    omg this reminds me of of my first car, a 1970 semi auto bug that was baby blue. My father and I put it back together and although it lacked a lot of modern features I loved driving this bug. It taught me about car maintenance but it also humbled me. I remember going to local shops to "fix" and "upgrade" my bug. Looking at this video now, after later owning a Lexus RX, I really wish I could go back and drive this simple yet silly little car

    Love these things I need one in my life. My Dad had a 67-68 like this that 5 of us ride to Arizona from Illinois in! I was a toddler maybe three but thinking two, I sat on my Mom’s lap the whole way. I remember how miserable that was it was hot and uncomfortable and Mom could’ve killed Dad for taking it instead of the new Impala we had. Lol. I guess I cried every time we went near the car for weeks after. 😂. Ours was even the same color.

The van was nice but the 2 beetles scared the heck out of me with the high revving engine the no insulation & touchy breaks & it felt like it was going faster than it actually was LOL Anyway, I loved the video & its likely I will go for a ride again in YOUR VW soon :D

    i have a few questions, i got a 74 1300- RHD, Euro model made for Africa market, now did the tail lights change in that one year? mine is built in 73, also my seats are original, but no head rest. and idea on these points?

    • @classiccarpov2311
      @classiccarpov2311  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think the tail lights in 74 were the ones oval at the top and straight at the bottom. 1973 seems to be the last year for oval tail lights on standard Beetles in Europe. Some standards came without the headrests, indeed.

    • @classiccarpov2311
      @classiccarpov2311  ปีที่แล้ว

      For me it is really easy! I am a big guy, fat, with some force. The only moment when I feel a little bit the need for power steering is when I park it and I need to rotate the wheel on the spot, without the car moving. Otherwhise, when the car is moving, I can actually steer with 2 fingers. Brakes are fine all the time.

    That VW sure does not look like the VWs they were selling in North America in 1973. Looks like it is from about 1965. Lights and interior and windshield are quite different. In north american they started calling them Super Beatles and they were quite a bit larger then your 1973 VW.

    • @classiccarpov2311
      @classiccarpov2311  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is called a Sparkafer (basically a poor man's Beetle), because they used to build it with whatever parts they still had in stock from older models.

    I own a 1973 standard. This is not a 1973. No holes on the dashboard for the padded dash. The Steering wheel is from a 1968. The seats are incorrect for the year 1973. This bug is a late 1960's bug. Bumpers are older. Not the 1968 to 1973 standard bumpers.The deck lid is from a 1967 to 1971.I am bit confused about the location of the steering. It should be on the right if it is from Europe. Lastly, the 1973 bugs came with a 16oo cc engine. I have a 1776 engine with a 40 IDF webber.

    • @classiccarpov2311

      Hi! What country are you from? I am asking, because in Europe we had the Sandard Beetle (or Sparkafer how it was called in Germany) that came with rounded bumpers, simple steering wheel, and normal headlights. It's a mix of older generations with new ones. If you search Sparkafer on the internet you will see this was an actual model in Europe.
      About the steeering on the right hand side, that is only in England, not the whole Europe.
