Our Super 74: VW Super Beetle Tour 

Such a beautiful ride. Great job!! I’m working on restoring a 914 and a Beetle right now. I’d be happy if mine looked half as good as yours.

Mate don't worry about all the negative comments, I am a motor mechanic with more than 46 years experience and the car looks pristine, good job. Take care and greetings from australia

Love the beetle ... but what I'm most jealous of is the garage to have such a decent home for it!!! Nice

I also have a "baby blue" super beetle so trust me when I say your not done yet. I know... I've been driving mine 44 years. What a conversation we could have.

Had a ‘74 Super Beetle through high school and most of college…senior year college I got an Audi 4000 and felt like I jumped into the future.

nice car ..love the colour

Nice job. Love it. My aunt had a red one 74 and i loved it back then. Good times. 😁

Awesome review! You own a very durable antique model of car. Amazing!

I am restoring a 74 SB Convertible. Dashboards are very difficult to find unblemished . Great job on yours!

I have a Super '74 of my own. I love how you say it's more than just a car. Driving a bug is more like riding a horse than driving a car. You FEEL the car, you're connected to the car. It's unlike any thing else. Keep the videos coming.

Since the introduction of 1971 Super Beetle, the rear crescent vents replaced these rear butterfly windows. As a kindergarten kid, I was pissed off that our 1971 Super Beetle new car got fixed rear windows. It's so cool that you got both, in addition to the standard front wing wings. In 2002, I simply collected the 1984 Jetta coupe (the latest hardtop VW with wing wings) & had to modified in order to have these fixed wind wings open, just like Cabriolet's std feature.

I love that color scheme. I want one

Great video! I am thinking of restoring a 74 Super Beetle.

Beautiful job. I had a 74 same color. I found a 69 Ghia that was heading to the scrap yard to be crushed. My son and I are working on it together! Our goal is to get it running and on the road and enjoy driving 👍✌️. Hope to see you on the road 👍

Thanks Jason for such a fast and awesome response. Much appreciate Tim

How can anyone give you nothing but thumbs up. Nice upgrades. It’s really cool. Father in law would be proud!

I’m restoring a ‘78 Super Beetle convertible, I just cannot wait to restore it to a condition like this! Your Beetle looks so great.

Great video, Jason, it’s obvious you really love that little car. They seem to do that to us. I’ve owned a total of 11 VWs, 5 of them Beetles, a ‘65 red convertible, a white ‘67, an orange ‘74 Super, a ‘64, and my favourite, and first new car, a 1975 La Grand Bug, special edition SuperBeetle in Ancona Blue, with a sunroof, leather and corduroy upholstery, rosewood dash, rack and pinion steering, fuel injection, and a factory Blauplunkt AM/FM 8-track stereo. I drove that car from Vancouver to Mexico, then Vancouver to the east coast and back through the American Midwest. Never so much as a single problem on all those road trips. The only time it let me down was when it died in an intersection close to home, a few months after I got it, and I had to have it towed back to the dealership. A wiring harness fastener came undone disconnecting the engine from what was telling it what to do. A two minute fix that never happened again. It broke my heart when my situation forced me to sell it, but I’ve regretted it ever since.

Nice job on your bug . I bought a standard 73 bug . I’ve replaced the 1600 cc with a 1641 cc . She runs like a brand new car now and she needs a new paint job. The kids love the bug at the elementary school down the road. I’m learning as I go on mine.

Had a new brand new Super ‘74 that my wife and I drove from New York to California and back during our honeymoon in the summer of 1974. Camped in many national parks as well as “climbed” to top of Pikes Peak. Fritz never missed a beat and brought us home safely. The most memorable car I’ve ever owned.

Great video! I have a 76 Super Beetle convertible that has also been in the family since new. It’s been through a lot, including 3 teenage boys in the 70s and 80s, but still running strong!

Very nice you v w super escarabajo 👍🏼

Thats a fantastic little bug . Love your passion . I have a 1963 and 1972 . Thanks for the video . cheers from the Uk

Speaker setup is legit. An in-depth video on the audio system setup and design would help a lot of people out. Great job keeping her alive and kicking!

Great video of your "74 Super Beetle, Jason. I bought mine in May of 1974 and, with my wife, spent my honeymoon driving cross country from Long Island, NY to Tijuana Mexico (camping in several national parks), up the coast of California and back to NY during that summer. Was a great car and I share your passion for the '74 Super Beetle version of "the people's car."

I have the same Super Beetle same color! I was the second owner! I just got it back from a family friend I sold it too and am going to start restoring!!!!!❤

You inspired us to make a channel after inheriting two VW classics. Thanks for the great videos!

