VW Beetle found in Njurunda Sweden after standing in a barn for 33 years.

Probably the nicest barn find anybody has ever seen. Not a mouse turd in sight, seatcovers protected the original upholstery, floor clean. Unbelievable. Hope the engine is in the same shape.

@@surlycrosscheck1 ... I have personally found cars sitting for a decade or more and other than dirt, they were fairly pristine. Where the dry rot issues show up is in a year or so after people use it, and things get shaken up. Of course, those old seats are not filled with foam rubber, they are horsehair. Tires are another story. They will hold air and roll long after they are not safe to drive on. Anyway, on a few of the cars I had to deal with (newer than this) the seats went to dust about a year later, after being exposed to daily use and sunshine.

I, too, bought my first car when I was 18. It was when I had just turned 18 and got my driver's licence. It was a model 1967 (like this one?). Anyway, it had the flat hub caps and slanted headlights (the vertical headlights were introduced on the model 1968, as were the flat bumpers). I bought the car for money earned as a farm hand, and I was sooooooo proud. :-):-). The color of mine was Lotusweiß. I, myself, am a model 1950, and the remaining growth on my head is about the same color as that which I see on your avatar. :-)

I don’t think so, the barn is dusty, not damp. The paint has blemishes consistent with that sort of storage. Obviously the car was in good condition when it was stored. A car in that condition would more than likely have body seals in good condition beetles are reasonably air tight hence lack of dust in the interior. A good find and happy to see it cleaned up and hopefully back on the road soon.

This car brought back some memories. I had a 1966 VW Beetle 1300 that I drove to Guadalajara, Mexico when I went to school there in 1971. After driving it there for few years it was stolen from in front of the house I was living at the time to never be seen again. When I bought it a VW independent mechanic check out the engine and put in slightly larger pistons. It was in effect larger than the normal 1300 and would really move being so light weight. Great fun car to drive.
@doctorrobert609 ай бұрын
Back in the day, putting slightly larger pistons in was common...and also adding an aftermarket exhaust/header, made a decent difference...just doing those two things could give you an extra 5-10hp---making a Bug a more fun car to drive. I did that to my 1962 Ghia...it really made that little car feel sporty! Some guys would go nuts, and install more powerful engines...but then the mpg would drop.

No.... Dirt runs off easier on a cleaner surface and if you start from the top you would rinse the chemichals away making it harder for the dirt to loosen up! You should always start from the bottom when rinsing/shooting away chemichals! When you rinse away the "handwash soap" its ok to start at the top.

My first beetle was bought new by my dad in 1968. he put 100 k miles on it, then my younger brother wore out the tires and the clutch at the same time and just walked away from it. I came along needing a cheap car so they said if you can get it running you can have it. After a new clutch and tires it was buffed up much like in this video--I did it all by hand. I drove it for ten years, eventually sold it for 1000 bucks.

@@surlycrosscheck1 ... I thought the covers were fake fur / wool (cheap fleece material) which would have been fairly common 30 years ago. It holds up well, but the elastic would be toast by now.

