Blown mafia
Thanks for the really thorough breakdown of the whole car.
Fantastic detail of car spec and it sounds amazing love your car Mark.
Wish engine its that
Marc deserves a round of applause for letting someone drive his bug 👋👋👋👋
He was super nervous letting Nicole drive it. I bet his wife isn't even allowed to drive it. 😆
Nicole Johnson....master of making introvert engineer types extremely nervous...which makes for a great video.
Haha! Glad you enjoyed it..thank you!
I may have looked that way but I was actually pretty relaxed. That's just how I am.
One she's beautiful and secondly she's feisty😃
Awkward is a big draw
@@turbovdub1867 Hi Marc, I am building a turbo VW as well, I run into some issues and I see that you installed rear disc brakes pointed towards the bottom of the wheel. Thinking about doing that as well but my question is, where did you get the extended E-brake cable from? Appreciate your help. Amazing Vdub as well!
The best part of that car is the sound from the exhausts, I could listen to it all day long..
Nice to see a genuine show with a female lead that isn’t sexually explicit. Her personality is the sole focus with the vehicles and it’s refreshing. Have watched every episode - some more than once!
How nice..thank you!!
Very true. There’s real beauty & there’s click bait. 👍.
@@hughmarcus1 Yeah, and there's also those who know what water injection is for and those who haven't a clue....
Well it doesn’t’ hurt that Ms. Nichol is an attractive woman but the real draw to this channel is the intellect,knowledge, and enthusiasm she displays on the channel. And I like the great variety of cars she seems to find. My main interest is stock classics so the change of pace is nice.
couldnt agree more, getting sick of women showing so much in the thumbnail just to get you to watch. I watch a few of female youtubers and they know so much more than myself & men in general but all you see is what they are doing, whether that be wrenching, welding, or just getting down and dirty. No smutty stuff.
This is the most beautiful Beetle I've ever seen. Super tasteful and beautifully engineered. What a gem!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching!!
Marc is one brave person letting anyone else drive a car so long in the making and with such a personal history to him.
It is testament to Marc’s engineering skills that the whole project has come together in such a quick and drivable car.
God bless all the inspired, talented engineers of the world, it makes it a better place to be
We agree! Thanks so much for watching...glad you enjoyed it!
Well, that and Nicole IS a professional. Driver. 😉
He looked like he was gonna grab the wheel at any second
Quite a few nervous glances her way..
12:56 Jurassic Park pinball in your garage. Now that is COOL!
We actually filmed this in Marc's buddies garage!!
What a blast from the past. I had two 59 Bugs in High School (late 70's). A convertible and one with a sunroof like this one.
Awesome!! Thanks so much for watching!
This beetle is the most beautiful piece of motor art i have ever seen.
I respect and admire men and women who think like this, the ongoing, gradual, continuing evolution of this perpetual-project car. Awesome!!! :)
Well said! Thank you for watching!!
The sound of that thing when you ripped it up the road in the close shot. OMG that sounds delightful!
Yes, I agree. Thank you for watching!
Nicole keeps it real without pushing the "S"appeal past eyebrow raising: Smart, professional, and a nice balance of tech, humor and passion: Well done, worth watching !
Thank you!!
Mark and his Bug are extremely cool and Nicole and her crew did a fantastic job showing us the details. I felt like I was there in person.
The audio is spot on, never heard a VW sound so good! Very refined and sophisticated but powerful too.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!
This is just about the most beautiful Beetle I've ever seen, it's clearly a labour of love, my Dad is an engineer so I like it when engineers do their own thing at home.
Thank you so much for watching..glad you like it!!
The more I watch videos about my dream car(VW Beetle) the more I fall in love with it❤️
Marc , Do not EVER sell this Beauty! this is a Dream. Truly first class work that you did on this Käfer! This is how my dream Bug
would look and feel like. Great choice of the Color too!!! Auf wiedesehn Herr Kuttner 😊 and also many thanks to Nicole for showing this to all of us. really dig your passion for these legendary cars!! keep doing it.
Wow, thank you! Glad you liked it!!