That is one clinking car , I had a 1302s in the 70s. Drove it everywhere for 9 years. Loved it

I also owned a 74 Super Beetle bought in in early 77. It was black with red interior and really in good condition. Only VW I've owned that didn't leak oil. I enjoyed it for years. Now I'm trying to fix up a 72 Super. Not going the restoration route but just a dependable daily driver with a bit of performance. Great video and keep up the good work.

This is so cool, l can agree with getting Beetle fever, cos we got it too 😀 Bought a 1972 1302S, and a month ago, it got new paint, same as the original orange... Fixing it to be as good as we can get it. This summer, we take it on a trip to Swedish mountains...will be s Awesome 😁

Love the two-tone paint job!

I had a 74 sb marina blue. Like yours. 🙂 Purrrrr. Enjoy !!

Reminded me of the last car my grandma has ever driven, also a white 74 bug.....owned that car when my mom was a kid until my childhood....

Hi Jason.. love the beetle.. took me down memory lane. I was a prouder owner of a 1300 n later 1303 super beetle 1974.. I ve learnt alot from my 1300 .. plenty of interesting stories.. but mostly enjoyed 1303 by far the best rides I ve ever own brought a tear to my eyes.. thank u..and well done hats off to u .💪

Nice car, I have a 71 super beetle myself and enjoy it very much!!!

Sweet video! Very well done! I like all of the custom stuff you did to the car. It is a passion that never ends!

Hey buddy you did a great job on that bug one tip for you move your fuel filter from your engine bay to the under side of the car above the transaxle to prevent a engine fire there's a bracket you can buy to mount it I have a 1971 standard beetle and I moved mine under it

Awesome! Really enjoyed the video of your VW - I learned to drive on one with a semi auto stick - great car! Thanks again for sharing.

Loved the video and your car. I’m getting ready to do the Topline upgrade to the suspension and brakes on my Super Beetle. Glad to see that you are happy with it.

Thank you for putting together an enjoyable video! I also have a Super Beetle that happened to include some original documents. You’ve inspired me to look for the dealer plate frames where my Bug was originally sold, Wes Behel Volkswagen in Sunnyvale, CA. Cheers!

Good pick with the Jetta GLI seats. I have a Mk1 GLI and even at 35 years old they are the most comfortable seats I've ever been in

Love watching your beetle videos Jason! Love your enthusiasm and video quality.

Gorgeous super beetle! My dad has a ‘70 standard with the metal sunroof. These are the cars that made me really love cars!

I watched this video 3 times and will probably watch again. I just bought a 1978 Super Beetle convertible and am so excited! I don’t know if I’ll ever have the knowledge to do the engine work you have done, but there’s a lot of other things I know I can do. Thank you for the inspiration.

Awesome car & video, thank you for posting! You are very good.

Your car and video is very beautiful. I have a 1969 standard beetle and it too turns well. Congratulations from Sri Lanka

Great video and great work on the car. I just purchased a 74 Super Beetle. I just replaced one of the floor pans and have tackled some body rust. Thanks for sharing your video. I learned a lot.

Awesome restoration on your car. And your enthusiasm and the pride in your work is equally awesome! I had a black 1974 super beetle, probably my favorite car of all that I've owned, and still wish I had it. I've added your video to my favorites to watch again, and probably again many more times.

Great car, these bugs are so timeless!

Amazing video amazing car. Thumbs up and subscribed!!

Oh man! Is that a dang sweet bug, I really like the two tone combo of this one! Looking forward to restore my bug to rock that pretty two tone look....

Looks fantastic! I put a cover over the back storage area with speakers in it on my bug too and it really added to the bass, at least to my 17 year old ears. But then I can see the roof rack becoming necessary.

You're both superb! Thanks for sharing..

I own a new beetle 2.3 v5 which I love but I love your super beetle too. I’ve loved the super beetle since it came out in the early seventies especially the 1600 version like yours. I’m proud to be a beetle owner just like you are. Thank you for the tour of your tasteful and practical mods you’ve done. 🇬🇧

Yours has seen a lot of love. Looks and sounds great. Like your custom additions. I hope to have a good time with my own Beetle (Super, or not) within the year or so. Thanks for a great video.

Congratulations, it's looks very Nice!!

LOOKS GOOD, AND AS LONG AS YOU LIKE IT, WHO CARES !!! Going tomorrow morning to buy a1974 yellow one, with 78,000 on the clock . Hope it don`t nickel /dime me to death !!!!

Very nice Super, Jason. I am the owner of a 79' Super Karman convertible. I have the added pain of the Bosch EFI on mine. Parts can be a challenge but it's a great driving car. I'm currently replacing the floor pans on mine. Nice to see someone who doesn't bash on the Super Beetle for a change. It's a much nicer drive than the early bugs.

