60 VW Ragtop Beetle Test Drive!

[@67VWForever]

And yes, the OG german fuse holder in my 67 bug was so nice, too, I was happy. The ends oxidize no rust.

[@ProwagenPer4mance]

The 60 turned out so nice.

[@thepunkrockgarage]

Thanks Rob! It’s a process for sure…

[@AmbroseBuck]

Nailed the stance on the 60.

[@williamerentfro9543]

Damn Skippy! Awesome bro! Happy thanksgiving by the way 👍😎

[@thepunkrockgarage]

Hope you had a good one too!

[@williamerentfro9543]

@thepunkrockgarage thanks bro. It was good. By the way, I am Will. I would shake your hand. But, my arm doesn't reach that far..lol

[@StanxeStyle]

so sick

[@xopherzenitram]

That's a great looking 60!

[@thepunkrockgarage]

@@xopherzenitram thank you!

[@williamerentfro9543]

Wrong doors on it.. anyway. Happy Thanksgiving

My ‘58 doesn’t have a gauge but I don’t think I have a reserve I’ll find out more when the rugs get replaced. I gotta get a transmission because when I bought the car I was told it was a new freeway flyer but of course that was a lie 😢 they painted the case. Such a disappointment

[@thepunkrockgarage]

Such a bummer. Gotta ignore the setbacks and keep going. Good luck

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

@ yes been knocked down but I think I’m on the right track! Now I just need $ 😅

[@thepunkrockgarage]

@ the money part is really real 😵‍💫

[@Metalmanparts]

I'm pretty sure on my 59 the lever would only turn 90° from straight up to horizontal for reserve. If it's flipping over 180° that might not be working right.

[@thepunkrockgarage]

@@Metalmanparts could be, I’m still getting used to this thing…

[@CBECK73]

I did not catch what year the bug was in later part of the video but 68 or 69 is my guess. Rear window defogger i believe first year was 68. Idk

[@thepunkrockgarage]

It’s a late 69 titled 70

[@CBECK73]

I had a 61 blue VW it was still 6v.

[@VintageVolks1956]

61 is the first year for a gas gauge, your petcock is broken it shouldn’t turn that much. Nice looking 60, love the stance.

[@thepunkrockgarage]

@@VintageVolks1956 thanks! I’ll check the petcock!

[@bjmanuel8537]

Do have have the specs on the engine? Thanks. Nice job on the 60

[@thepunkrockgarage]

Small cam, single valve springs, dual 40 IDF carbs. Mild but peppy…

[@67VWForever]

Yeah, the only thing that sucks if you already have that thing in reserve and you forgot to switch it back when you filled up when you run out of gas, you're out of gas buddy.

[@thepunkrockgarage]

😂
