While Herbie in the story is a 1963 model, there were 11 different year models from 1957 -1967 used in the first movie plus junkyard ones used for scenes where Herbie was wrecked or got some sort of damage. They were all modified to look like Herbie and had individual uses. For all of the other movies no one knows the exact amount of beetles that were used but they were all a variety of different years.
For some reason this vidso feels staged to me. The engine looks pretty clean and new for being abandoned for 18 years. The paint doesn't look that bad, and 18 year old dirt doesn't fall that easy. Also, the interios seemed ok, dirty, but why the hell would they pressure wash the interior like that? Flooded in water and soap. Ridiculous
It might be a 1968 to 1970's Beetle because of the Tail light. Restoring a Beetle is no joke. You need time, patience and money to do it right. Mine is a 1968 which is still ongoing for more than 2yrs. Now. I tried my best to keep almost all the original parts of it. Sadly 75% is the only thing I can do because I dont have enough money and some of the parts are really hard to find and very expensive. But once it's finally done it's very satisfying and fullfilling since it's my fathers car which he really love and care when he was still alive. I'm trying my best to make him happy in heaven after I'm done with the restoration of his beloved car 🥰
It would be nice if you knew how to detail in the first place, there was no reason to fill the floor board the way you did. It was a total waste of time and not needed. Learn how to do something before you try, and don't shoot something you don't know how to do.
This is an authentic 1600-S manufactured in Brazil between 1974 and 1975. It could never have been a Herbie. Only 5675 units of this model were manufactured. This car is also known by the nickname "Bizorrão".
Das einzige was dieses Auto mit Herbie gemeinsam hat ist das es ein Käfer ist.Ich bin Österreicher aber ich behaupte nicht Arnold Schwarzenegger zu sein.
It’s been highly modified. It has a split intake with dual Webber carbs. Thats a good indicator it has been “souped up” as they used to say in the old days
Yeah, he's being very stingy with the foaming agent here. If a little does a little good, maybe a few gallons more will do a lot of good....maybe? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had a bug it was one of the best cars I ever owned. Only draw back was the heater . It wasn’t very warm in the winter. But it never let me down. It always got me to where I was going.
I owned a 69 Beetle, bright blue sky color. I loved the fact that everyone was in a rush and faster then me, yet I was satisfied and calm in my sweet bubble. And yeah, in snowy weather or rough terrains, the car never let me down 😊💙🐞
The design of these cars is fabulous. The noise behind you and a gem of an engine, simple yet clever. I’ve worked on them and just a joy. In the UK we had a car called the Morris Minor in the late 50s and 60s. You generally found people loved/hated one or other. I loved the VW and really loathed the Morris which was noisy, uncomfortable, unreliable and, to me a dreadful car despite its designer., Alec Isigonis, being considered a genius. He went on to design the Mini and latter vehicles in the Austin/Morris lineup. I had several and hated them all. Eventually I bought a bug and loved it. You did so well to get this car and did exactly the right thing in keeping it. It look superb with period patina. With its provenance $20k is feasible. Good luck.
Well, in my opinion, you have nice looking sports VW. But, you should always remove all of the carpet first before you ever use any type of cleaners . It doesn’t matter how long the vehicle was sitting … Get yourself a good steam cleaner to use on any and all carpets .. you need to place that carpet somewhere that you know the Sun shines and there is plenty of heat around it… let it set for a couple of days to dry out and check it before placing it back in the car
Back in 91 I bought a 72 super beetle for $300 in excellent condition other than the owner couldn't get the car to start. About 20 minutes with the car and adding a new battery and setting the points I finished the title paperwork with the money exchange. They asked me how I was going to have it towed then I went out started the car and the guy came running out saying he didn't want to sell it although I was already half way down the road and it was to late.
AS VW BEETLE OWNER I JUST KEEP IT. IS NOT A HERBIE IS A BEETLE FROM THE 70S. NOT A SUPER BEETLE FROM THE SPARE TIRE SIT. THATS HOW YOU SEE THE DIFERENCE GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY.
It is clear that after simple research that Herbie was a 1963 VW Beetle. This is a nice Beetle but no Herbie. The dual carb engine is about the coolest thing about it, but not a 20K car, maybe 6K to the right buyer.
That’s a very bold claim calling this bug a Herbie . Herbie didn’t have a scoop on the back and had different colored interior and wheels plus was a completely different year to this one But saying that nice save I would have saved it myself.
That's a 1970 bug. A decent one. Worth $20 grand? I doubt it. Most decent '68-'74 Beetles these days are in the $12-15,000 range. Herbie is a '63 sunroof.