One of the great things about your channel is that you find these incredible craftsmen who fabricate things for their cars instead of just buying a bunch of parts--lots of real art in these builds. You're doing a great job finding interesting and refreshing content and presenting it so well..
Thank you so much..it's really encouraging to see comments like this. I'm so glad you are enjoying!
She absolutely drove that like she’s been doing it for years! Literally the nicest Bug I’ve ever seen!
Thank you so much for watching..glad you liked it!!
Ladies & their bugs on the streets has been a classic sight in popular culture for decades. The modern resurgence in modded & rodded bugs with women today is great to see out on the road.
Look at that Bug-ger Go!!! Damn!! Seriously, nobody would expect that.
Pabst Blue Ribbon!
I’m 59 y.o. Of course I had a bug (1970), and my other VW (1969 Type III fastback). Gawd!! To go back to those wonderful times in my life. Thanks for stirring my juices Nicole. 😁
Haha..my pleasure. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate your feedback!
Dude was freaking out when she was driving..😂
Nah..he was super chill!
I may have looked that way but I was actually pretty relaxed. That's just how I am.
Has to be the best sounding bug ever.
I hope you enjoyed it, cause that's all you're getting! Classic.
Haha!! Yes, that was funny. Marc is a really cool guy! Thank so much for watching!
This video has such a massive feel good factor associated with it. The car. The build. The history. The owner. The passion. The look. The sound. This build is the antithesis of today's electric vehicles which are devoid of sound and soul. This is a new channel discovery for me and I'm loving the content! ❤️💜👍😎
Awesome..glad you found us!! Thank you for watching!!
I have been in awe of a lot of hand built custom cars in my life. But I agree with Nicole that this is definitely the coolest one I have ever seen.
Thank you..glad you enjoyed it!
With my 'german' eyes, I noticed the Autobahn and the no speed limit signs. Made me smile a lot.
That's the prettiest bug I've ever seen.
I really like this platform. She's got a great concept. Regular guys that love to talk about their cars. This is the right way to go. We would never see these cool cars without her. I hope that she stays focused of the regular Joe builders.i like that there is no waiting for TV time , you can watch it when you want over and over. She knows what she is talking about, she keeps it fun, she is such a pretty woman and she appreciates her viewers. We're not just clicks. She will actually read the posts and give us a like. Keep tuning in, like her videos, and share them because...because we don't want to lose this great concept.
Once again..thank you for your support of our channel. My team and I really appreciate it!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour It really is a good concept. There has got to be thousands of rare oddball cars out there that were put together one piece at a time. Most had to search far and wide to find everything to put them back together . That's the strory here. You can see the pride in their faces. These people love what they do, you can tell that they love how interested YOU really are in their cars. It's not hard to tell that you really want to know their story. That's the best part, their pride and your appreciation. I think that what you are doing will give us some great content while at the same time giving these people the recognition that they would never get anywhere else. Another idea might be trying to find women who have done this as well. Seriously, you're well versed on these things, there must be more of you. Thanks for the reply...again. You're alright. We can't wait until your next show, Keep them coming.
That was a fun drive! That bug runs great! Thanks for ride! 😎
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Man, this is the most amazing Beatle I have ever seen 😮. It is my FAVORITE! Im just speechless. I want to have this vehicle SO BADLY! Sweet job on this one dude. Just incredible!
Glad you like it! Thank you for watching!!
Probably the most engineered and most dope bug I’ve seen ever.
I have seen this bug in person at a car show and spent about an hour admiring all of its details. Also imaging how it drove and if it was a trailer queen. Now I have my answer. Thanks for showing us how Marc's passion and your enthusiasm make the perfect testimony of just how much fun driving can be.
Wow..thank you so much for such a nice comment. My crew and I work very hard to tell each owner's personal story and still keep the episodes fun and entertaining. No script..ever..just conversation that is real. You're response is exactly what we hope for!!
thanks, glad you got to see it up close.
Yeah he was at the Bugorama that just passed
You're lucky! And she can drive
Another great interview, Nicole. I'm gratified that you don't dumb down the content AND you don't pretend to know everything about everything. Your appreciation and knowledgeable curiosity drive the videos. Shoutout to your camera operator for the excellent B-roll, too.
