In 1973, I bought my 1972 Beetle (I was in thhe air force) that looked EXACTLY like that one. I did not want the 1973 tail lights so I was happy to get the last 1972 on the lot, although “Klem” (his real name!) would only give me $50 off for last years model. But, I loved that car. Eventually, I went back to college and by that time, it needed constant work and I had no time for it and even less money, so I had to sell it. Very good to see that it found it’s way to you. I will be watching every single video as you bring my baby back to life.
You're a hoot young man. 51 years old....a mere child🤗! Happiest of Birthdays kind sir. 🎆 May you have many great years to come Jason. John here from the taptaptaptap back-roads of 💨taptaptap Northeastern Tennessee😁
51! No grey hair? Is your secret old VW motor oil combed in daily? Nice touch with the head bump for Jen. It's the little things that keep a wife happy! Another great video. Thanks!
Enjoy to continued beautiful weather. Snow be coming soon. Nice job finding all these relics. I gotta say i cant wait for the full timelapse on the paint stripping beetle.
I'll give a good story! I bought a 78 Yamaha XT500 from a guy who bought it brand new, took it home n put two stroke fuel at 50to1 in it and fouled the plug! I paid 50 buck's for it because it sat in his yard for 6 yrs after that and he said it was blown! I took it home cleaned the carb and dumped the fuel and put regular gas in it and it fired on the first kick! The Damn thing was still like new, not even broken in yet! It had a three gallon tank full of premix that's all that was wrong with it! I rode it back to his house and showed it to him! He was so mad I thought he wasgoing to have a heart attack! 😁 I rode that bike for two yrs then sold it for 800 buck's! Best investment I've ever found!😆
I turned 51 in March. In Brazil there is a brand of cachaça that is the number 51. And the slogan of its advertising says: 51 ? Good idea ! Here in Brazil we joke that being alive at 51 is a great idea.... Congratulations.
Happy Birthday Jason 🎉🎉🎉. My super beetle ‘74 was timed BTDC I used a strobe light to fine tune it using the marks on the flywheel. I would do it with the vacuum pipe disconnected at 950 RPM idle. It ran and started sweet like that…but I had electronic ignition on it by that stage.
That and some of the first VW Beetle ever sold in USA by an importer as he did some simple mods for extra power before they were sold and had a specific shifter knob. Before this nobody wanted to import and sell the vehicle due to its reputation with WWII.
It doesn't sound good but it's life is still in there and i believe give that full life in that cutie beetle and i wish if that time come you will gave her to me just wishing it's not a crime wishing to have a beetle someday ☺️
the timing you mentioned is for emissions and a vac type dist. With the mechanical you can go maybe 5 degrees advanced or 32 degrees total (at 3,000 rpm) if you have the right timing light.
Thx for the link! Yes, we look forward to your new presentations! Keeping YT going can be a “bear”! Unfortunately, we can’t appreciate all that is going on with you outside the channel
Not a bad fix on getting it to run Jason . Should’ve just got your neighbour to tappy tap the condenser wire first 👍 always great content. Happy birthday m8
Of all the things you’ve got there; are there any of the Bugs w/solid floors & body? I had high hopes for this one because I had an identical one - even same color. But when I saw that the wall in rear passenger area was disconnected from the rest of the body I had to pass. I can’t do body work so need one that will not need it.
Thank you Guys for the Bday wishes & subbing to the 2nd channel, new content soon over at 5150mxVw2 : th-cam.com/channels/5b9veFmMgbMYuv3ObGYsaw.html
Moar mouseage?
Why the second channel?
Just tap it in was in Happy Gilmore
I will buy it...

And that bike is now worth a lot more than $800 of yesteryear..
They are sought after here in Australia
@@iansmith1023 I can imagine- that thing was built like a tank!
Tell that guy on the roof "don't force it,use a bigger hammer."
Cool.Happy Birthday!Have a nice day.Thanks for sharing.

Pre-Happy Happy Birthday!
I tryed to help you out but didnt win the Powerball on Wensday maybe on Saturday at lease I can watch you get it running with Joshes help !!!; )
happy birthday, wish you good health, happiness and success! And the beetle started, great! Keep it up !
Happy Birthday. Why were only 1,000 of these beetles produced?
I believe it was the tail end of the production year and they were about to start the curved windshield version. They were basically a 1972 leftover.
Nice to see you have a bit easier one. Enjoy your B day
Happy Birthday Brother 🎂

Thank you , yeah I brain whiffed that one
Shakin it boss! What about those new fangled radiators on dirt bikes? WTH?😉
Good old condensers. I've already got a spare for mine in anticipation of it not working...if I ever get to the stage of it running lol.
I thought that “tapping was gunfire!
Happy birthday and best wishes. You are a baby (51). Always interesting videos.

HAPPY tap tap BIRTH tap DAY!
Great stuff, off to channel two.
Happy birthday 🎈🎁🎂🎊🎉 another awesome video.
Love your channel. HBD Bro!
Happy birthday!!! Love the special bug!!
Thank you Tim !
The Be-Jesus or Be-Jabbies, great NE phrases most haven't heard.
Come on
Life isn’t that bad bud
You did it quick by usual standards !!!!
i think the tapping was from Scrooged.
Oh yes & happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊
Thank you MC
So 5150mxVW is 51 . That still leaves you 19 behind me buddy. Respect your elders, and have a great day man. It doesn't last forever.
Wasn't the hammering in Scrooged with Bill Murray?
Can’t find your 2nd channel. 5150 mx 2 takes me to this channel. 🤷🏼

But when I saw that the wall in rear passenger area was disconnected from the rest of the body I had to pass. I can’t do body work so need one that will not need it.
It looks like it will need at least one floor pan, but it also looks like that heater channel may be done already??
2 grand is a pretty good deal
Nice
Love the channel I Was wondering if you had any rare drums for a 73 super beetle for sale also looking for a gas tank
Lets see, $2000 if it starts $200 if it doesn't, is that delivered? I live in Iowa, it's just a short run! Lol.
