      My first beetle was a 1965 VW. Beetle.I dreamed of one since I was in 3rd grade it was one of the best Blues that my dad could have picked out. At the time in 1962 my girlfriend had a 1966 grey with a maroon ragtop and .I just love going through these shout . These are my bugs and many dreams and when I die I will go to hognilenddddsee9

    Where did I miss the new engine being identified and installed? I'm watching the old one come out and suddenly a new one appeared magically installed in the engine bay. I've never had that happen to me. And for those who thought it looked better before they lowered it: I agree. They lost the look lowering the suspension, no matter how many roof racks they put on.

      I am all for recycling. So use the engine from a car where the body is totaled and the body from a car where the engine is dead. So did not listen, but is this a refurbished engine? New engines should be electric. Or at least do some fun stuff, like a scaled down (hi-octane to ease cooling) flat-6 or even a 120° V6 .

I put the engine and transmission in the Ford. Had to make some mounts and get the drive shaft modified but it worked. Also here in Kentucky I've seen a lot of saw mills with just about any engine that will run hooked to them.

      Nothing different compared to a stock engine. Just because it’s making more power through using parts with a much more advanced technology compared to tech that was available in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, doesn’t mean it’s more prone to fire. Mine has a fire extinguisher mounted under the dash, and I keep up with regular maintenance.

    I like the bug a lot. I really am NOT a fan of lowering the suspension on something that is supposed to be a daily driver kind of car. Show car? Absolutely, but a car that is expected to navigate roads in TX, especially ones with possible potholes and or speed bumps? No thanks. Just my opinion and yeah I know everybody's got one. You buddy over there got a Karmen Ghia in as good a shape as that bug?? I'd be all over it especially with a decent (not outrageous like 200+ HP) power upgrade. That bug must have been sold beforehand since it isn't in the inventory and doesn't show on the previously sold.

      Very cool! I have a Ragtop Oval Beetle from 1956 and I built it new from scratch last year🤩
      when I drive-ship-drive the car from Switzerland to your Shop in Texas - would you like to put a 200Hp engine in for free, for a Marketing-Story in your show? 🤩
      This will maybe a funny challenge! 🤙
