My new favorite ride NEW VW BUS!!

Here is the newest family member! My brother's 1963 15 window walk through! It is epic inside/outside, underside, engine bay...all of it is off the charts (except for that fuel filter in the engine bay...gotta deal with that soon!! ha). We cruise around a bit and just have a little fun getting warmed up over spring break!! #junkinthistruck, #15windowvw, #walkthroughvw

Dreams do come true: I know my VW bus is out there, too. Enjoy!!!

[@marcijunebug]

keep looking, keep dreaming and the right one will find you! I saved 20 years for a double cab and when one came along I welcomed it with open arms! lol

[@thomasgary1219]

What an amazing story my VW friend. I have a 59 beetle that my grandpa bought brand new in February of 1959. He drove it every day until he had a stroke in 1984 and couldn't shift gears anymore. At that point he gave it to my dad. Dad drove the bug for a long time. At that time I wasn't really interested in the old bug. In 1996 dad put the bug in a storage unit where it would rest until 2013, I decided it was time to wake her up from her slumber. It didn't take long to get her roadworthy again. Sometimes I just sit and look at the little Ole bug and I'm just amazed. I can remember my grandpa dropping me off at elementary school in that car, now I take my grandkids to school in it. It's hard to believe the little bug is 64 years old. For some reason I really want a VW bus now as well. I've been looking. Oh we're in Texas too. Texarkana which is a long way from Houston. My wife and I are thinking about driving the bug to Galveston pretty soon before it gets super hot. Y'all seem like really cool folks. Have a blessed day

[@marcijunebug]

oh man, what an amazing story! Thanks for sharing! If you DO end up making the trip to Galveston PLEASE let me know! I think my brother would love to grab a cup of coffee or something with y'all! My email is [e-mail] feel free to reach out and I can put the two of you in touch! Cheers my VW friend!

[@ggolds5]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!. Mazel Tov!!. Awesome, stupendous, Epic. My dream Bus was a Baywindow 76-79 Westfalia in yellow. My wife's dream was an automatic with working air conditioning. I told her that wasn't going to be possible. Years and years and years of looking on the Samba and Ebay, and realizing we wouldn't be able to afford it, my wife bought a Law Of Attraction book and movie and we read and watched the movie several times over 3 weeks. Then, suddenly on TheSamba, my wife found the exact Bus we both wanted. Exact. We had it shipped in from Texas to our home in Connecticut. We've had it a month and I can't begin to tell you how thrilling it is to have my dream finally come true. My wife always tells me to stop saying we can't afford it and just bring it in by sending our wishes to the universe no matter how corny that sounds. We materialized our fantasy house and now our fantasy Bus. This can work for anyone , you just have to want it badly enough and ask God and the universe to grant it and it WILL happen. Thanks.

It is SUCH a beautiful ride! Way nicer than anything he and I have ever owned! I told him to use my standard line "I paid way more than I wanted to but much less that it is worth" lol and Mr. Dalton named it the "greenie weenie" lol The pictures kind of make it look blue-ish, but it IS more on the green side! Thanks for being here!

thanks! we are really happy for him! That entire garage just has "mad cool" cars in it! love everything in there, but YES that Porsche....sigh...

[@autouniontypeA]

You are completely the right person to own this bus! I've had similar crazy adventures with my 600 multipla from 1958, people love to see it, to sit in it and have photos with it. My son came with me to buy it from the French Alps. I've just bought a 1960 23 window deluxe to restore, hoping to have more adventures in this bus one day! I love the colours of your bus, it's beautiful inside and out.

[@marcijunebug]

Yes, My bother was THE absolute perfect guy for this bus! I have a 67 vw double cab and a 58 vw panel bus, the double cab is my daily in the warmer months the 58 is a major project that I truly hope to finish this year! Thanks for stopping in and sharing, congrats on the 23 window! you lucky duck!