I want it!
Amazing, my first car, when I was 18 years old , was exactly the same, I honestly loved it. Now I am already 74, great memories!!!
Same here!
Looks exactly the same as my neighbours car back on the low 1980’s. Tried to buy it as he was over 80 but he wouldn’t. So I bought a 1959 model. Awesome car, but had to sell it as had a kid and no seatbelts.
made in west germany bro 😎🤓
I had a 68 1500 12volt for 13 years. To this day I rate it as the best all round, rugged, and most reliable car I have owned. I deeply regret selling it.
I, too, bought my first car when I was 18. It was when I had just turned 18 and got my driver's licence. It was a model 1967 (like this one?). Anyway, it had the flat hub caps and slanted headlights (the vertical headlights were introduced on the model 1968, as were the flat bumpers). I bought the car for money earned as a farm hand, and I was sooooooo proud. :-):-). The color of mine was Lotusweiß. I, myself, am a model 1950, and the remaining growth on my head is about the same color as that which I see on your avatar. :-)
Never seen a car in that era so clean in my life especially the interior absolutely incredible
😊😊😊
It’s almost like it has been staged. Interior is immaculate with seat covers but no cover on the car? Odd.
Lindo
My thoughts exactly. Four excellent tires and a clean motor with no spiderwebs anywhere.
This is absolutely faked.
My first car I bought second hand....same color, etc. Great to see it again. My mom's 71 VW Beatle was burnt orange and looked like a pumpkin.
What a rare find... Looked good after the wash. Stunning after the polish. Interior was immaculate, obviously the vehicle was cared for.
That interior is a dead giveaway that this car is NOT a barn find. The whole thing was staged.
Beautiful old car. It pretty much just needed a good wash and polish as it was stored in a nice barn and was in great condition to start with. I love it 😊
Barns aren't dry. Barns have rodents. Hmmm
This wassn't a resto... it was a cleanup. The car was in pristine condition to start with.
I don’t think so, the barn is dusty, not damp. The paint has blemishes consistent with that sort of storage. Obviously the car was in good condition when it was stored. A car in that condition would more than likely have body seals in good condition beetles are reasonably air tight hence lack of dust in the interior. A good find and happy to see it cleaned up and hopefully back on the road soon.
Beautiful find and excellent cleanup, a real beauty! Had '60 and '71 sedans, '60 and '74 vans. Still love them.
Thank you for sharing. I used to work on 1300-1800 cc V Dub engines. Rebuilt one down to the crankshaft and out. It took me two months and some new tools but afterward, it screamed. This is a beaut. With new oil and gas, filters, plugs, and a valve adjustment, I can hear her purr right now.
Beautiful Beetle in immaculate condition! You did a splendid job of cleaning it up, too. I would love to find one these. Enjoy!
What a find! Even the seats revealed after you pulled off the covers was an eye opener.

