POV Drive: 1968 Vw Beetle | My First Car!

This 1968 Vw Beetle was my very first car, it was given to my by my grandmother and i ended up selling it shortly after, it spent alot of fuel and it was not very good at being a daily car.
But i really did like it!
This video is an old one that i made to actually showcase the car on the advert for selling it and then i bought the Bmw 325 tds!
This was around June 2015.

When I’m 16 this is gonna be my car! I love 68’ VW Beetles, especially in Blue or Yellow.

I highly agree vw beetles are so cool.

nice video man....congrats from Brazil..

[@thesacredgurkha6529]

Couple of years ago in Nepal I saw two beetle cars from different ages lined to be crushed soon in a scrapyard. The condition of the car was not too bad it was good and had all original parts. I felt so sorry that I did not have money to buy them and to save them. Wish I had that day I would have saved them and preserved them. Only I have a photo of those beetle cars one is navy blue and other was green.

[@rampagedingo]

I love this car. Can't wait to own one, I don't even need to twin turbo the car, its a beauty.

Sadly in the UK getting an old cars is a bloody nightmare, have to stick with corsas and boring polos... I really wish I could get a classic car as my first, but insurance is just a joke.

Get a Cortina!!!

@@akishot6735 Those are expensive AF, and pretty hard to find. Although, admittedly, Ford Lotus Cortina's are one of my favorite cars.

Is insurance mandatory? If not, just run without it like we do here(Brasil)

@Dean Mit depends, if someone crashes in your car, probably he will pay, if you crash in another car, you are so fucked.

Looks like German market and international market Beetles weren't required to have padded dashboards. The US market Beetles got padded dashboards and knobs starting in 1968.

Nice video dude :D do you remember what engine size it was and which carb you had?

[@thekiller2995]

Pungent Pie It was a 1300cc, the carb I do not know :/

[@steelpilot9008]

Could the carb has been a Solex 35 or 40? I think I read about something like that, but I'm at least sure it's originally a Solex.

[@IanForsythWestCoast]

I’m curious where you are located, because this bug has a 1967 dash, in 1968 their was black plastic padding on the dash. The sears also don’t appear to have the big built in headrests, and the 1500cc was engine from 1967, the 1300cc being a one year only feature of the 1966. I’m speaking of North American Beetles, so I am curious about this one, the steering is on the left side and I can’t place the countryside. Thanks.

[@Vinterfrid]

No, the car is a 1968 year model - I had one and the interior looked just like this one. There were no plastic padding - and integrated headrests were introduced with 1969 year model. The engine on this year model was 1300 cc. I'm speaking of European Beetles, so apparently they did differ from North American ones.

[@IanForsythWestCoast]

@@Vinterfrid That’s why I asked where you were located, because North American Beetles in 1968 had the integrated headrests, they were huge and wide, it looked from behind like two nuns were in the front seats. It also had the padded dash (NA safety regs) and the 1500, 53hp engine that was introduced in ‘67. Your big sounds awesome.

[@eska9723]

Nice man, my first car is also a bug but the one from 1969. There is one thing... you're driving very dangerous... it's just too fast man. The brakes in a car of that age are very bad. What would you do if someone behind the corner crossed your way at 2:30? It would be a shame to crash such a bug :/

[@thekiller2995]

I assure you it's not that sharp of a corner, the house on the right is inhabited and no one ever crosses there, don't worry :D Nice first car!

[@IanForsythWestCoast]

Perhaps the pre 1966 Beetles were a little too slow, but only for the highway, although they can get up to highway speed and stay there all day. Beetles from 1966 onward had considerably more power than earlier ones, the 1967 getting the 1500cc making 53 hp which in a car under 1800lbs made it quite sprightly, particularly around town (actually even the early Beetles feel peppy around town because they’re geared quite low and can certainly get out of their own way. Late 60s and 70s Beetles feel great driving around town and can get up to 80mph on the highway, and because of their over-engineering their top speed is also their cruising speed, you can sail down the highway at 80 all day, I’ve done it. I’ve had a 64 sedan, 65 convertible, 67 sedan, 75 La Grande Bug SuperBeetle, 74 semi-automatic sedan w/sunroof, and a 71 411 .Loved em’all.