Hello from Melbourne Australia! I really enjoyed the Video, i have a 73 'SuperBug' as they call them here. I love it, it's a head turner. So I fully understand the passion you have for yours, they are a unique vehicle. Not everyone gets it, but there are plenty who do. Mine also is a Blue/ White combination & it looks quite smart in my opinion :)

Who wouldn't like this guy and love that SuperBeetle? Great video man. Subbed

drove this car in high school back in 1984 very nice car same color baby blue

Congratulations very beautiful that your car! A lot of zeal brings an incredible result. Here in Brazil the name of your car is Fusca!

Amazing man, really was a tearjerker vid.

Saw your video...Great! Thank you for posting it.

Great job,beautiful car👍

Such an amazing bug , you did an amazing job

Thanks so much for sharing your video, your wonderful family, (they're so cute), and your Awesome 74 Super-beetle. Your story made me a subscriber. I hope to make my 1970 beetle as Awesome as yours. Keep the videos coming, I'll be up front with the popcorn. :-)

Nice tour of your car 🚗 I think I am going to add the dual carburetors to mine . I putting a new dash cover also. You should be very proud you did a very nice job

Great ride, Jason. Fun video, too. When you decide to go back to the stock carburetor, Tim Robeson does a premier job of restoring original Solex carbs. His company name is Volkzbitz. You can have him restore yours, or buy one of his. Not as expensive as you’d think, either. He also lives in Washington State. He restored my Solex 34 pict 3 in 2012 (and also installed a threaded inlet barb) in 2012. Here it is nine years later in 2021, and I’ve had no problems with it. Check him out.

Recaro seats. Perfect! I would do the same. My 73 SB had the vinyl. Could get sweaty in the heat.

Excellent great nod love your beetle

thanks for a great video, I had a 1972 and mine was never this nice.

Superb video Jason.

Very cool man! Very cool!

That car looks great!!!

So yeah I’m definitely doing the brakes!!

I have a 73. Behind your vents isn't rusted nearly as bad as mine was. If you get that "death foam" out, you can probably save a lot more original metal than I did. There are videos about how to get it out.

I personally would never invest in a 70s beetle but in your situation, its a must and great work nonetheless.

Ok... honestly.... I hate the white sides. But, super nice guy, loves his bug, probably a great family man, you got me. Subscribed and liked.

Good video and very informative for me.

Nice video and a SUPER.. Super Beetle.

Nicely done restoration! definitely a car you drive for life. Had a 72 in a fairly mint condition back in 06 from my grand dad as a college gift. Sold it because I was young and stupid ( If its not fast, its grabage mentality). Planning to get one hopefully within 2 years if I find a good deal

I have 2 Super Beetles, I love your video.

Great Job!

Cool thanks Jason 👍

Beautiful. Exact replica of my 71 Super 👌

Hi I like you're video too much that is clear and multi angles Thank you And I wish you make another one to explain the different between beetle and super beetle as the main parts and main design . So thanks .

loved it-cool

Mate, love this beetle!

I just purchased my first beetle. It is also a 74 super. I just repaired the rust in at the vents. I am wondering if you have some part numbers. You have done an amazing job and I would love to upgrade mine with some of what you have done.

Great Job! and Good Video

Very nice car. A good exhaust, dual KAdron carbs, and a high quality performance distributor and coil would wake that little 1641 up and would run much better. I’m personally no fan of two tone paint jobs and color matched wheels especially on a late model car and think the roof rack looks like too much. Nice and clean is my style. I give you huge credit however for not installing headlight eyelids. Thate stock blue with some tasteful wheels such as sprint stars, cosmically, etc would look great with the standard blue paint. That’s just my opinion, and really enjoyed your video. Enjoy this vw !

Great videos , love the bug ! I’m one of the team members that put on our local show called “ The Great Canadian VW show Weekend “ here in Vancouver B.C. , looks like you aren’t too far !? , we have been to some shows down in Washington also !

Your a wonderful story tellers!

Cool enjoyed it

Great video. I’m in Salem Oregon. I have a 1969 VW bug and a 1992 Dodge D150.

excellent job

Amazing video and a great car . I’d love to own one someday

AWESOME EXPO 74 REGISTRATION STICKER. aHHH! Look up the "Wild westerner Bus" It was a special edition bay window bus/trim that was for Expo 74. It matched the Expo logo colors of Blue and green.

Got a 1971 Clementine Orange Super Beetle new in 1971 with the auto stick transmission. Drove it through colledge and in 1977 put in some 8x10 Jensen speakers