A truly remarkable find. Great on the cosmetics, but I was disappointed not to see a mechanical overhaul done. Is there more to come, hopefully? I’d love to see it being driven under its own power, an even more impressive conclusion…
I bought the exact car, and color in 1963. You brought back great memories. And I’m still driving a VW today, GTI, and love it, thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴
Looks like my first car! I loved that car and wish I had another one. Crazy what a little love and attention can do. Great job!
Absolutely gorgeous! The way that thing cleaned up is a testament to the quality of the factory paint and everything else. That car looks like it’s a year old.
Unfortunately, they don't make 'em like that any more. That,s what I think we should be making now instead of all these electric pieces of crap. I owned a couple of those old "Bugs" back in the day. They were "bullet proof"!
Great work, was a coachbuilder until I retired and also did such repairs at FIAT oldtimers, congratulations on this achievement
It’s absolutely beautiful. I was expecting a respray job, but this is so much better.
What a gorgeous car! Amazing that a good detailing seemed to be all it needed.
Vill bara säga igen att det är så skönt att du jobbar i det tysta, ditt arbete talar för sig själv! Stort tack!
Als ehemaliger Autolackierer Meister kann ich nur Sagen , Respekt vor dieser Arbeit und Auffrischung des alten VW 👍👍👍
This car brought back some memories. I had a 1966 VW Beetle 1300 that I drove to Guadalajara, Mexico when I went to school there in 1971. After driving it there for few years it was stolen from in front of the house I was living at the time to never be seen again. When I bought it a VW independent mechanic check out the engine and put in slightly larger pistons. It was in effect larger than the normal 1300 and would really move being so light weight. Great fun car to drive.
Back in the day, putting slightly larger pistons in was common...and also adding an aftermarket exhaust/header, made a decent difference...just doing those two things could give you an extra 5-10hp---making a Bug a more fun car to drive. I did that to my 1962 Ghia...it really made that little car feel sporty! Some guys would go nuts, and install more powerful engines...but then the mpg would drop.
Stunning Beetle. Lovely original condition. Thanks for sharing.
My very 1st car was a Beetle. I can't wait to own one of these babies again, God willing! What a find!!!
Well done!!! I owned a '66 years ago that I brought back to life, but nothing like this grand old lady! I found mine in an elderly persons front yard and they only wanted 250 USD for her, couldn't let that pass now could I ? Spent many pleasant hours on her, wish I still owned her. Be well and safe peace to you and yours
Looks like something Woody Allen would get in and drive away, commenting on how well they were built. Congratulations~that's a heck of a find!
Sleeper, one of my faves
The barn that protected the Beetle all those years was kept in good repair by the owner of both. One more vintage car that'll see the road again soon enough.
I could see daylight through the boards ! Should have been rodents, droppings, rust
She cleaned up nicely. Not sure why you wouldn't take off the license plates and make it easier....Hope she's running and back on the road soon!
There's some very lucky person out there's going to be driving that incredible barnfind. What a find I'm gobsmacked.
Wow, what a beauty. I believe this is a 1966. I had a 1965, my first new car, that was 1965 and I paid $1,645 dollars for it. The final price with radio and "leatherette seats" was $1,850 us dollars. I was in the US Navy, stationed at Charlestown, SC. I'm not 79.
It's an absolute dream of a barn find!! All original complete cleaned up very nicely, and them Swedish accessories are the cherry on this Kaefer. Super cool, don't change a thing on it.😍😍😛
most of those accessories were available in the USA as well.
Brings back great memories. My first car was a 1960 beetle that I bought in 1973 Was alot of fun to drive, but the heater wasn't worth a crap😅!! Would love to have another one.
Some of those older Bugs came with gas heaters!...They were banned in the USA...But my wife's grandma owned a 1960 Corvair, that had a gas heater...It was just awesome!
On models sold in Canada (at least in the 1950s), the gas heater was automatically included. 😂
Our family had a beetle like this when I was a child. I remember the sound of the seats when they would clunk back into place. What a lucky find. It looks as though it's been repainted. The fender seals would have been black and not body colored.
I could be staged, they painted the car and put some dirt and poo on it... youtube is starting to be a "makebelieve" world for ratings...
Mudguard piping ( in yankee speak “ fender seals”) were ALWAYS in body color NEVER black
Excellent restoration job. Congratulations on bringing that car to life again.
É um modelo que merece ser preservado, o valor histórico desses veículos é incalculável. Adoro WV antigos. * São Paulo/Brasil 🙂
I think she is 1961. Exactly the same VW was given to me by my mother. This brought all the good memories back to me; I am now 80 years old. Bijan, London
1300, hence 1965/1967.......
My '62 has the narrow "pope's nose" license light on the deck lid. This car's light is wider, a sign of a later model.
Excelente estado, praticamente novo. Seria legal ver essa belezinha funcionando, rodando pelas estradas.👏👏👏👏
Olá, eu sou apaixonado por FUSCA e, que maravilha de vídeo, e com este polimento que você fez neste carro incrível. Parabéns e obrigado por nos mostra este lindo carro. 🇧🇷🙋♂️🚗
The most Beautiful car " Beetle " reminds of mine 1962 which i owned from 65 - 78 and have very good memories & dream about it now and then . If given a chance would still love to own . The best ever Car producerd by Germany . Best of luck 👍
I had a 1966 VW in 1971 and it had the 1300 on the back just like this one. I loved that car!
Probably the nicest barn find ever. If you find one of these in the states there usually isn’t much remaining to work with.
You could tell right away the car was in excellent shape to begin with.

