Wanna see us tear down this bug's motor to diagnose why it won't turn fully?? Click here! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9h1jc1iybeUfoU.html

You should restore it back to the street rod it once was! Regain / Retain it's former glory! If you want another baja, you can always find a real beater rust bucket to build a baja.

Very cool find in all of it's 80's Cal-look glory. I like it!

That bug is in great shape can't wait to see way more good luck with the engine!

Can’t wait to see what you do with this one. Very cool!!!!

Sweet Find! Congratulations & thank you for sharing.

That thing looks INCREDIBLE! What a find!

The longest I've ever watched someone else wash their car she is beautiful

Awesome find, shined up beautifully. ✌🏼

I love how those old bugs sound. Like they are powered by a souped up bubble machine and when you step on the gas bubbles fly out of the exhaust and linger in the air at the stop light after you've pulled away.

Its an already modified beauty! Very lucky to find it and rescue it!

wow that came up perfect from what it was , Ive got the same Model but a Australian build

Love this old 80th Cal Look Bug. You must restore it in his old 80th Cal Look Shine ❤

My 1st Bug Was A 72' Super That I Bought For $100 In Highschool With A Siezed Engine, Then Worked My $3 An Hour Job To Build A 1776. Enjoyed That Thing For A Long Time!!

The wink mirror decals are dope , don’t discard or DM. Good for you guys 👍

Should have snagged that green Schwinn Suburban too!

the first bug I bought was a 1972 1302S same red color as yours had it for a couple of years and then i traded up to an 1956 callook and i still got the callook 25 years later :). oh don't change the bug keep it as is because it's a time capsule of how u did things back in the day :) :)

Belo FUSCA, vou acompanharacompanhara reforma 👏👏👏😍

It is a beautiful car and I like it very much. Congratulations to those who will revive it and drive it. Good luck, a Moroccan who watched the video from Morocco. Greetings to you.

Nice find, you hit the jackpot

Wow my first bug was the same identical model and colour. My favourite car of all time. Good luck with the project. 😄

Gotta love them super beetles! I got a 71. Their addicting to work on!

That is one sweet find!! My 1st was a '72 Super

Un beau cadeau & beaucoup de travail! Magnifique! Bravo & Merci! *-*

Great job!

my first car was a light blue 1973 super beetle. i wish i still had it, i like all the cars y'all have.

Nice find!! I have a similar fan shroud running an external cooler and if you are moving it was fine. Had to kick the fan on in stop and go traffic but this dub has a little more motor so it may run hotter.

That was my car thru college 1972 VW and still around 49 years later ❤️☝️💯

If it were up to me, I'd keep it Cal Look. Get the engine running again, and refresh it to a good driver state. 👍 Thing is sweet.

I'm from Brasil, this is beautiful!!! Sensational!!!

Looks pretty crisp, What a find!

Wow!! You’ll have a lot of work ahead… What a crime they did in such a fantastic car. I have two fuscas a 74, and a 95. Everething original. Congrats for rebuildind it !!

Looks like you guys are in So Ca. If so, go see John Chabot over at Top Line parts. He is the super beetle guy here. TopLine Performance for any super specific parts. He’s in Placentia/Anahiem industrial area.

That shine looks sweet

Hello, from Venezuela, I've never seen an engine arrangement like this, enjoy it.

Amazing, I luv this car.

Great job....😄😄😄

The girl on the cover photo of this video is so gorgeous and cute it's hard no to fall hard for her. As for the VW Beetle, there's a video somewhere here on KZfaq about a guy who made his Beetle electric, and the result is awesome. Reckon the same could be done with this one. Just something to think about. Good luck guys!

Fusqueta maravilhoso !!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

You folks prove the incredible paint job the factory did on these cars , they can usually be brought back to shine

We always had AudioVox speakers on the rear deck back window in the seventies. Also a nice AudioVox 8-track player up front, and we were styling baby! 👍

Beautiful car

Really nice super. My buddies have a deck lid for that probably if you dont have one. (CHEAP) Put a rear tin on it so it wont run hot.

That paint really came up well! The high back seats are really cool.

Seen you had to wash your car, Now it's raining that same night. ;)

you guys should do a spray can rust oleum paint job on the dust buggy. They can get really good views. you can use spray max clear over it just let it dry pretty good then put the clear on. And it will last pretty good. That clear has a hardener in it so it will make like orange or bright colors last. Could be a big video for your channel.

u have two jewels in your garage, a Honda motorcycle and this Volkswagen Beetle, both of them run here in Brazil, congratulations for the video!!!

Nice find! Greetings from Curacao!