[@autouniontypeA]

@@marcijunebug superb! You are living the dream too. Glad to hear that you are saving another bus, they find the right owners eventually. My grandfather drove a 1965 Devon camper as his daily driver for nearly 20 years. He sold it when I was 15 for next to nothing. That bus is still on the roads today. It was what started my love of old cars and especially old VWs. This is my first split window and I hope to do it justice. Your brother's vw is perfection!

She is very capable and has undertaken some outstanding renovations. 👏 . Enjoy the bus and thank you for sharing. We did not see the engine!

[@marcijunebug]

oh goodness...you have had some real gems! I think I'm really going to love ole pickle once I get it done...something about the bonding with a machine/project that changes a person some how!

There were only a few things to correct to make it perfect. The rust on the bottom of the doors, correct Lemmerz trim rings and a chrome front emblem. I love my early 63 15 window, I know he will love his!

I thought for one moment that YOU had bought this!!! Very nice indeed, almost too good, patination will come with use! As for the headlamps, I have no idea what the rules are in USA, but here, we can upgrade to LEDs (anything pre-1986, after that, they have to be "E" marked) and my vintage cars all have LED bulbs and the night-time problem of being seen and able to see is gone! Thanks for sharing, greetings from the UK!

[@marcijunebug]

I can't have "nice things" I have a 7 year old! 😂 I'm really happy for him, it's his dream bus! He likes the 6v lights, but we have no laws saying they can't be upgraded...I will likely run l.e.d. in pickle or run a converter regulator (like my dad does in his 55) that basically makes a 6v into a 12v thus increasing brightness of brake-lights and headlights! Thanks for always being here Gary!

It reminds me of the '66 single cab I used to drive from Hamburg to Berlin and back many years ago. That's only about 300 km (186 mi) but it seemed endless at just 80 km/h (50 mph) 😂 . But it was a lot of fun (although you still had to drive through the GDR back then).

Add front and rear safaris, remove the arm rest.. a 40 or 1500 is the best motor.

[@marcijunebug]

He wants to keep it as OG as possible and since he has the original dealer window sticker with the options it came with I think he will keep it the way it was ordered...the arm rests...yeah those are kind of cool actually and since there are holes drilled in the original panels where they are I think he will just leave them...Motor felt really strong, almost like was a fairly fresh rebuild (he's trying to find out more info on that) plenty of pep even though it is just 40hp...felt strong for a 40, although if they are really dialed in they are a great little engine! thanks for the comment! cheers

[@ericknoblauch9195]

The 1500 40 horse power was the best motor. Some people bored them out to deliver more. Also some people installed the later 1600 horse in some of these. My mother had a 1965 bus with the 1500 bored out, and that engine was super reliable. She had that bus for over 27 years. It ran when all her other cars were in the shop for repairs. She also had a later bay window bus with a 1600 dual port engine which kept sucking valves down into the crankcase. Her 1500 engine never did that, and I remember the odometer rolling over more than once in that 1965 bus.

My brother got a great deal on it and he feels very blessed to have had the opportunity to be the current owner! Thanks for coming along with us! It was a great day! www.thesamba.com/vw/

[@mrjasonrblack4095]

Looks great! Is it the pearl white or the blue white on the top?

[@marcijunebug]

It's the blue or the lighter turk...looks white until you get right up on it! Beautiful bus, I'm so jealous!

[@FelipeManoelCollector]

Please could you tell me which color is this green?

[@paulgunther3281]

Love you videos. Need vw help. I bought my 16 year old daughter a 1972 automatic vw squareback. It had a leaking transmission. I took it to local vw shop. They can't find gaskets. Do you know where or who might have a old Nos gasket set. The old vw guy is stressed out. My daughter and i are stressed out. We tried Somba no luck. Thanks Paul And Veronika

[@marcijunebug]

I assume you've tried all the sites? The bugeyed place (listed below) is near me...I will call them today...if he doesn't have it, he might be able to get it or tell me where to get it? Might be possible to get the raw material and make one? Or get someone with a 3d printer/cnc router and get them the original and raw material to copy the old one? cip1.com wolfsburgwest.com jbugs.com www.bugeyed.net/

Road trip???