Thank you so much..we really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed watching!
Perhaps the greatest car ever made. Outsold them all and went everywhere. Cheap to operate and easy to work on. Long live the mighty VW sedan.
Thank you so much for watching!!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour Thank you! keep finding these special cars and I will keep watching sis...
Now there's a bug this man would love! I seriously wouldn't change a thing.
Glad you enjoyed watching..we appreciate it!!
From a Brazilian guy living in Japan to you : ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏
Awe..thank you!!
Marc's pretty good at not flinching!😂
Ha! That's funny! Thanks for watching!!
Dude I'm in love with your bug its so badass!!!
Man I wish this guy would build engines for people. That’s a beautiful job of engineering.
When you're channel becomes really famous, i'm going to tell everyone that i've been here since the blue subaru powered beast :D
Awesome..thank you!!
@Peter Juhasz Doner OG
Nicole: "This is awesome, this is fun!"
Marc: "Yeah this is fun..." 😮😬😳
Great job Nicole, you are a true petrol-head, wonderful to see your appreciation for being in this bug.
😁Thank you..glad you enjoyed it!
My first car was a 65 Bug, second was a 69 Bug. Got a 70 parts Bug and put the 65 body on the 70 chassis. Great memories. Thanks for this video!
The pinnacle of a youtube builder, car and presenter.
Thank you so much..glad you enjoyed it!
Back in '87, I bought a red '73 bug. I loved that car! Even stock it was soooo much fun to drive. I would love to drive that one.
Yes, I'm sure you would enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you for watching!
Beautiful car. Those were the days, simple cars were function followed design to perfection.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for watching!
This thing is the slickest bug on the planet, million dollar bug.
Marc's got the best sounding Vee Dub EVER!
Amazing car and great story! I love bugs, they're so cool.
Thank you for watching. I'm very glad you enjoyed it!
These bugs are super cool, especially the '62 and older. Two-color, real eye-candy.
Thanks for the comment!! We agree!!
I've been messing with beetles since I was 4 years old, so 28 years so far & thats most likely best I've seen. Incredible!
Yes..it's so meticulously designed and engineered! So glad you enjoyed watching! Thank you!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour You're more than welcome :)
That is one serious set up. I definitely would love to drive that Bug. I'd probably be overjoyed just to be a passenger around the block.
Yes, I just love this bug. Marc was very generous to let me drive it..it was awesome! Thank you so much for watching!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour and thank you for getting out there and introducing us to these awesome builds and builders.
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour
Nicole, l can read body language like you obviously can and did during your 'drive'...Mark was, shall we say a little apprehensive????
My First car ever was a 65 1300cc DakDak (Beetle) and because it had been neglected this was also the car I cut my mechanical teeth on and man was it an adventure.
VW did a curious thing with those cars, every part had a number stamped or cast on it, if it was a handed or directional part it had an arrow or instruction and as a young guy with a cheap workshop manual this took away the fear and allowed me to appreciate the engineering art that went into my freedom machine.
The simplicity and quality was astounding for something so inexpensive and I still have many fond memories of the Car and knowing what I know now I can see how Marc dove head first down this rabbit hole :-)
Thank you Nicole for showing a VW engine'd Beetle that ticks ALL the boxes for me and I suspect for you too.
Love it!
Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience with us. I love the engagement! Glad you enjoyed our new episode!
Wow - it's really a '59. It has the larger rear window (they were small ovals before) and the droopy taillights, replaced with larger straighter ones the next year. How great that Mark has kept so much about the car as original, or at least original-looking. A bit dropped up front, but on the road it looks like a true '59. I enjoyed hearing about the original reserve fuel tank feature (and that he added a fuel gauge) and then later seeing, without any comment, that the reserve lever was still there below the dash. When I turned sixteen in 1972, my parents gave me a '59 bug and a box of craftsman tools to keep it running. We had a few awesome years together. My next car was a '64 bus. Love those cars.
Nicole, thanks for this video. Keep being nice to runners and bikers! Mark, your good taste and obsession with detail has created a beautiful monster and also preserved a classic.
Thanks to you both!
