I Found These Classic VW Beetles for My Customers | Find-A-BuG

Hey guys, Chris again from Classic VW Bugs. I'm back up at my shop in New York and wanted to make a quick video again about Find-A-Bug. Guys, Find-A-Bug has been very popular as of late in my shop. Here's a car right here that we found in Delaware. This Turkish 62. Found it for a client. This car is going out to Chicago. And you know, so he called me up and said, hey, I'm looking for such and such kind of a car, this kind of color, this kind of a year. Can you find it for me? And sure enough, we found this one in Delaware. Now what's funny is, and this happens a lot, sometimes these cars have already come through my shop. So it goes through the circulation. These owners have the cars for say, you know, a few years, four or five years and you know, in today's day, some people then just want to change. They want to go maybe something earlier, something later. And so that's a bonus because then if it's gone through our shop before, then it almost always checks out pretty well, right? So a couple changes this client wanted done, so found them in a good price range for this. You know, something like this could probably be mid to high teens, mid-20s, something like that for a car that's pretty much turnkey, ready to go. It's not 100% perfect show car. Paint does have a little discrepancies here and there, but very presentable vehicle. So when the car came in, he wanted wide white wall tires put in on it. And we had already had a nice interior in this, so that was really good. Very cool. Headliner was a little wrinkly in some spots, so I had to straighten it out in the back to the best that we could in order to really get some of those other wrinkles out. I'd have to probably tear this all out and redo it, but we straightened some things out here and basically this car checked out really, really well. And so off to Chicago. Very cool car. Find a bug, guys. If you guys want me to find you a bug, this is a great opportunity to come through us because we inspect these vehicles up and down prior to purchase. I know what questions to ask these sellers, how to drill them on certain components of the car, and make sure we are not buying a lemon for you. It is peace of mind. Keep that in mind. All right, and then part of my commission is bringing the car to our shop and we do a full inspection here because it's very rare that the car is ever 100%. And then here's another car that is going to Texas. We got this car out of Idaho. Red 67. Very, very cool looking car. Very popular. People would love red 67s. So when this car was shipped here, the owner wanted some new add-ons. He wanted to go gloss black powder coated wheels. He wanted the brake bar in the back here on the window. We went with a German distributor. He wanted to go with that. This is going to Texas. So he wanted a German distributor, 009, with all the right components in it. So we did that for him. He also, for safety, wanted high back seats put in. So we found seat frames from 1970 Beetle. We upholstered them in the off-white, so he wanted for safety. He will still get, as you see in the back seat, the low back 67 seats. So he'll get that as well. And then he also wanted some gauges put in. So we put a tach, temperature gauge, oil pressure, radio also put in. We did that for him as well. So we can do a number of add-ons for you if you want any changes done to the car. Sometimes we find a vehicle where, you know, the paint job is excellent, but maybe the interior combination you don't like. Maybe you just want the interior changed or you want the headliner taken down to get rid of the vinyl and let's go with, you know, maybe a tweed that we love doing here at Classic VW Bugs. So another find a bug out of Idaho, now going to Texas. So pretty damn cool. He also wanted the eyelids put on, so we did that as well. Also front disc brake conversion we did on this car. So anything, pretty much in the find a bug program, we can do other than paint. If we're going to paint your vehicle, now you're getting into restoration. And restoration is a timely process. It's costly because when we paint your vehicle, we're not just leaving everything on the vehicle. I am gutting the vehicle down to a bare shell for a show quality piece. And that takes time. It takes money. And it's a wait list, you know, that kind of thing. The find a bug program is perfect for anybody that's on a particular budget. And you want something sooner as opposed to waiting, say, two years for a restoration to be finished. So, yeah guys, two great examples of my find a bug program. If you go to my website, classicvwbugs.com, you'll see the find a bug program there. Contract is there. All the details and my past videos showing and discussing what find a bug really is. And most people fall in this camp. Got any questions? Pop me an email or leave it in the comment section below. Take care guys.
