I was in High School 1969-73. One of my friends bought a New 1973? VW Bug with the curved front windshield, painted Fluorescent Yellow and had Black Interior. It was a nice car.

[@TubTigers]

73-74 was the cross over for the flat/ curved windshield. You can find both and it is confusing when buying new glass.

[@johndavey72]

Hi Jay. I looked at the price and my first thought was WOW ! That's strong money ! but once you start describing the spec' you realise this has everything a beetle fan could wish for ...and more ! The attention to detail can only be made by a true enthusiast . Thanks Jay.

[@barryfriedel2426]

Nice Beetle! All great. Noticed the seal on engine compartment needs replaced. Sharp little V-dub though. I'd break my neck on the stick though. It would be wall art,or a decoration on the car.

[@gh4121-b5n]

It looks like the engine bay stripping at the bottom is cracking.

Listed at $35,998.

[@bkeezie7098]

35?!!!? Not at all worth it for a 69. You could build an even better V-dub for less (and a better year!) That car will sit unless some unknown vw person buys it because it's cute 🙄 Not at all worth over 10-12

[@sanfranciscobay]

Put a Giant Styrofoam Block larger than the Car shaped and painted like a Giant Granite Boulder on top for laughs.

Good Blue, but other than that the customizine looks like hell..........................

the rusty exhaust looks great

PLEASE DON'T SLAM THE HOOD! VW hoods should be set on the latch and gently pushed until they catch.

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

That wasn't much of a slam at all. It honestly seems like we did exactly what you mentioned? 🤨

[@michaeldelaney7271]

@@VoloMuseumAutoSales Yes, the second attempt was fine. The first try flexed the hood towards Jay. The hoods are very light and unbraced. When you stand to the side, your arm swings the hood toward you and the latch doesn't line up. That's why it wouldn't close at first. Releasing pressure and then gently pushing it home on the second attempt was PERFECT. If you stand in front of the car, with your arm directly in line with the handle; just set the hood down, then push and you'll hear it engage. Folks not familiar with the eccentricities of the VW often make this particular mistake (e.g. my sister-in-law). Most people figure if it didn't latch the first time, then slam it harder and if that doesn't work, really put your whole body into it and hammer it. This causes the plunger to bend to the side and can also damage the receptacle and the hood. FORTUNATELY, JAY HAD THE MECHANICAL SENSITIVITY TO REALIZE IT JUST NEED TO BE LINED UP PROPERLY AND THEN LATCHED. Well done. I wish my sister-in-law was that aware. She slammed our hood down so hard that the plunger was outside the receptacle (jamming the hood). After many tries we bent the hood enough that we could free the latch but the hood was never right again. VW's have a million little odd things about them but are really fun, reliable, little cars when you get to know them. I was the unofficial mechanic for my family and friends (3 Microbuses and 5 Beetles). Our Beetle went 375,000 miles before my son wrote it off and our Bus had 160,000 miles when a friend talked me into selling it to him.

[@michaeldelaney7271]

@@VoloMuseumAutoSales My reply seems to have disappeared. I'll try again. Yes, Jay's second effort was great. But, if you stand to the side of the car you natural arm movement pulls the hood towards you. It's very flexible. That's why the hood didn't latch at first. Fortunately, Jay has enough mechanical sensitivity to realize what was needed to get the latch to engage. Most people just start slamming the hood down harder and harder, 'til they bend the hood or damage the latch. If you stand in front of the car when closing the hood, it usually works better. And, I should have said "don't force the latch" instead of "slam." Sorry about that. I was flashing back to an experience with a hood-wrecking sister-in-law. I really appreciate the videos and would to like to add most of the cars to my collection. Just waiting for the Lottery to pick my numbers.

[@TubTigers]

$35k!?? Oh hell no! There's nothing about that tacky resto mod worth more than $17k on a good day. So much "wtf!??" going on with this monster.

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Guess we'll agree to disagree then. 🙄

[@warrenwhirley6485]

Transmission???

As a long term VW owner and purist I find this one fugly! 🤮