Thank you so much for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool bug. Those semaphores are nice!
I agree..loved them! This bug is truly a work of art! Thanks for watching!
That is a very well put together car. Amazing.
Yes it sure is. I'm so glad you enjoyed!
The look on that guys face during the ride, priceless
A strong hug from Brazil from an inscribed in love with Volkswagen beetle(fusca)♥️🇧🇷
Thank you..glad you enjoyed watching!
Wow, what a cool car! The simplicity of old bugs or in this case the complexity! The adaptability, the aftermarket parts for bugs. I remember having a subscription to Dune Buggies and Hot VW'S magazine. Lots of creativity shown in those pages over the years. Thank you for helping us all have a vicarious thrill of driving this machine!
You're welcome..glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you for sharing with us!!
I came for the cars and stayed due to Nicole. Such a character 😊 You really have a keen eye for details 🙂
Thank you..glad you enjoyed watching!
I’m 64 and we used to get early ‘60’s bugs and fix them up. I have always loved them. This is hands down the best I have ever seen. It’s awesome at all levels. Thanks for sharing it!
Glad you enjoyed watching..thank you!
I’ve met this guy & his VW. It’s insanely meticulous. The drivability of this car is perfect.
I agree!! Great description! Thanks for watching!
Sin duda uno de los mejores trabajos realizados a un Bug. Una verdadera joya familiar
Yes..we agree. Thank you for watching!
One of the cleanest builds i ever seen so far, everything looks original
Yes..I agree. Thank you for watching!
Awesomemmmee!!!!!
Nicole, ain’t nutten like driving a bug. I still have my ‘74. She’s longing for some love. Once you drive the bug, it’s like an addiction. U keep going back. Mark did an awesome awesome AWESOME 🤩 job. His attention to details is impeccable. I am all the way in Jamaica 🇯🇲 and I used to drive the heck outa mine. Your find with Marks car has re-energize my passion for my old girl. Thank u soooo much.
Love it!! Thank you so much for watching..glad you enjoyed it!
Bit of a difference to the blue 517hp bug test drive experience who appeared to be hyperventilating during the test drive.....this guy just sat back and enjoyed being taken for a ride in his creation and was quietly processing what was happening to him..so funny to watch. This guy is so cool despite obviously being a bit OCD with the levels of perfection he applied to the build.....you know ....we are not all the same and the ones who produce these builds simply never give up and are something special. You both worked so well together it made great viewing.
Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback. I'm so glad you liked it!
thanks.
Nicole you sum this Bug up so nicely I’m a avid VW fan n this it truly a masterpiece !!
Thank you! I agree..it is a masterpiece..glad you enjoyed it!
Every time that I go down the rabbit hole of the beatle I end up at another brick wall. This amazing fellow has managed to find ways over under around and through those barriers. Thank you for showing us more of the best stuff. God bless American bourne german engineering. Just an amazing fellow with a beautiful dream.
Couldn't agree more! Thank you for watching!!
Wow this is the most beautiful beetle ever seen
It's a beautiful bug !! He does not have a poker face 😄.
Thank you for watching..hope you enjoyed it!
Love that car. I had a '67 Beetle in highschool that was lowered and de-chromed. It was such a blast. He did everything I wanted to do to mine but never got around to. It was also terrifying over 70MPH!
Absolutely sick car. Very tastefully done. Perfect. Great job dude!
We agree..thanks for the watch..glad you enjoyed it!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour Good host too!!
Production value is incredible but the never ending smile watching, priceless.
Thank you so much..glad you enjoyed it!
I am not really fun of the interior color but everything else about that car is a dream that perfectly turned into pure reality. This is actually what a VW Bug should sound, look and drive like. Built quality is amazing too. This guy did a perfect job.
I loved everything about this Bug. Thanks for watching..glad you enjoyed it!
He really did think of everything, it has lumbar support!
Yes..Marc really did think of everything...loved the lumbar support!! Thanks for watching!
This is the most amazing beetle ever!!! I love this channel, it's so awesome!💯💯💯❤
Wow, thanks!
Marc That BUG is AWESOME brother!!!!!! Nothing touches it! It is like the Penultimate!!!!!!
