You obviously adore the Beetle - an icon of our time,and will be an era which will never be repeated. For this very reason, grab yourself a Beetle before they all become too valuable to own! In my opinion, the Beetle of any age or marque, was the first real Porsche in disguise! I rescued a burnt-out (engine fire) '71 Beetle from being crushed in a Car Scrapyard. Honestly, a real wreck! On its' side and red rust had formed all over the rear of the car from the inferno that caused "The Scrap Yard Detention Centre" to be its' permanent and deadly ending. I paid AUD 500 to the Scrapyard to release this 'wreck' into my care. I had never owned any VW car at all, but the 'wreck' cast its' spell upon me. As you spoke, you said that "I didn't find the Volkswagen, but the Volkswagen found me". This Scrapyard Wreck of a '71 Beetle really took hold of me in the same manner - it found me! I will finish off by writing that (in the first 12 months of restoration), it was a beautiful Learning Curve in understanding not just the seating or bodywork, but the whole car - inside out. Car cost to restore was AUD 14K. In the fifteen years of ownership, with a full engine rebuild way back in 2005. With Electronic ignition (No Contact Breakers points to set, and the timing is extremely precise) was most probably the best thing that ensured that the Beetle started first time, every time. My Beetle has become almost a family member, and the thrill of ownership does not diminish, but grows over time.........Your words are also very prophetic: "Sometimes we change a car, and sometimes we find the car changes us" This really applied to me and the influential Beetle! That's my story for you.Greetings from Australia.

More VW beetle stories, please. I get so happy when I see them. My first car will be a Bug, in 6 months, after getting my drivers license and finishing school.

1967. My favorite year. 12 volt, more power than the older Bug's with 90% of the original design intact and unmarred by safety bumpers etc. Decades ago my friend had a white 67. He did what I never really indulged in with the few older air cooled VW's. He put a moderately larger big bore kit in it. Along with tubing aftermarket performance exhaust and a bigger, new single carb. I found out right then how easy it is to wake these air cooled wonders up. A modest big bore kit with no change of stroke probably didn't bump displacement up past 1647 -1700 at best. Felt like those engine mods added 50hp to that engine and made it a much more fun and practical car to drive.

perfect, you simply have to love this car. the shape, the sound, the simplicity... god i wanna have one!

As the owner of a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle in Yukon Yellow, I must say that this video is brilliant. It captures the essence of the car and really gives us a glimpse into the owner's infatuation with it. Also, this is my new favorite channel. You find the cooler old iconic cars that aren't the '65 Mustangs and the '69 Camaros and the brand-new Ferraris or Bugattis. You don't pick the obvious choices and instead opt for far more interesting ones. Kudos to you. Keep 'em coming; I'll keep watching!

It´s the smell of the interior I love!! I´ve had 3 Beetles and a fastback over the years and they all had the smell. I just could not get enough of it!! The other thing was that fantastic whine from the engine, unburstable!!

I slept in the back of my 63 bug. At 6'2" i had to put my legs between the front seats. Also worked changing the radio stations with my toes. In 1959 my dad owned a 57 type 2 pickup he'd haul me my brother around in when I was 6 😁

One of the best cars ever.I had two.

love that center basket. i love how he said, he struggles to keep the bug run straight... coz i do to lol great car sir :D

amazing... Petrolicious you rock!!! and to the owner of the VW Bug, you rock as well, hope that you will take care of her until you have passed it unto a new generation..

I say (about my Super Beetle) "0-60 whenever I get there" Driving the Beetle is a visceral experience! I wouldn't give it up for anything.

Volkswagen Beetle been on the road for 80 years now. its simply legendary, nuff said really!

Good for the soul...I loved all four that I owned.

Your videos are great in general and vintage VW videos are always a treat.

Fantastic car and video!!! You put in words and images what we feel about those great machines!! Thank you for sharing!!

This is fantastic! I totally agree with the comment, "The Volkswagen picked me."

Have one too, 74 - 1200 , and really, these are not cars, these are Volkswagen.. u'll get some great pleasure drivin' one

Great channel. Always appreciate good ACVW videos.

Simpatizei com o carro e com o dono já nos primeiros segundos de video... ótimo carro e ótima história.

Beautiful car! seems like new!

This guy obviously loves and respects his 1967 Volkswagen Beetle. 😊👍👍👍

so clean, so well kept, so majestic.

Very clean 67. I have a 63 myself. When you get it. You get it!

Only the best from you guys, more videos!

you guys at petrolicious are great artist ! no question ! ....

Great story, I enjoy a 71 superbeetle myself!!!

I love that unmistakable aircooled sound so much

Loved it!!

I am a "kindred spirit", too :) (1970 Beetle). It is, after my wife and dogs, the LOVE of my life. I CHOOSE to have it as a DAILY driver.

It's a high performance car. It's just not a fast car." Perfect!

Brilliant car and video

any volkwagen is a good experience :D love this chanel...

My first car was 2 of these,....one to keep the other one going. '62 & '64.

I’ll take it!! LOVE IT!!

I love those cup/bottle holders!

I have 1967 bug too :D it has been sitting +16yrs, hope ill get it running before i get my licence

The VW Bug is such a piece of world history there has never been a car so loved by so many because it was almost always personalized by the owner or the owner and the car became one, if there were any car in the world that touched so many it had to be the bug.

