Still Air-Cooled… Just Not How You Think ⚡ | 1966 VW Bug

This 1966 Volkswagen Beetle might look like your typical classic Bug, but underneath it’s a completely different story.

In this Behind the Build episode, we’re taking you through the entire conversion, breaking down the components, the engineering, and everything that went into giving this 60-year-old classic a new lease on life while preserving the character that makes these cars so special. The best part? It’s still air-cooled, still has gears, and still has all the charm of a classic Volkswagen. Just without the gasoline!
