That's a good find all day long at that price tag. Not sure how it is up north, but here in Virginia, they are a real Pain trying to get titles for cars that left abandoned or sold without one. Just picked up a '72 standard beetle that needs pans and channels but everything else is there and not a tear in the headliner. Now waiting for the state to give me a title for it. Auction purchase without a title but way to good to part out and it even has a body tag, key and had it running in 30 mins after sitting for 11 years. Can't wait to see some progress on the '62. Thanks for sharing
Jason, most do “will it run” videos, but you got the “will it push video”. Ahhhh, success😁! You da one Brother. Have a great week and breathe deep…when you are done with the raccoon poop 🤗 Keep safe and thank you for your hard work ! John here, from the backroads of Northeastern Tennessee.
I really enjoy your videos. I've never had a VW Bug or VW, but find them fascinating. I recognize Glastonbury I think, my older brother used to live on Heather Glen Road for a long time, beautiful , historic town. I am amazed what you have to do sometimes to clean out these cars you find. Your son Josh is a good helper, and a good boy. Thanks for all the videos you share!
I think you might pull that body and put new floor pans on what's left of the frame Jason. That original turqouise is so gorgeous. Thanks for making my afternoon great!
Much love to you for keeping the Vee Dub alive and keeping it real. I love your channel because it is not full of RU-vid flash. Just great Vee Dubs to bring back. I am still campaigning you and Mustie1 to do a restoration together. You guys are my motor heroes.
Congratulations on your find...a diamond in the rough! What a great little treasure hunt among all that stuff in the back! I'm excited to see how this project progresses! Best wishes for your continued success.
Great job, looks like a ton more work than what is obvious. The payoff was the forensic investigation of the property that it came from, and then the interior. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great save! I unfortunately have been out of the aircooled VW game since the mid 90's, so naturally there is a lot of sticker shock I experience. With any older car! In 1991, I sold a '70 sedan with perfect floor pans, aftermarket fake button tuck door panels, one piece windows (hated them!) that needed paint, and some front and rear apron repair for $600. Drove it daily, 1600 dual port that had a weber progressive that was dialed in good and a header. Man I was an idiot! But needed the money for the down payment on a small pickup more practical for a small side business at the time.
Another great vid!!! Love these archaeological videos! What a beautiful Bug color. I want that bug!😂 Never had one, but man, I didn’t even know that color existed. I’d say you’ll come out on top with this one. Lol
I bought a 62' 7 years ago for a grand - now they are going for 3 - 4 thousand in bad shape of course these are California prices - enjoy the clean up - beautiful find
Looks like a decent deal. Not many early bugs for sale at that price in Quebec. I hope to start working on my '55 semaphore bug next Spring. I'll have to empty out the garage and build some shelving and workbenches first though. It was a solid Montana car I bought for $3400 CDN over 20 yrs ago. It only needs rear bumper mount and apron work.
Love those road shots, reminds me of what New England used to look like when I grew up in Kingston and riding in the car through West Plymouth to my dads property un Carver. My one trip to Connecticut we had to take a lot of back roads to get to a wedding in 1995.
Quite a nice 62 after all the junk & parts been cleaned out from inside.. Quite a few bikes knocking around that property Jason, Might been some early Bmx'es hidden still.. And thanks for showing me what the Adirondacks looks like too.. Looks awesome place :)
thank you, I am starting to think this car might have 65k org miles and maybe the org engine blew due to lack of valve adjustment. It also could be a Canadian import and the engine #'s could be different.
When I saw you digging into the weeds I thought why don’t he get a big magnet so he won’t miss anything. Bet you mustie1 would have loved those bicycles. God bless
Really nice beetle, it's like going on a treasure hunt, you just do not know what you'll find. I see your point about the dash, I really like the combination of the blue with the white steering wheel. Best era for these cares in my opinion, love this one!
Hey Jason.....If your happy all that matters buddy. I think you good with the car. Should clean up.nice. Can't wait to see the motor start up. Nice ride up and back Jason...Great Vidio!!!
That original roof rack looks awesome give it some TLC the rest of the stuff that's awesome we got that too it's all worth too Grand no problem take care buddy
When you do what you love for a living, you will never work another day ! I envy you man .. .. .. .. In my next life all I want is your optimism and I will be a winner .. .. ha ha ha ha ha !! Sure that this one is going to keep you busy for a while. Enjoy !!
As long as you have a vision Jason that's good. If you bulk buy some floor pans then they will keep you going for a while and be cheaper 😉. Look I know you are dedicated so just put the yellow brick road down to part of the experience of buying another VW. Good luck with this one at least it rolls now. Thanks Jason for taking us along. 👍👍
yea worth it for all those extra parts. the turquoise and white interior combo would look so good. what do u tend to do with the seats? they always seem pretty busted up. reupholster them, leave them, swap em out? thanks for the content my dude have a good week
Was it worth it financially? Maybe not. Was it worth it overall, Yep. Nice save. She's far from perfect, but she is a perfect project worth saving. That roof rack is interesting. Late model style with the all steel construction, but early style clamps. Might be original to that car, or at least very correct for the year.
I forcast (with the benefit of seeing your wife proudly driving this in the future video) that this is going to be one of your better deals ... but if you could have only gotten there before those other 12 ...🤣🤐