I have a brazillian 66 Beatle, which I had to restore and I enjoy every minute drinving it, even when it crashes in the middle of the street! And I agree, the smell of a beatle is unique

you guys should film a bus

beetles are my favorite car, you did it justice

I love this car, what a good looking ride.

It’s a beautiful car! I’m going to get an early model myself, got a 2014 which is a lot of fun

I love your videos!

That's it?! Just 17 views. Not cool. You guys do great work. Cars, after all, are nothing without people, and our relationship with a car is what defines it as something special.

This channel is so good

You summed it up perfectly what it means and is to have bug in your life. That's handsome bug. 😃

Cool car, cool guy, cool music, nice vid.

Love Beetles!

There needs to be a follow up series on all these videos. Where are they now if they still own them? What they replaced it with?

Ya I think so too! It's great.

simplemente un auto hermoso un avión vuela como camina esa criatura ya quiero uno falta poco❤❤❤

That is a beautiful car! My mom had a 64 bug, and I logged a lot of miles in the passenger seat,.. but unfortunately none in the drivers seat.

Very nice looking little Herbie :D

Volkswagger!

he treats it special lol, i can't see how freely crossing the double yellows could never lead to wrecking it at all.

Iconic design

a "dish drying rack" as a cup holder? lovely car :)

Great !

Ive got a red 71 there awesome

Nice looking.

what's the name of the music in the beginning? THe song name and title

I have 66, I'm a window cleaner in southern California. I carry a 24ft extension ladder, and a 6ft step ladder on top. It takes a licking, but keeps on ticking.

Haha I know :) I think all the videos on this channel are great.

Love the video.... could you please tell me the name of the music in the begining?

Great things about cars everyone has their own taste and every taste is different

Nice car, I hope you don't crash it...cheers

El sedán escabajo (vocho cómo le decimos en México) es el auto más universal, son simplemente extraordinarios los vochos, mi vocho es del año 1990

Howdy...I have subscribed to your channel because of this VW beetle vid you entered. Great, just great! One question: Do you know of one can have an AC installed in a bug, especially in a similar version/year beetle? I know the AC would consume some of the motor's horsepower, but that doesn't matter...speaking for myself. Please inform when you can. I'd site appreciate it. Many thanx...Peace! AladdinSane :-)

What song is this? The introductory instrumental music video.

Ive had My 68 Bug for 5 years. I just Love it. Its unlike anything else Ive ever driven. I really Dig your 67 Bug. L@@ks Cool.

nice

This is a guy who gets it!!!

So when are Petrolicious going to do the other VW classic, the Golf Gti, come on, it warrants a feature, it is the quintessential hot hatch, the first and still the best drivers car, you could feature me, but you'd have supply me with the car, its a dream car, that I've owned, and sadly sold, and have longed to get back. Its been a long love affair, that keeps calling me back, there hasn't been a car made since that stirs me more, other than a 911 Porsche (air cooled only). Its a Volkswagen thang, that some just don't get...I get it, I get it by the truck load! Please do a feature on the mighty Golf Gti.

I wish to have access to roads like yours.

Hermoso simplemente mi vocho es 1990 y no lo cambio por nada en el mundo

Could you do a video of the Citroën 2CV?

What is the first music,tell me please. I really love all of your videos and i drive 1966 beetle:))

This owner is correct - the 1967 is THE year to own. Last year for the slim bumpers, motor now upgraded to 1500cc and 53hp, the first 12 volt electrical system used in Beetles, reworked rear suspension, glass cover over sealed beam headlights eliminated, dual brake system added, new two-speed wipers, new vertical mounting for rear license plate. I, too, would opt for the chrome wheels formerly used on the Porsche 356 but I'd keep the stock 1967 flat hubcaps, and I'd look for an original accessory AMFM mono radio.

what is the song playing at the beginning??? shazam refuses to tell me!

bump! I'd like to know, too.

I miss my dad's 73 baja bug.

Wish I could have a beetle...

I miss my 72...

Nice 67, but the back bumper is not a 67 rear bumper!

It's the only car I'd buy again.

The old split and oval windows are cool but 1967 is my favorite year. 12 volt for the first time and sealed beam headlights. More powerful and all syncro trans. but not the govt. mandated changes that alter the natural evolution. Love to have a nice straight 67 and hop up the engine and trans. to produce 140hp or so. Although i think less power than that would still give me huge grins. Still, it would be nice to be able to pull the front wheels in a couple of gears.

I hate these cars but the way the guy talks about it I want to love it, respect

Does anyone know?

Intro song?!?

Anyone know if these bugs engines are easily serviceable? There is a lot of information about the feel and love of this car, but not much on what its like to have to service it.

I would really like that 67 a lot if he put the correct 66-67 hubcaps and slotted wheels back on it and the correct 67 only window winders. Your bumpers are cheap aftermarket also.

V-dub beetle and Mini cooper possibly the two most iconic cars of the 20th century...?

This video was torture to watch!! I just sold my 69 bug on Saturday. I cried. I'd have sellers remorse except I sold it to a kindred spirit who will treat her good.

Every petrolhead should subscribe this channel!

jeez its only been released a few hours ago....

what was that awesome intro song?

Make a volkswagen MK1 episode!

Bundy's car!!

I just bought a 2016 black. I call it the bat

i have a 65