Herbie, well if your all remember had a full webstato type sunroof, not a hard top, lights are wrong, front and back, basically totally the wrong year car
@@DarrenHills-d3enot all beetles were made that way, you either had the option to have a hard top or a sunroof depending on the year soooo yeah, but hey! Good observation, didn’t notice that before :)
I would love to own a beetle. One of my childhood favorite cars. We actually had one and it ran forever. Best little car ever. Sadly they are for to expensive for me to buy now.
This guy not only doesnt know shit about cars. I would never get my vehicle detailed by them. More cleaner doesnt always mean more clean. And im not paying for them to destroy my electricals or flood my engine with water in places it isnt supposed to be. Way to destroy a classic bruh. And like many others stated, that isnt a movie car. Just one someone abandoned.
I'm not sure I would have spray foamed everything like you did but being in Canada I would like to buy it since not many fine specimens exist here anymore.
No sell it, just save us, because this cars a many story and history and rare too. Save it , hard to find this volkswagen again and same condition.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hate to break it to you, but the chances of this being a movie car are pretty slim especially Herbie the love bug just because it’s white doesn’t mean it was in Herbie the love bug. It just means that it happens to be one of the Volkswagen beetles that was painted in the color white. A lot of people owned white colored beetles back in the day. I believe it’s technically called Pearl by Volkswagen
It's a 1600 3:05 engine, has side vents behind the back windows, and the old non round tail lights, which makes it a 1971 model. And there was no 1600 S, that "S" was taken from something else and stuck on there. This is not a Herbie movie car, not a 1963 model, and doesn't really need to be restored, just really cleaned up. It actually doesn't look in bad shape. I think it was stored inside or it would be much more rotted. This one is all for likes.
The 67 was a 1 year car. The last year of WIDE 5 wheels. The dual carbs came stock on my squareback. Gas tank is under hood. My 69 vertte has a gas door. Vents behind rear windows this is a 68.
It looked like the pressure washing was actually blasting off some of the paint. And no, this car had absolutely nothing to do with any of the Herbie movies, as many others have already commented. So no, it is NOT "the world's rarest Beetle" by any means.
The offer you got is definitely from a car collector, it's a good. Deal to sell it straight away if you are not for big money. You also won't get big money in such a short ownership of yours but you will after atleast 5 years of ownership and you will get probably 20 to 35 thousand dollars if you get a mad beetle lover buying as his first beetle not a previous beetle owner. But for all this you will profit out only if you get a reasonable car restorer who is not a money grabber or who exersices professional arrogance but professional expertise. Good luck
I would restore it, kept it and used it. It was never a sports car, it was a car for the people who couldn't afford a higher priced car. It's history would have to be researched for which movie it was in. The original Herbie was a 1963 model.
A later and rather different Beetle from the Herbie films. This vehicle is also a Brazilian built car. You've been done (assuming you are genuine in what you say). This car appears to have been dirtied up for this video. A staged load of bollox from someone that knows little about these cars. Those Beetles from the 1940s with a small two-piece rear window are the valuable ones.
Why would anybody spray tons of that foam on the inside of the car, followed by high-pressure water? Why would anyone spray quantities of some kind of liquid cleaner on the dashboard, including the gauges and the radio, so that it's literally dripping off?
No dings dents or scratches on the paint. No rips or tears in the interior not to mention no mouse nests or chewed up cloth. No rust atvall even sitting in a barn it would have surface rust on certain areas. This is a bs story.
It’s very bad to wash the car this way! It will be the same to push it into the lake and wipe it out after! Too much water inside the car! Don’t do this!!!😮
This is just my opinion. Clean the car and get it looking its best. I would then take the car to a classic European car appraiser to see what it's worth just as is. If the appraiser were to say something like $10,000.00, then I would restore it correctly. Then, its value will be significantly way higher. Then sell the car if you want. Good luck.
A car doesn't get dirty like that. The dirt was placed there. nice try. And it looks like you guys don't know what you're doing as far as detailing cars
Herbie was a 1963 Beetle. This car is at least a 1970. Sorry, not a car from the movie.
yeh, even in herbie fully loaded it was a '63 🚗
You are 100% correct.
While Herbie in the story is a 1963 model, there were 11 different year models from 1957 -1967 used in the first movie plus junkyard ones used for scenes where Herbie was wrecked or got some sort of damage.