This car is a once in a lifetime barn score. The condition is superb and a wonderful ride that is stock!!! Why is there no running clips? I have been a vw tinkerer for 45 years and I really would have been excited to see it run 😞
I would have a look at the fuel reservoir first. The gas had time to turn into syrup.
Love these cars! Would have liked to see if it runs as well!
You did a very nice refurbishing on that barn find. Looks great and should be a pleasure to drive that as well... Thumbs Up!
Amazing. Miss owning my 1974 Super Beetle. Thank you.
Gorgeous! I love Old Beetle's, Awesome job!
WOW! What a transformation. Had a 57 bug. Bombed around the country going to rock concerts. This was back in 71. Went from California to Louisiana for a big concert. "Celebration of Life". Billed as a Woodstock II. Destination sucked getting there was fun. Loved my old bug, so many memories.

My first car was a red 1963 1300 VW Beetle and this brought it back to life for me. I would have loved to have heard that motor again, it looked like it would have started right up too.
The 1300 cc (actually 1285 iirc) engine wasn't used until 1966. It was an upgrade year from the previous 1200 cc.
Que carrinho bonitinho!!!! Tive um desses ano 67, exatamente nessa cor!! Foi meu primeiro carro, muitas recordações da juventude!!! grato por compartilhar essa pequena maravilha!! Abraços do Brasil!!! 😃👏👏👏💖

I had that exact year ('66) Beetle. It's readily identifiable by certain features. I wonder about the mechanicals and how many miles/km are on it
One of the first cars I drove was a 1966 Beetle, same savannah beige color too. Difference was it was American so it had bumper overriders and a dent behind the drivers door.
My first car was a beetle,a orange one ,my second was a yellow convertible.I don’t have either of them now but I can’t stop loving them❤️💕❤️Chrissy
Hey great job!! It came up pretty well for a barn find !
wow what a 'find'! That's not a barn car, that's more akin to a sleeping beauty. Great content. 🤩

Barns are not dry. Barns have rodents. No rust ? Hmmm
My first car was a 1968 Beetle. I got it in 1972 and it didn't look nearly this good.
They didn’t even check to see if it is a runner or not!
Wonderful. I remember my dad had a '65 all red, identical to yours! I love this car. Here in Brazil it is increasingly expensive to acquire a prototype of this era, whether as a body or running, preserved or not.
Not truly identical. This is a '66 which has certain identifiable features.
Show...tá espetacular ...qual ano de fabricação ?
What an absolutely stunning and beautiful car. I'd rather have this electrified and simple with no driver assist electronics. Than a modern car. Perfect urban runabout. ❤
Electrified????? Please no 😮😢
We had a 1956 Beetle it must have been top of the range, it had valve radio & petrol gauge ,trafficaters, 6 volt & 26inch wheels. Registration number SAD 587
❤ what a beautiful unspoilt beetle. What a fantastic find.
Beautifully done. Looks brand new again
That's an amazing barn find of a 1966 Seasand beetle with Platinum Mosaic interior in mint condition...not many left in the world looking like that....thanks for sharing it! I hope you can preserve it without modifications...
What a great car to bring back to life. I love the Beetle.
Great work! What remains a mystery to me is why weren't the registration plates removed before starting the job.
Nice job, good to see it looking so clean! What was that polish compound you used on the bodywork? Seemed to work like magic!!
What color is that "Oatmeal Puke No.13"
@@robertdominguez1304 I like the color
That's my sister's favorite car!!! My father had a 1966 VW Bug and a 1972 VW Bug. My sister had a 1966 Bug and a 1973 Bug.
...something about a girl in a bug for sure.
Nice 65! Great find ... I'm Volkswagen enthusiast !! Hello from France 🇫🇷
i always wanted an old VW like that (1963 is my favorite year for those) , i just never got serious about finding and buying one , i love the old VW vans too , wonderful vehicles!
Absolutely one of my FAVORITE cars to drive!
I need this car in my life. I had one growing up and I loved it. Nice job.
It’s more efficient if u go from the top down when you wash so you don’t re-rinse a lot. The more u know. 🌈⭐️ cool video !!!!!!
No.... Dirt runs off easier on a cleaner surface and if you start from the top you would rinse the chemichals away making it harder for the dirt to loosen up! You should always start from the bottom when rinsing/shooting away chemichals! When you rinse away the "handwash soap" its ok to start at the top.
@@eriks825 said like that it makes sense. Thanks for educating me. 💯
Great find. First class job cleaning it up!
i love old Beetles and this one cleaned up nice and the inside looks great .
The most loved automobile ever produced, an engineering marvel in reliable simplicity, no radiator air cooled, would have to be the world's first utterly reliable car without doubt.
But totally unsafe!
i agree with everything but i would say it is the second,, the utteraly reliable early ford flathead also is this way. run forever with little work even if left sitting for 60 or 70 years
Amo restauração! Parabéns! " nada se perde, tudo se aproveita."
I bought a '67 VW Beetle 1300 a few years ago. The car is in amazing, original condition. I'm only removing a few "embellishments" from the previous owners to restore it to the condition it was in when it was delivered. Great video 😊👍
Congratulations, what a great find. This Beetle is in an excellent condition.
No mice/rat damage? Hard to believe, after sitting for 25 years.
@@curbozerboomer1773you probably don’t know much about the Swedish climate.

