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.
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 🥰
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
As a detailer I’ve never heard of power washing the interior and the glimpse of it being scrubbed the floor pans looked fairly new. With my ‘70 beetle the floor pans were Swiss cheese after about 20-25 years. This seems fake to me.
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".
I had a '74 and a '70 Beetle. College boyfriend was a VW mechanic which really helped. Not good cars for Central Texas in the summer. No A/C and the engine always overheated. But I loved my Bug, esp. the '70 model. Bright reddish orange with white interior and all the chrome was in perfect condition.
I give it a 10 if it runs, but I like the way you guys cleaned it up even the engine came out flawless not bad for $1000 investment of purchasing this car you can get more for the car now✌🏼
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😊💙🐞
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.
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
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.
@@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 :)
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.
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.
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
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.
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.❤❤❤❤❤❤
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?
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.
Stop saying this was in any Herbie movie. That was a ‘63 Beetle and this is an early 70s beetle. I would guess ‘71 because that’s when that rear vent appeared. I owned a ‘72 Beetle. I had to stop watching it because it was pissing me off!
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

Le faltan los descansabrazos de las puertas (al menos de una) y la tapicería de los asientos no es original (la original era de vinil, de un solo color).
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.
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.
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

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
Wooowww....I like this car very much❤❤❤
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.
I had a '74 and a '70 Beetle. College boyfriend was a VW mechanic which really helped. Not good cars for Central Texas in the summer. No A/C and the engine always overheated.

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😂
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.
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
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.
And the most expensive VW today is an original T 1 Samba Bus !
KDF is
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.
Things, like people, can be found, refurbished, restored and given a new outlook and new life. God bless and strengthen all. 🙏❤️🎄
Dream on, this brazilian beetle never played a role in a Herbie movie. Thats junk!
Overkill on the shampooo brooooooooo CHILLLLLL 😂😂😂😂
That's we keep hearing it will be sold for 20k. 😂
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 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.
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.

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
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? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Buddy Hackett would be proud good job guys 😊

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
What snow foam cannon and product are you using to get really thick foam?
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.
This video is awesome!
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.
If 10= showroom or concourse
Then 8.5, just for tge paint worn away in some areas?

The blackening effect to make the car look dirty used on several videos is hilarious.
Sold!!! Pay me. It's about giving life to the vehicle. Keep the projects coming.
I would keep it!!! Thats my favorite car ! Drove one from california to conn.❤
Nice!
That definitely is not from the movie
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❤

Correct! This is a European or South American Spec VW. Never in the Disney Films.
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.
This is classic , sure is not many can understand like this classic car , but compare the comfort this classic car can get 100 point 😂
What's up with the different colors of soap?
Not a Herbie bug but i am glad it got saved from where it was sitting
I wouldn't let you wash my laundry😅
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 .

I think not enough colored foam was used. Still not a 1963 Herbie.

Ya never said the year fread had a 72 supper beetle stick no cluch
Beautiful
Bro used a lake of water 😂😂😂 in one car 😊
Haha you got me! I was using all the water I could find.
Great video! I subscribed based on how much foamy soap used 😂! Very satisfying
Thank you man!
Jeez!!! Did you use enough soap ?!
What a sweetheart!
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!
We have it in botswana...
Good job 👍
Thanks man!
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?

Definately a post 1970 model, there was a similar situation in Herbie goes to Monte Carlo where he takes a shower under the fountain 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Yea they definitely put dirt on it to make it look worse
Well done! Now the metal scrapyard will accept it
Man where can I get these cleaning products,help
Herbie was also a ragtop. That's a solid roof.
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.

Yes indeed!
Stop saying this was in any Herbie movie. That was a ‘63 Beetle and this is an early 70s beetle. I would guess ‘71 because that’s when that rear vent appeared. I owned a ‘72 Beetle. I had to stop watching it because it was pissing me off!
I would definitely wait.
Don't sell this car..keep this car ..it is a beauty
I will use it
Great. Keep it
Honestly under chassis and the flooring always the main problem of stock car so if you buy a 2nd hand always check it 😂
Pro cleaning makes so much difference!
near my old primary school theres a house with that car but red and it has been sitting there for ages
I keep it this is one of better car ever made ever
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.
If it was abandoned in a garage for 18 years, how did it yet so dirty??
That $1,000 you paid was a fair price. The person who offered you $5,000 for it lucked out when you said 'no'.
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

Ese vocho es modelo '73.
El '74 ya tenía las calaveras redondas y los cuartos "más cuadrados", pero los modelos anteriores tenían motor 1500.
Esas tapas negras que dicen 1600 S, son añadidas por el antiguo dueño. El modelo 73, como el '74, tenía solo 2 rejillas alargadas de ventilación en la tapa trasera. El modelo '75 agregó más rejillas y quitó los cuartos de las salpicaderas, poniéndolos en la defensa.
Le faltan los descansabrazos de las puertas (al menos de una) y la tapicería de los asientos no es original (la original era de vinil, de un solo color).

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.

If that’s Herbie I’m the grand wizard of China.
Still a very beautiful Bug. Never seen an S so probably very rare.
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.
1968 was the first year of the 4 bolt lug pattern on the beetle.
Some old chrome Porsche wheels would be Fire in it...
En México te puedes encontrar algún Vocho por 5 mil pesos así.
Unos 250 dólares.
Así es que venderlo a quien te pague 5 mil dólares
Why did much suds and water? I’ve been restoring vintage cars for over 30 years and I see no need for overdoing it. Total overkill on the inside.