Thank goodness they didn't power wash the headliner.
All these videos are staged. It's all about publicity.
Right. Like why stage a story, when you can just say i bought something and cleaned it up

Sorry but it looks like you intentionally rubbed used oil all over it to make it appear dirtier.
@@wrteague2003 🤣true man
It is true man. For content only. I don' t think so it is very dirty like that.
Not a Herbie movie car, wrong year and the only 2 I know of to be actual Herbie cars are in the u.s. with paperwork to prove it
It would be nice if you knew how to detail in the first place, there was no reason to fill the floor board the way you did. It was a total waste of time and not needed. Learn how to do something before you try, and don't shoot something you don't know how to do.
I think they have ruined this VW with all the water they sprated in it.
Right? Or learn to vacuum out an area before you go spraying it with soap/water then scooping out dirt with your hands. Like wtaf😂
The most rare and expensive beetle is the rear split window beetle.. not this thing from the 70s
Exactly
You have two choices; a split-window or an oval window.
Dream on, this brazilian beetle never played a role in a Herbie movie. Thats junk!
This car is not from the movie. It’s a much later model. I’m a former VW mechanic and there is NO possibility this car was used as Herbie.
This is an authentic 1600-S manufactured in Brazil between 1974 and 1975. It could never have been a Herbie. Only 5675 units of this model were manufactured. This car is also known by the nickname "Bizorrão".
Overkill on the shampooo brooooooooo CHILLLLLL 😂😂😂😂
Air intake at the back window makes it about 1970 model. For it to be one of the Herbies , it would be a mid to late 60s.(I could be wrong)
I Prefer The 1960's Herbie Movies With Ken Barry Who Drove That 1963 Volkswagen Beetle.
@@brucewinkler3317 Dean Jones & Michele Lee 🚗
It has the vents behind the back windows, which were not on the 1970. That makes it a 1971.972s had larger tail lights too.
Das einzige was dieses Auto mit Herbie gemeinsam hat ist das es ein Käfer ist.Ich bin Österreicher aber ich behaupte nicht Arnold Schwarzenegger zu sein.
Der woa guat! :)
It’s been highly modified. It has a split intake with dual Webber carbs. Thats a good indicator it has been “souped up” as they used to say in the old days
You need a little more SOAP.😃😃😃
Yeah, he's being very stingy with the foaming agent here. If a little does a little good, maybe a few gallons more will do a lot of good....maybe? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Beetles are a very iconic cars!
If it was me I'd clean it ...get it running and use it....these are such cool cars and i wish I could find one here in the uk.
This is a late 80’s early 90’s car from Brazil. If it were a Mexican version it would have big taillights and a gas filler on the right side.

What's the reason for literally flooding the interior?
Buddy Hackett would be proud good job guys 😊
Sold!!! Pay me. It's about giving life to the vehicle. Keep the projects coming.

Herbie, well if your all remember had a full webstato type sunroof, not a hard top, lights are wrong, front and back, basically totally the wrong year car
This si a brasilian Made bug, 1.6 cc twin carburator an the Tag is new mercosur, it was on the street not long ago
I would keep it!!! Thats my favorite car ! Drove one from california to conn.❤
Nice!
That car has never had anything to do with the herbie films.and with the amount of water you've soaked everything in its probably fecked now anyway.
My thoughts as well.
Dude right! That’s not even the same model, in the Herbie movies he was a 1963 Vw beetle and that ain’t one soooo I call bs :)
Where’s the sunroof
@@DarrenHills-d3enot all beetles were made that way, you either had the option to have a hard top or a sunroof depending on the year soooo yeah, but hey! Good observation, didn’t notice that before :)
This is definitely not the Herbie VW. This is much newer. The shape of the indicator light and the license plate light gave it away.
What a sweetheart!
This video is awesome!
I would love to own a beetle. One of my childhood favorite cars. We actually had one and it ran forever. Best little car ever. Sadly they are for to expensive for me to buy now.
Dude ,this car is old gold . Only a hand ful here in Malaysia, I know they have a VW club that would pay lots more❤

I was thinking same thing flooding electricals with water n soap !!!
As well as the interior...
Wouldn't let these guys anywhere near my car..
I was thinking the same thing. Amateur hour.
Everything for the algorithm!!!
Just wait for the rust to come through now.
I'm not sure I would have spray foamed everything like you did but being in Canada I would like to buy it since not many fine specimens exist here anymore.
The bug looked great you guys did a fantastic job detailing the car, if I had the money I’d buy no doubt
Thank you man!

