      I was just thinking that in embarrassment.. I was born in 73, my mom was all excited to let me watch it as a toddler. I knew it was good if mom was excited about a movie. Well, my dad is a hard ass trucker, and it went away quick..for along time. In fact my first ride in one of his rigs was 1978. I loved the movies, it also inspired me to take care of any machine I enjoyed.

    Great vid and thanks for using some of my images. @4:41 that's my Herbie replica the right of TLB #10 and my buddy Tyler's '66 1300 Sedan to the left of the car. As one of those individuals who told Clayton "You need to meet Tory Alonzo" (who just happened to be at Funfest that year) I can honestly say that this car ended up in the right place with the right owner. Good for Clayton for getting "Junky" out and about. (o\5!3/o).

    Fun video. My interest in VWs started with Herbie when I was a little kid. We ran One Lap of America with a modified 1983 VW Rabbit, and it felt like a Herbie movie. They ranked us one car ahead of dead last (just in front of Rocky Aoki's Beetle) but we finished third in our class.

    I have a picture of me with this very car at Swigart Museum back in 1997 when I was 9 years old and it was in a lot worse shape then. So glad to see it getting the love it deserves. I believe they still have the other one that's in better shape.

    Love ‘em! My first car was a used 1964, nicknamed “Thunderbug” after we backed into a parking space that had a piece of rebar sticking up that tore a hole in the muffler. My first brand new car was a shiny red 1968 loaded with options...an FM radio. Cost me a nickel less than $2,000 and I thought I was signing my life way on E4 pay. I wish I still had it.

    I'd put my dream car in my room also.
    Saw the original movies in the cinema, we had it good in the 70's and 80's for tv vehicles.
    I'm glad it's safe.

    I was at Midamerica Motorworks in Effingham Ill in 2006 and they had two of the herbies there. The one in the building was mostly a prop and the one outside the guy couldn't get it started and I tried to help him get it started but think it had a bad ignition coil. hehe.

    Very cool ! I’m 55 years old my Dad bought a brand new 58 and 63 Beetle back i the day i have very fond memories of going on road trips in the 63 as a matter of fact on those road trips i ha a little plastic counter i. Got out of a cereal box. That used to make a click sound everytime i pushed it to keep count on VW bugs we saw along the trip my parents would always be looking as well of course in those days it was easy. To spot the cars at night because of the 6 volt. Systems as luck would have it after high school. I became freinds with a guy in Florida that ha a 63 ragtop as his daily driver unfortunately when he bought the car one of his 27 bugs he owned it had a fiberglass Baja kit. On it But it didnt stop us from standing up thr the ragtop going down the highway the Love Bug movie is still one of my favorites as i did see it originally at a drive in theater in that 63 my Dad had it was a botched Green paint job that came from the factory like that my parents did order Green but the one they got was a different Green than they picked out at the dealership ? My Dad used to tell me that. When he drove the car to work and parked on the street. Many times he would walk out of work to find several people looking under the car and even on a few occasions with the engine or trunk lid open just to see more on how the car was made he said on more than one occasion he would have to yell at people to get away from his car. As he wanted to drive it home having a original Herbie to me is really cool I know a couple of years ago the one from theHerbie movie with Lindsey Lohan went up for sale on Ebay and it sold a little cheaper than i thought it was going to i beleive that oe still had some of the odifications that were used in the movie like water cannons and blinking eyelids Still working. As i saw pictures of the car but i never did see that movie yet

    It is surprising that it wasn't scrapped... so the fact it's an original movie car wreak kinda makes it cooler than a pristine one

    Thanks for this video, grew up watching Herbie, and now at the age of 45 I have an Australian built (built in Clayton, Victoria) birch green 1964 VW Beetle 1200 Deluxe which I adore here in Canberra, Australia. Great channel, looking forward to watching all your videos.

    I was in Orlando for my daughter's dance competition (weekend of March 16th), she didn't have a dance until later that evening, so me and my 7yr old son, snuck off to Disney. Well, on the way back to competition, I saw all the Herbie's on World Dr and texted my buddy (fellow Herbie Owner) David Evans and was like dude, I just saw y'all lol. I distinctly remember seeing this #10 Herbie in the convoy and definitely drooled a little. #AirCooledLife (●\ ! /●)