Wow the paint really pops out now, nice job buffing and polishing it

Greetings from Santa Ana Sonora Mexico, beautiful bug

Haha “tuners”. Those are called parametric equalizers or EQ’s. They were all the rage in the 80’s. They allow some “tuning” of the sound signal by specific frequencies. That is the time frame all those cal look mods were done so not surprising to see on that particular car.

Nothing wrong with a super Baja! Nice find

How cool! Makes me want to get my super going too!

Nice find 😉👍🤘

The thing is for me, as an old VW Beetle guy; I could make that thing purr like a kitten. and drive all over the place in comfort! But I digress.

Those Empi rims are bad ass.

Perfect for an EV conversion (sp?) project. It looks amazing.

Nice find!! ♥️Bocho vw😎👍

This pretty I love

I had those wheels in silver spoke on my dumped '72.

Damn that looks great

This is a wonderful find, a beautiful period correct cal look, please take care of it, don't modify it !

Beauty looking forward to following her renovation. Hope you bring her back to her former glory. Here in South Africa, they are getting scarce. Please don’t do anything too drastic. Back to almost Stock would be awesome or cal look like some others have said. Good luck and have fun.

Oh mi Dios que hermoso auto es una joya felicidades ese auto tiene alma y mucho potencial esta padrisimo ✌️😎

Clean it up put good interior it get it running good move the oil cooler down next to the trans. Make it a daily driver sleeper. Make the other one a Dust Buggy 2. Have fun!

The one piece door windows were the California look.

Great find, Lightning Bolt surfboards, shaped by Gerry Lopez, out of Hawaii, was the most legendary surfboard company back in the 70’s & the most dominant board ridden at Pipeline. That sticker is a collector item.

I'm from Brazil, the Volkswagen Beetle is the most popular car here, the Volkswagen Beetle is loved and idolized by all Brazilians, whenever I see a Volkswagen Beetle I say: Volkswagen Beetle, eternal Beetle

I used to paint my old cars up nice and pretty. Now I just drive them the way the paint is. More enjoyable and drive em everywhere without worrying about scratches. That's the whole point. She's a beaut the way it is. Have fun.

Belle piéce ..bon courage pour la réstoration

Um dos vw fusca mais lindo que ja vi na internet otima compra abc...

I miss these beetles roaming around mexico. They've just about gome extinct in the north eastern part I travel to occasionally.

👏🏼🤩 stilozo lindo !

cool little car , be safe friends

I bought my '73 Super when I retired from UPS, this guy's got it backwards.

CUTE VW

I WILL BUY THAT BUG....

I once had two of these cars. I used to call them my T.I.E Fighters

Those are stereo equlizerse..adjust the sound in fine incriments. And one piece windows where never a iotioy in any bug..it's aftermarket glass

Here in Brazil we call it(the Volkswagen) "FUSCA" Nice car👏

Dammm, a 1972 Super Beetle with 8 spoke Empi/American Racing Aluminum Rims. Michelin xzx Tires at least in the front there.... Those were great tires for day

I had one long time ago. I cut it up for Baja look and later regretted I did very much. This car looks way to good to do a Baja look. I'd make a sleeper that's a reliable and fun original appearing car. Good luck, be careful out there, Peace-N- Love...

Great video! Sure do miss my 71 super beetle. She shined up real nice! ❤️ I wish you best with her! Only thing that “bugged” me about the video was the annoying woman talking. 🤷🏻‍♀️

still have my 2275 or 2.3Lts with DRLA 40 /36mm venturis had 253K miles since 1984 rebuild in 2004 with new pop top alum block still have total seal piston rings and now put in A/C with a 14 gallon petrol tank jeff Gordon bought me i drove to Diego from AZ once a month for years about 41.5 MPG highway low compression. and 3.88 tall gears meep meep ....prices are getting crazy up there for any VW bis/bug/Ghia etc....

One for the street, and one for the dirt..

Get rid of that aluminum fan shroud and add a doghouse shroud and oil cooler.

Definitely baja it!

Nice😉👍👌

27 years ago that bug was TERRORIZING neighborhoods! 🔊🔊 I love it 😌🥰

maybe someday ill got my favorite volk one off my fav car..😍

Nice find, 😀. External oil coolers are a bad idea on street cars. Those only work on race cars where the car is constantly moving. All that hose, cooler, even that electric fan is making the engine work harder. Which is easier, sucking honey through 3 feet of drinking straw or sucking honey through 8 feet of garden hose? It puts more load on that tiny oil pump. Get rid of all that external "cooling" and fit a type 4 oil cooler inside the stock fan shroud, the modification is easy. Good luck with it.

Very cool car ! The right rear doesn't look straight from the looks of it. Its not a camber issue. Something looks bent that shouldn't be.

big value

you said look at the dust“ first, in Germany we would say look at the rust“ at first …
