In thisvideo I give a full in depth tour of a 1967 VW Beetle. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

Very nice 67, pumps out approximately 53 hp, but that depends on the engine’s condition.
can someone please explain to me the difference between the 67 68 and 69 i was thinking about investing in one of those.
where are the speakers?
nice video…i have a 67 sitting in my garage that was given to me by my father in law….it needs some work…floor pans and a front axle….but otherwise it is in good shape…can’t wait to get it on the road! It is white too
lmao! “lets see how it sounds (tuh tuh tuh) don’t die on me now”!! how did i expect that lol great video
It’s good that your very thorough in your videos, but aren’t you wary of your camera smelling like car exhaust?
@cbrook1234 yeah, that’s what i thought lol.
@kendrickevans301 Yes that would explain the differences in our figures. I didn’t realize you were talking about horsepower at the flywheel, most people are interested in the amount of horsepower the car puts to the drive wheels which also explains only being able to find those figures.
@cbrook1234 It had 63.5 horesepower at the flywheel, that translates to 53-55 hp at the rear wheels. If you did hp test on the rear wheels, we are both right. Also, plenty of people support my knowledge being i am a graduate of ITT tech and understand the many ways you can measure torque and horsepower, if you’d realize, were’re in the same ballpark, we might’ve measured 2 different ways.
@kendrickevans301 It had 63.5 horsepower at the flywheel, that translates to 53-55 hp at the rear wheels. If your measurment is done at the rear wheels, we are both right.
my mom had this until she got the mg convertible
@kendrickevans301 My horsepower measurement was done in brake horsepower so your number may be another measurement of horsepower. All other sources I found say the 1967 Beetle had 53-54hp and 77-78 lb-ft of torque but no one supports the power and torque figures you are using
@cbrook1234 nope, it had 63 1/2 horsepower, but it had 55 lb ft of trque, maybe that’s what you mean.
@IceCube498 nope, it has 63.5 horsepower an 55lb ft of torque. I know all all about these thngs. Maybe you mean’t torque.
these beetles actually have 63.5 horsepower, and 55 lb ft of torque. If you were trying to go somewhere fast, this was not the car for you lol. But you cant beat its weight ( 1,900 lb). I say it had a good power:weight ratio
for sale??? i must have the little thing! i love beetles
how do u get to view all these cars. sorry if this is a recomment but i am just wondering
That is one sweet looking bug! Would totally love to own one of these!
If that’s a survivor (unrestored) it’s in amazing shape!.. thanks for posting this!
@jmurray01 yap i know…it’s the same thing in croatia and almost everywhere in europe.
Oooooooohh! That V-Dub is a beauty! Beetles are my 2nd favourite car, and that one ROCKS! 5 Stars!
And for the record, I think the new Beetle is a girls car, the old one was universal
Can you please do a Test-Drive of that car!? Pleeeeeeeeeeease
@LedCROwbar Here in the UK manuals don’t require a Clutch start. If it’s in gear, it’ll jolt, simple as that.
@LedCROwbar its another safety type fthing to do. i know you dont have to, but just to be safe u push in the brake as well, like if someone test drove a car and doesnt use the handbrake, say they just leave it in gear, then wen u push in the clutch the car may roll. but who doesnt use the handbrake on a manual car…
