Volkswagen Beetle on the highway

[jeffersondavis]

My stock '66 with the original 1300cc motor has been up to 75. That's as fast as I'm willing to push it. :)



[JacktheCat005]

I don't like the beetle, I LOVE THE BEETLE, I WANT THAT TO BE MY FIRST CAR.

[Hordak81]

My 73 gets up to 90 on a flat road. Had it up fast 100 going down a steep hill

[home227]

yo im !7 years old and working toward getting my license. and i cant wait, because the old VW bug is the only car im looking forward to driving. i already have one to. yours is nicer though. mine is not that old school. mine is 1974 super beetle, white. i cant wait to drive it. anyway good luck with yours!!!!!!! ;)

[6662slugbug]

I do over 80 in my 62'. I dont know if it is the original transmission but it does well for me as a daily driver.

[blackmaxx04]

how tall are you? I'm 6'2 230lbs looking for one

[amjovi]

Sound lovely, what's the topspeed?

[MrBrombomb]

Ahhhhhh.... Nothing like an old Beetle. Fun for road trips. My friend has a 1963 Beetle with a radio & the peel-back sun roof. Nice car!

[Sarcasticscum]

Dude, I would seriously stroke out that bad boy and out-run the locals.

[BlackSabbath109]

the 1965 bug doesnt have a radio?

I wanna buy a bug that looks like that from the outside all old school but does anybody know which one is the one with a radio with the same exterior style?

[bigguy6100]

@BlackSabbath109 Some 65's had radios, they were and option and the woman that bought this bug new didnt opt for it.

[xxALBERTOxx123]

@BlackSabbath109 get a 70 and up im pretty sure. if you get one that has had some work on it they ussually come with a Aftermarket stereo

[hot2001cam]

Nice Car. Love the way those old aircooled engines sound. VW's rule.

[GatheringSticks]

like your bug and your channel

[TheGizmo4382]

That car brings back memories of my first car. I'm 28 btw. My first car was a '77 bug convertible. I absolutely LOVED that car. I got it as a 16th b-day present. Everyone in my school always bummed rides off me because I guess my car was the "cool" car. I no longer have the car anymore as I had to sell it. But, now I have a Red New Beetle convertible and it's a pretty cool little car. Cost me a fortune but it still gets me to where I wanna go.

[sheps999]

Did any Beetles have 5 gears or 4 with overdrive?

[bigguy6100]

The aftermarket race transmissions have 5 speeds, but I believe all manual transmission equipped beetles from the factory had 4, and in the case of the early ones, 3

[anvil357]

@bigguy6100 I thought that only 3 speeds were for the autosticks. Great looking bug though

[mrKeverfreak]

@bigguy6100 they never had 3

[super71beetle]

"smells like the antique store" lol!!

[bigguy6100]

lol its true. thats the reason i like my old cars like this one and my plymouth, they smell like the antique store. i love that smell

[taterman92]

This just makes me more anxious to get my 66 back on the road...havent driven it in 3 months. It makes me sad.

[kcarman88]

i know what that feels like, my mopars are sitting in storage awaiting the spring, and i miss them to death

[vwbeetleowner]

How is the gas milage? I got a 69 bug i get 32 to the gallon.

[bigguy6100]

Mine consistantly gets between 33 and 34 mpg, usually 33.7 or so.

[EnergyDog23]

"I like it alot" from Dumb & Dumber? =D

[funlovincriminal91]

hahahah:D

[NascarDude383]

u guys r awesome. i'm 13 now, but ever since i was 8, i've always wanted a '63. thanx for makin this video:-)

[SpockOfRock]

Nice job gentlemen. Watching this video makes me want to put my '65 together again. I started restoring it a couple of years ago but got sidetracked. Thanks for keeping the spirit of these cars alive.  Enjoy.

[kafertreiber]

ur a good guy, i like beetles too

[herbienbrian]

I love your 65! I made a 72 look like a 63 ^.^

[Xerxes371]

Woa dude you look like that one guy from that movie tommy boy. Dats awesome.

[ColonialFifer]

I'm 22 and I've always wanted a Beetle. I'm on the hunt for a new car and happen to run across a custom '70 Beetle with 1641 cc engine. I'm planning on doing a test drive this week. If I were to get it it, it would be my main source of transportation. Do you have any opinions on this? I'm reluctant with it being my only source of transportation, but I really don't want a new, plastic car. I rarely driver further than a 30 mile radius and all my driving is mostly highway, with some interstate.

[bigguy6100]

I cant do the interstate with mine, but if you got one with the 1600 you should be able to. If its in good shape, and you are somewhat mechanically inclined I think it would be a good daily driver.

[ColonialFifer]

From the ad, the car seems to be in pretty good shape but I haven't seen it yet. It's a newly installed engine and tranny, new carb, new brakes, new interior, new tires and wheels and even remote entry. It should be interesting to check out.

Beautiful little beetle you have, by the way. I'll let you know how things turn out with it if I purchase it. Thanks for the input.

[starbster]

can i have ur 65 i dont have a Beetle :( and ill put a 1600 engine in it 4 u

[EnergyDog23]

Is it good car for longer distances?

[bigguy6100]

Its pretty good if youre only planning on going 50-55mph. It will go faster, but I dont like to to that. Ive been on several 3 to 4 hour trips with it, and to the beach (5hours round trip) on it. Very very comfortable.

[Patman5678]

nice car! i love it

[rpope1987]

lol. a manly car. that was great.

[AOO08DOYOUHEAR]

Real nice car. But it is a tad small haha. Oh well. We car pool for lunch and I got stuck with two other guys in a single cab ford ranger. Whats even worse is I was the smallest at 178lbs.

[bigguy6100]

Well, actually its alot bigger than it seems inside. It is narrow, but not having an engine up front gives it great legroom, im 6'2 and im stretched out in it, plus the bubble roof gives plenty of headroom

[Motorfordtoyota]

love the beetle dude

[737200LVR]

so if you were riding by yourself how fast could you get on the interstate?

[krankiev]

haulin ass at 45 MPH WOOOO XD fun little car.. put an engine from a hippie bus in it for more power :P

[bigguy6100]

Yeah, it seems like the busses had 1600s, where my beetle has a 1200

[1944johndeerel]

nice vw! must be good on gas!

[bigguy6100]

I the guy i got it from said when he would drive about 45 everywhere it got about 30-35 mpg

[1944johndeerel]

that aint to bad! thats about what i get in my hyundai

[AOO08DOYOUHEAR]

My car gets 14 on a good day. But I can pull trailers with it- I doubt you could with a bug or a hyundai lol

[bigguy6100]

Better than the Wagoneer I had, it got 7mpg

[blazerlover25]

lol at bein sent back in time with no cell tower

[K1ll3rM4st3r]

sounds nice i like the color :)