Total Labor of love!
We totally agree!! Thank you for watching..glad you enjoyed!
that marriage of art and engineering will be one to last. And POWER shall be their child. Don't ever sell it, you'll regret it for the rest the rest of your life. ive seen so many stories like that. they'll get the get the keys to my 57 plymouth when im dead. Great video!
Thanks so much for watching..glad that you enjoyed it! I'm with you..doubt Marc will ever sell his baby!
I agree, thanks.
Drive it? You betcha! He did such an impressive job, yet the car looks very stock in most respects. I'm giving you an A+ on this find, Nicole.
I appreciate that! Thank you!
First of all, thanks for this video don't know how you guys found this amazing build. 🙏
Second, the build I mean OH MY GODDDD there are so many small details the man wasn't lying when he said it's years of blood, sweat and tears. I'm not that into bugs but this build is so amazing and so unique. Not to mention Marc is not just a car guy he's an artist TBH.
I totally agree..thank you so much for watching. Glad you liked it!
Marc seems such a nice guy, and man he's smart. If i win the lottery i'd make him an offer he couldn't refuse. That car is beautiful
My parents had a black 66 Bug when I was a kid too! So cool you have kept it all these years. I've owned my 63 since 1994.
Thank you for watching..appreciate the comment!!
thanks, but this is not that car.
Incredible result achieved by Marc and almost as incredible as letting anyone else drive it - after so much time and effort put into its creation. Lucky for you Nicole and all of us, your just not anyone.
Thank you..yes I'm very thankful I get to drive these amazing cars. Marc's bug is just amazing..glad you enjoyed watching!
Dudes face when she started driving lol
This guy cut the roof out of a euro bug. Bold man.
Patience and perseverance of that magnitude is etheral, connected.
This poor guy is nervous but hiding it very well.
That's one of my besties growing up in SF!!! Love you Mark!! DJ VeeDub in the mix! Lmao! Love you bro!
Thanks buddy, hope you're well. DJ VDub in da house!
That's an awesome bug Mark! Congrats on ask the hard work! It really paid off.
And another killer episode Nicole! Thank you!
I totally agree..Marc has done an amazing job with this build. I'm glad you enjoyed watching!
Never seen an episode that didn't leave me grinning like a Chessy cat at the end. 😁
He‘s the VW SINGER 😍👍
thanks.
Bought my first car in 1975, a1956 VW bug for $300.00
Original 6v 1100cc. Dechromed it, slammed it, added a 1776cc, carter carb with Big cam. So fun! And fun memories!
Great post and awesome ride you built sir👍🏽
Thanks for sharing your memories! Glad you enjoyed watching!
Great looking and sounding Beetle! It's definitely a work of art Marc. Thanks for showcasing it for us Nicole.
My pleasure! Glad you liked it!
Great video!! What an amazing car!! This beauty really gave me motivation to customize my 68' bug here in Brazil. Back to the project! Cheers!
Thank you..glad you liked it. Good luck with your bug!
A clean bug with a personal touch, perfect.
Glad you enjoyed watching..thank you!
@@NicoleJohnsonsDetour Keep'em coming, I'm following your channel, just love 60-70's cars.
Probably the best Bug I have ever seen. Great work ! Love it !
Glad you like it! Thank you for watching!!
Can’t believe I’ve only just found this superb channel! Absolutely awesome videography and presenting, she gets a good rapport with the people she meets, they really open up about their cars. I love the way Nicole actually spends time looking at all of the car and has a great knowledge of cars but wants to learn more. She asks the stuff you’d ask yourself if you were there.
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for the kind review. We're so glad you like our channel!
You find the coolest cars to feature. Each one is absolutely amazing, and I love the delivery. Very cool the way you delight in every one of these cars.
Thank you very much for the kind review..It means so much to us!!
"Well, I hope you enjoyed it, because it's all you're getting". Good till the last drop! Marc is so dedicated. Thanks for all your enjoyable videos, Nicole!
Our pleasure! We appreciate you watching!!!
it's gorgeous, simply gorgeous. Love what he did to that classic. Thx for sharing!
