Hey back in the late 80s this old man had this junkyard and gave me his racing heads off his old VW. He helped me build a pretty quick Bug
Seeing this man...i can fell him, that beetle keep him young and active! He loves racing it, banging thru the gear!! Love it!! forever young grand Pa
It's a miracle the engine lasted the whole day.
Love the old school wide rims and arch flares!
Grandpa's beetle is cool and fast
Heck YEAH, GET SOME GRANDPA!!!! Damn she sounds good!
Back to Basic.. Simple and Pure..
Man now that's a oldie but goodie. And the grey hair makes it better.
I love vw bugs! I had 3 of them. Your is great!
Speedy old guy
Very Awesome, GRANDPA!!!!
Wish tube was around when I raced my 1962 model beetle back in the late 80's 280hp was fun in something that weighed only 680kg
Grandpa's bug went FULL HERBIE MODE
sweet sound.
Gotta luv them Bugs!
Love the flared fenders
Love that beetle😏
I HAD ONE WITH 1835 BIG BORE KIT FITTED TO A TWIN PORT 1600. IT WENT PRETTY WELL BUT WAS VERY HAIRY TO DRIVE AT ANY SORT OF HIGH SPEED .FUN CAR ALL THE SAME
...love it...Pops seems to have spiked that Bug...
Love that beetle
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, einfach fantastisch! Toller Sound und Optik. Schade, dass bis auf 2 Mal der Start verpatzt wird.
awesome everyday driver.
i meet this grandpa every years on Spa Francorchamps for Le Bug-Show
Really nice looking 1302 Beetle 👍and it seems with enough horsepower 😎
Working on my 3rd beetle
Geiler Sound!
That is a damn cute beetle! Love the paint and wheel/tire fitment. Great taillights too. Tastefully done.
+David McClelland and this one is really fast like herbie 😂
PRonTheRoad Looks like it! I actually almost mentioned Herbie, as I grew up in that era and saw it in the movie theatre. But didn't want to date myself. Glad someone else knew about him.
+David McClelland I've one from 1957 :)
Hell yeah!!!
Old Skool Cool!
I wish my grandpa was like that
Cool 😎
Sounds really trick especially between shifts
Rock n roll grandpa
Egal wie alt man(n) ist Auto bleibt Auto also geil.
Awesome vw bug
cool video!
+kinga skiba 😀😀 thanks bro! I love this VW's
Go Go Go beetle ❤️❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷
I want to by that lovely 70's Bug! 💕
By 2:29 he needed to reset the valve lash
The only bug I have ever loved.
Amazing grandpa! Wish i could have de the same haha
:D
I have :)
Build not Bought 👍🏼
engine and tuning?
Schaut nicht schlecht aus 👌🏻
👏😇💘.Старт великолепен как и сама машинка! А чо ж финиш то не сняли?
Läuft und läuft und läuft und läuft und läuft und läuft und läuft und läuft ....
a caixa de marchas do TIOZAO precisa de nova relação mais longa tipo caixa de VW SP2
haha porsche 911 turbo gt3 rs :D ..nice :D
Never trust a grandpa with a Beatle...
He might be fast!
It's a "super beetle" with the greater and heavier body. The older body is lighter (take a look at Herbie or the mexican beetles) and better for racing.
That is not a super beetle. Super beetles had a curved windshield. This one has a flat windshield.
Super beetles had far superior suspension and thus much better (and safer..) handling.
@@alex_k1410 You right i had one curved window twin carb 50 mm a piece forged 3/4 cam a big fit on bore that thing was nutz..
What motor and mods were done to that beetle?
Bob Hoffeld (are you watching?)
The old Beetles are the only import cars I ever really liked.
Well you never drive a second generation Honda CRX she is the best of all
Wasserboxer?
It looks like the original engine, with minor modifications )).
I think I'ts type 4 engine in very nice 1302 body
What engine you running in the vw
healthy
Tonella, na Alemanha?
