For those curious this is a shot of Herbie #2 (not the movie, that classification of the vehicle used in this specific scene)from walt Disneys Classic The Love Bug, made in 1969 starring Dean Jones, Michell Lee. Buddy Hacket, and David Thomlenson.
This car was specially built by a shop Run by EMPI in the 60's (when they were still a reputable US manufacture) It has custom wide 15x6 wheels made from the stock steel VW centers with Firestone tires. The engine is a 1600s, presumably from either a Porsche 356 or 912. Its equiped with finned aluminum wide 5 Porsche brakes from a 356 as well. The suspension was upgraded with aftermarket traction bars and heavy duty racing shocks. This car is usually definable by the "rounded" gusset on the roll bar just to the right of the drivers head. Where as the other bugs built for the movie did not have the same gusset. it was restored to its former glory in the early 2000's after it was found many years later by Greg Carr. This car still exsists today in England now owned by a private owner who runs a Volkswagen shop. It can be seen pretty regularly at many classic VW events around the area. Sorry to be so long winded! I get a little carried away when I'm talking about Herbie :D |
