    Last year in June we bought a 64 beetle that was featured in the VW Trends magazine in 1997 and we have the magazine with the car in it. Then it was left outside for 15 or 20 years. We been working on it for a year bringing it back to life and now it runs and we been driving it. We’re keeping it original as possible and we hope to take it to shows hopefully soon and bring it back to way it was back in the days. Great Video and Great Story! 👍

    Funny coincidence with “Linda’s “ story. My first car back in 1974 was a 1970 Opel Kadett sedan, which I traded straight across in spring of 1975 for a 1966 bug Java green as well.

  • @robj2704
    @robj2704 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    My first car was a brand new tan '68 Beetle. $1,600 + $40 for an AM radio. It was tough because I was a young hell-on-wheels. It had just enough power to not get run over by a bigger car, and not so much power that I would worry about speeding tickets.

    Love the 66 Linda story. Kudos for him trying to keep it as original as possible. But it did bring me back to when my husband and I divorced. He got the special edition 70 Beetle we had. Then he went and traded it in on a used Opal! That didn't turn out so well. Had I known, I would have bought the Beetle from him.

    Just got back from Colorado and I had a lot of fun seeing the Rockies, Royal Gorge, Pikes Peak, and much more!
    P.S.,
    I actually went to the Forney Transportation Museum and even some places at Colorado and even the Austin International Airport South Terminal (such as the Denver Int'l Airport & Downtown Estes Park) and from those places, I saw a '59 Beetle, a '74 Thing, and even some images and stickers of a VW bus, too!

      Vinegar doesn’t remove rust. Vinegar neutralizes metal. If you have rust, this is not for you. If you just want to Cowan out and old tank with water, then you need to use something like vinegar to neutralize the effect water has on the metal.