Da sieht man mal was ein Typ 4 Vollumbau so leistet... Und was Gewicht und Gewichtsverteilung ausmacht
Super Käfer
EJ sounds good
That bug is on steroids
Shame my bug only a 1200 :(
+Leon White I've one 1100 😅
Geil
When you get the bug
You dont get the bug the bug gets you
now that's a bug lol but I think he was short shifting it
The few times he lost was probably due to slow shifting. So he definitely has a shifting issue... I think he still has a standard shifter (or not fast enough) and may need a short shift kit, or do something about the transmission.
@@Lowonfuel short shifting means he was shifting to soon he should have let it rev higher
@@danhard8440 I know the word... and I did mean slow-shifting, that was the first thing I noticed. Many cars with standard transmissions had shift sticks with long throws that made fast shifting-gears nearly impossible. As for the engine revs, the engine idles normally, and it doesn't sound like he has a racing high revving cam installed. I know cams have changed a lot, and he may have one of the torque camshafts, but they are not designed to take the engine revs much higher than stock, they are designed to improve HP and Torque starting from lower RPMs and deliver the power during a wider power band but start losing power at higher RPMs.
@@Lowonfuel what your talking about is with the linkage not the transmission or short shifting
@@danhard8440 And you're talking about the engine acceleration without consideration for the shift linkage or transmission gear ratios, etc., etc. and It all goes together if the linkage is not right, and the shift stick is too long which was very usual those years, it takes longer to shift gears and I say this because the guy takes longer in-between/shifting gears than normal for a drag race.
You may have driven a performance-oriented car and noticed they have short shift sticks, with short throws, those make shifting faster and smoother (that's what the short shift kit I was talking about does). Older cars did not have that, almost all had tall shift sticks with long throws.
And if you pay close attention, he's shifting at about the same moment the competitors do. And sometimes he takes even longer than necessary (for the engine power)... that's when the higher gear comes on and the tires grab the road, making it evident the speed was higher than necessary for the next gear. It's as bad to shift too late, as it is to shift too soon.
J ai vue qu'on peux monté le moteur cox a 3 l c est fou il faux faire pareille avec le flat 6 de la corvair Chevrolet
what year model is this?
+axiatix1992 I don't really know but it's old 😂
Looks to be a 1973 Super Beetle
the front windshield is flat, making it 71-72. in '73 the windshield was curved and projected forward.
European spec Super Beetle. Has modifications. Likely said was a 1973 SB because of tail lights. Agree 71-72 SB.
😳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏆🥇👊🏼🇧🇷
Why is the old VW Beetle better than the new VW Beetle
,,Engine swap"
Porsche motor?
What engine does it have?? Sounds like an air cooled beetle...not a subaru I dont think....
PORSCHE
Very nice, sounds like a honda lol
Verry lire my
Das ist ein VW Käfer
Wirklich?
Was du nicht sagst.
He could easily race for some time yet ,if he chose to do so...he's not that old...
Wait a damn minute it's diesel
His lucky number is 4
Adjust ur valves
So loose
Sounds like a VW engine, but which?
Mit DSG wäre er noch 2 Sekunden schneller auf 100 kmh.
Deine Aussage tut schon hart weh🤦🏻♂️🥶
Beetle 'destroying the opposition since 1938' you're welcome!!
So was it a quarter mile run? What was the time? What's the point? Thumbs down.
He drive for fun not perfect times...
@@c-za6699 if he wanted to drive for he wouldnt have come to a timed track for racing.
@@carguy1013 everyone can drive quartermile in germany, 70% od all starters dont drive for best time, only for show....
Das Auto ist in Deutschland angemeldet, anstatt in Amerika.
Next time place a camera at the finish. Now you are giving us only half a video for our money
Der verbrennt ja mehr Öl als Benzin
Da werden 48er Weber montiert sein und bei Vollgas rauscht schon ne Menge Sprit durch. Eine Ölwolke wäre blau.
@@bergerjong9197 und, erkennst du das blau? Mit Farbfernseher erkennt man das gut
@@ronnyturbogolfcabrio7640 Na riech doch mal.
Das ist definitiv Sprit.