What an absolute dream of a find... might as well have got in a time machine and brought one back from the 60's
Well done that colour came alive, very nice
Nice job, great car, it would have been good to know the brand and grade of polishes and other fluids you used, so we could all learn.
I used www.gordetmedrw.se products for the wash and rupes products for the polishing.
Fantastiskt skick, grattis! De rostar ju rätt friskt annars, men till och med plåtarna till värmen lär ju vara intakta på denna!
Det var en väldigt fin förvandling av en klassisk VW Beetle. Tack för att du delar videon. Jag njöt verkligen.
I used to have one of these. A European market '67. It's just like our US market 66, including the 6v electrical system.
HELT OTROLIGT! Underbart att se. Bra jobbat LG.
My first beetle was bought new by my dad in 1968. he put 100 k miles on it, then my younger brother wore out the tires and the clutch at the same time and just walked away from it. I came along needing a cheap car so they said if you can get it running you can have it. After a new clutch and tires it was buffed up much like in this video--I did it all by hand. I drove it for ten years, eventually sold it for 1000 bucks.
Amazing that the engine was still in good shape?...Those beetle engines usually needed a rebuild after 100 thousand miles, if not before that!
Parabéns pelo ótima apresentação do vídeo, acredito que um dia terei uma jóia rara como essa , pois sou apaixonado por fusquinhas até o ano 1973 de preferência azul niagara e motor 1500 "famoso fuscão "
All closed up only thing bad is twenty years sitting in a pigeon coop. Looks good under Both hoods. My first observations at 4 min into the video. This is an excellent detailers video. Did not know about how to derust paint flecks with what seems like light acid wash. And once that wash was de activated and the paint oxidized and dried out, buffing started, walking around.... Some yellowing inside the left bus light and no left backup light.
Fantastikt trevligt video, och ett bra jobb av dig. Som förvaltar ett stycke kulturhistoria både med denna bil och tidigare Saab å Volvo bilar:) Hade varit kul å få se den live. Ha en fortsatt fin sommar.
Wow! Riktigt häftig video! Bra jobbat Hampus!💪💪💪👍👍👍😜🙏
Lovely cars. Best last year model with those lights.
Wow, what a transformation what product did you use to clean it up and polish the exterior and interior?.
Sehr gute Arbeit. Der zuvor stark verschmutzte Lack konnte offensichtlich gerettet werden. So muss es sein. Und der Chrom konnte auch gerettet werden. Hut ab für diese vorbildliche Aktion. Das hat mir sehr gefallen.😊😗
Would have liked to have seen the shape the engine was in and how it and the electrical were working. Seems to be in pretty good shape for a "barn find".
It is back in its full glory, just as it appeared at the end of the assembly line in West Germany during the _Wirtschaftswunder!_