Don't sell this car..keep this car ..it is a beauty
What snow foam cannon and product are you using to get really thick foam?
How do you know it’s from the movie, show some proof?
Not from the movie and not even rare
That's been answered dozens of times in the comments. Use your head.
Herbie was also a ragtop. That's a solid roof.
This is classic , sure is not many can understand like this classic car , but compare the comfort this classic car can get 100 point 😂
It looked like the pressure washing was actually blasting off some of the paint. And no, this car had absolutely nothing to do with any of the Herbie movies, as many others have already commented. So no, it is NOT "the world's rarest Beetle" by any means.
The blackening effect to make the car look dirty used on several videos is hilarious.
Great. Keep it
Great video! I subscribed based on how much foamy soap used 😂! Very satisfying
Thank you man!
Yea they definitely put dirt on it to make it look worse
Well done! Now the metal scrapyard will accept it

Pro cleaning makes so much difference!
So many Herbies, many ‘32 Bonnie and Clyde Fords with bullet holes.
Im not a herbie expert, but im very sure all the cars had a ragtop... and i dont think any U.S. export beetles had those rear louvers
No dings dents or scratches on the paint. No rips or tears in the interior not to mention no mouse nests or chewed up cloth. No rust atvall even sitting in a barn it would have surface rust on certain areas. This is a bs story.
I would definitely wait.
Good job 👍
Thanks man!
It’s very bad to wash the car this way! It will be the same to push it into the lake and wipe it out after! Too much water inside the car! Don’t do this!!!😮
I keep it this is one of better car ever made ever
1968 was the first year of the 4 bolt lug pattern on the beetle.
Not a Herbie bug but i am glad it got saved from where it was sitting
Great Job Guys 10
Thanks man!
Beautiful
Agree with the comments here.Whoever sold you this car lied to you that it was featured in Herbie ... Sorry bro next time do your research
WHy would a "Herbie" movie car be in Brasil?
Bro used a lake of water 😂😂😂 in one car 😊
Haha you got me! I was using all the water I could find.
Honestly under chassis and the flooring always the main problem of stock car so if you buy a 2nd hand always check it 😂
What Movie are you referring to?
That's literally been answered hundreds of times here in the comments, you literally typed right next to the answer. Use your head.
I love Beetle car...
Gee, looks nice and it only cost $500.00 worth of "secret sauce". Nice try unless they made a remake of the movie, this ain't an original Herbie car.
Herby war ein älteres Model mit anderen Lampen.
Anybody else getting p!ssed off with AI generated voiceovers? As for the way those muppets washed the car's interior? WTF!
This is just my opinion. Clean the car and get it looking its best. I would then take the car to a classic European car appraiser to see what it's worth just as is. If the appraiser were to say something like $10,000.00, then I would restore it correctly. Then, its value will be significantly way higher. Then sell the car if you want. Good luck.
I'd get it running! The deal was great! Having many beetles in my past I have a love for them.
That $1,000 you paid was a fair price. The person who offered you $5,000 for it lucked out when you said 'no'.
Some old chrome Porsche wheels would be Fire in it...
If that’s Herbie I’m the grand wizard of China.
Still a very beautiful Bug. Never seen an S so probably very rare.
Total over kill with the cleaning products. No need to oversaturate it.
It's just an old Love Bug from Brazil
Looks good but it is not a herbie, and you truly wasted A LOT of cleaning product.
That’s not a Herbie car…. Just a mid 70’s 1600S VW… they are kind of rare in Brazil but definitely not a Herbie movie car
That’s not a Herbie car. They were canvas sunroof cars. And was a 63 with no factory am-fm radio. It’s a nice example,but not a Herbie.
A car doesn't get dirty like that. The dirt was placed there. nice try. And it looks like you guys don't know what you're doing as far as detailing cars
More effort has gone into making this car look disgusting
YOUR FOOLING NO ONE
Definately a post 1970 model, there was a similar situation in Herbie goes to Monte Carlo where he takes a shower under the fountain 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I think not enough colored foam was used. Still not a 1963 Herbie.
this is not Herbie.this car is NEWER.
Man where can I get these cleaning products,help
Look like 1974 to me. Chassis number underneath a rear seat should be start with first 3 digits number 114. will say you can go for 10k for it
Just looking at front bumper, not herbie.
