  • Join in with the Restored Crew as they flashback to find the ultimate barn find. After sitting in a shed for over decades, the guys come across a sweet deal on this free VW classic. With the odds fighting against them, the team jumps through the obstacles to see if this Ol' Beetle will run again under its own power. Will it run and drive home or is this resting beauty better left alone?

    That ol’ girl, it’s pretty amazing. It makes me happy when the car’s been sitting for 30 years and has left her junk. It’s still hasn’t get up and go take good care of her boys.❤😊

    This is the first time I've been able to come on here and watch Restored since January. Henry would have loved to see this video. He loved Beetles because of you guys. Thank you for all you guys do, and making these videos. May God bless you guys so deeply. When I hear you say, "Fire right up!" I can hear my little bear say it. I miss him so much. God bless you all.

    A great little car, I had several back in the late 60's & 70's. I wish I still had a 1303S 1600cc that was a gem. Great to see you guy's saved another...A good runabout Christian! 👍

    Looks like a 1968 Beetle to me. My father owned one like this for years. I was the same off-white exterior color but had a Black interior. I hope you do a series restoring this car. I dig it.
    Interesting the shot of the interior at the end showed two gas guages. One in the speedo like a true 1968 and another in the dash like a 1967 or earlier would have. Looking forward to the next video.

    I’ve watched you do several Beetles now. My first ride was a 76 Bug…it’s bringing me back in time. Thank you! I’m also considering finding an old one and doing this myself….. if the wife doesn’t kill me first.

    Hello from South Africa. This old girl brought back memories from the '70s when my brother drove a Beatle like that and you could always hear him come home from a distance. I believe it still had an 8-track tape player in that. We young people would always go to the drive-ins or picnics in it. People could not believe how many people could get into that car. I'd like to see you restore that old car to it's former glory.

    I can see beetle has the same reputation in the US as it have in Brazil (where we calle it 'Fusca'). This Beauty is so easy to rebuild up, can be parked for years and still fire up. Old Volkswagen knew how to make it.

    watching this episode of the VW Beetle, Iam really enchanted, I have a 1977 1300L Brazilian version, and I love these cars, please restore it to the original standard, it is worth a lot of money, here in Brazil it is very popular and loved by many people. Please don't dismantle this car, this Beetle is a tima capsule.

    partially fill the air tank with air by "borrowing" some from the truck tires.
    air will flow from a tire into a tank as well as it will flow out of tank into a tire. assuming there's no check valve. it's only the pressure differential that makes the air flow.

    I'd love to find something like that. Always wanted a bug just to have. Meanwhile I spent 2k on my 91 Celica convertible...some jackass without insurance hit it 6mo after I bought it crumpling the back passenger quarter panel - that was back in '21. It still drives fine, but the back quarter needs completely replacing. Probably won't ever be able to get it fixed as any time I've found a yard within 500 miles with a good one, they never get back and I don't have 3k they've told me would be the minimum to fabricate it. Anyway...venting over...I love your all's content. I actually almost flew to TX back in '20 to look at a hyper blue BRZ, but the assholes sold it after I'd already been talking to them just as I was going to book tickets.
