1966 vw bug find. can we get it to run? 

At 76 I'm too old to be repairing ancient vehicles any more, but I loved watching you guys. As you worked I could smell again the old cracked rubber and stale gasoline. When you were through and backed the old VW into the garage I reached to open a letter from today's mail and was left wondering why there were no blackened greasy fingerprints on the envelope! Thank you for a wonderful trip down memory lane.

I don't care if this video is 5 years old. This channel is a treasure trove of information for the amateur mechanic/home tinkerer.

COIL ,CHOCK WIRE OFF OR CHOCK STUCK , PLIGS AND WIRES BAD FULE bad OR DEAD SHORT in the SWITCH pr starter bad its pretty simply stiff thats why its called the PEPOLES CAR 🖒

Officially Evicted

I miss visiting New England where you find 'normal' Americans. Beautiful scenery. At first I thought you might be from Ontario until I clued in, Mustie1. Have a great day, sir. Enjoy your channel: always an automatic like.

It followed me home can I keep it ; )

Despite never owning, driving, or working on a vintage VW, I can see the simplicity of them being appealing for projects.

When was the last time it ran before you got it going again?

A special towbar?

Good job. You guys were killin' me with blowing out the birds' nests. I'm here going shopvac. Shopvac. SHOPVAC. Ha. I wouldn't want to breathe that stuff.

the shots of the lumber truck towing the bug were no less than time travel. Thanks.

LOVE your beetle and bus videos! Had a '62 beetle as my first car back in the early 70s, so they mean a lot to me. Ever hear of this one? I was driving it about 50mph out in the country and the left rear wheel came off, pushed through the fender and rolled out into a field as I skidded to a stop - seeing sparks shoot out the back in my side mirror. We found the wheel and what happened was the cottar key worked itself out of the axle nut and the whole assembly came off. Luckily the nut and cottar key were still in the hubcap, so we got it put back together and I was on my way. Ordered a new fender and was good as new.

I guess that you are aware that we love these "Will it run?" videos. Thanks for another one.

Another VW Bug saved. You are the go to guy when it comes to VW repair and restoration that for sure

Everytime one of these cranks up I feel a little joy.

Huge thanks from South Florida!

Sweet!! I love the smell of Mustie in the morning! Excellent way to start a morning...

Ive wanted a VW Bug since I was a teenager. 2 have slipped through my fingers, and now they are getting real hard to come by. These videos make me incredibly happy. Thanks.

Another sweet old Bug saved by Mustie and friend. That little guy would make an excellent "Herbie". Thanks for sharing!

Brought back memories for me , I only rebuilt three VW air cooled engines . In the 70s we could completely rebuild an engine for about $300 . After working on the over electrical , computer controlled junk they make now it would be relaxing rebuilding one of these . I trouble shot several fairly new ones where the engine was wrecked because people put multi weight oil in , so the viscosity valve would not open and they would burn up with zero oil going through cooler . We built one Bradly GT Kit for a guy . That was just about the most fun ever ! I get guys that say they want to learn about mechanizing etc. but they never devote the time to swing by .