[@melchristian8876]

Is that what pickle is going to look like when you get done with it

[@marcijunebug]

I hope not! ha perfect paint causes stress! ha Pickle will be a lovely patina driver tho and one I won't be freaking out on if/not the paint get scratched!

[@melchristian8876]

@@marcijunebug thank you 😊

[@dennispalmer5543]

Marcia, I was just checking in with you dear. I am following your work with Pickle. Sometimes people ask me what I follow on KZbin. I readily refer them to marcia junebug , a devoted mother and a progressional in what ever discipline is involved in (that discipline is really not my business). I declare that Marci is concerned about ancient VW’s while at the same time a devoted mother. You are at same time working to establish yourself as an artist with a plasma cutter. That is satisfactory with me as i view a hopelessly worn handsaw converted into something someone might value.

[@dennispalmer5543]

I lost my contact. What I really wanted to say is that I readily endorse your activities. But as a former “caretaker of a 1960 Chevrolet pickup truck,” I am excited when you find the funds to work on Pickle. Keep going you devoted Mother of Dalton. Dalton is ways your primary concern. I’ll continue checking in. But as always dear, “Keep on trucking!” I dearly endorse you Marci, PD

[@marcijunebug]

you are too kind...I certainly wear many hats and am kept very busy these days with my work and my little one (although not so little anymore) but my love for all things old and forgotten especially ole pickle...that bus is my therapy!

[@marcijunebug]

Thanks Dennis...truly truly appreciate your comment and thanks for stopping in! We are all but caretakers for a time! cheers my friend!

[@tommodica491]

what is the knob next to the dash ashtray?

[@marcijunebug]

do you mean the chrome knob?....cigarette lighter

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

NEW???? How in the world...

[@marcijunebug]

hehe..."new to us" so NEW lol wish VW was still making them in the old body style! I know, I know...safety standards! ha

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear @@marcijunebug Ahaaaaa! So you fooled me or clickbaited me?! 😁;-) Just kidding of course. Thanks for replying and especially for another heart. I totally appreciate both (as you know). 2) In 2017 VW had the Bulli in a new design as an electric car on several car shows (even in Pebble beach). A great looking bus but way too expensive. Called the ID Buzz. Best regards, luck and health to all of you.

[@marcijunebug]

Yes, the VW life channel got to drive it in Austin, TX just a few days ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZPMfopjga90qM0 I personally am not a fan and if that is the future of car design...well...I'm not interested in a new car any time soon! ha Cheers my friend!

[@jimmywilkinson9190]

Is it a 40 hp or one of the weird 1500 ?

[@marcijunebug]

40hp as far as we can tell...feels a bit peppy for a 40, so we aren't sure if/not it has been "tweaked" but a 40 running right is a strong little engine as you know!

[@williamtanner1372]

Beautiful bus!! You need to put in safari windows for him. Now he needs the chrome emblem he gave you for Christmas back. lol

[@marcijunebug]

I told him needs safari's....YES, I offered the chrome emblem to him if he gives me his I'll just sand it and paint it white on mine! Thanks for always being here!

[@zundfolge1432]

mine will never be that good. My turkis bus looked that good many years ago. Rust, time, I dont have

[@marcijunebug]

I love them any condition really...just such a wonderful piece of machinery and a piece you can really bond with in a way,...nothing like an old bus!

[@DasLuftVolks]

Just so you dont get made fun of too much, its pronounced Tur-kiss, Turkish is a citizen of Turkey

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear Tony More Nice try (no offense!)! ;-) Actually it's called Türkis in Germany and pronounced like "Turkeys". Best regards, luck and health.

[@baileynick9803]
