I was 16 yrs old back in 95 mowing lawns, when one of the houses I was mowing was preparing to junk a 70 bug. The lady told me the wrecker was giving her $200 to haul it away. I told her I would mow her lawn for the rest of the season for free if she gave it to me. She agreed so I through what gas I had left in my gas can for the lawn mower, spent 15 minutes tinkering and she fired up. After I got home I told my dad and we went back to drive it home. I miss that bug. No heat and no a/c, but those seats were infamous for robbing my friends of the change in their pockets which came in handy when I needed 85 cents to get home and it didn't matter where I was hahaha. I never did clock the mpg on her but it never mattered anyway.
I had a summer job with a farmer. He gave me his VW Beattie to drive backs d forth to work. I drove that thing like a race car and stick shift all the way. Great little car and very fast pick up
My 66 got 22 mpg about the same MPG as my 5.7L Hemi Challenger when I drive it in eco mode. Back in the early 70s I remember a early 70's gas war with 22 cents a gallon gas and did a fill up from an almost empty tank for $2.

Morning gents. As much as we all hate under coating. I think we have to call this one a win for protecting the underbody of this car. I thought you were crazy for pulling that out of the weeds until you got into it and saw that it was surprisingly repairable.
hello mustie, long time viewer from norway here. Remember when you did crusty way back. looked like an impossible task. you proved everyone wrong that everything is fixable, and made to look awesome doing it. you opened my eyes for sure. currently restoring a 69 volvo amazon, also called volvo 121. thanks to you my motivation have kept on going. i may not be a active commentor in your video's but i sure watch them all. Have a great one! -Chris
My wife walked in and looked over my shoulder and said.... "Is that the 'Swamp Thing' you were telling me about?" I am loving your videos, even the autopsy episodes. Viewing in Australia...
Hey Mustie, prayers to you and your family. I always enjoy watching your videos Brother. God bless America and all our UA-camr family. Love Uncle Jeff!
I love these old bugs!!! I love the design of the engine, it is absolute genius the way they built them, without the need for water for cooling, extremely reliable and perfect for desert weather. I miss my '72 Super Beetle, I wish I had taken the money and the car instead of having it totaled. It sold at the auction for $1,300, it had side damage but I had put new tires, new front struts, oil pump and filter (aftermarket) and I was in the process of finding a way to fix the fuel gauge. I loved working on it, I loved driving it, I loved everything about my bug and now I wish I had another one and the time to fix it!!!
You know when you watch these videos of old guys who have amassed this incredible collection of stuff and you wonder how in the hell did this guy end up with all of this?? Here you are seeing how that happens in real time.
As always entertaining and educational. I am in Australia and I work in the Mental Health sector. After a day of dealing with and helping others I watch Mustie to relieve stress. Nice work mate and thanks!! Keep em coming!
Hey, Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I gave up my VW bug about the same time after it being mine for about 25 years. Had to let it go because the body was rotten and a hazard to proper steering. My co-worker ended up with it and came back later and gave me $100 for it. Said that the body was rotten, but the motor and transmission were the best used components he had ever purchased. Well, I did have engine re-built 3 times and replaced the transmission. Lasted me for 300 000 miles.
What a super find Mustie! I love your enthusiasm. I too see the car from the rust. Well worth some effort. & look forward to seeing it in later (or better sooner) episodes. 🤙🤙🤙
What surprises me is that the headlights and lights are in very good condition and are complete, which is the hardest thing to find, that car deserves to be restored.
I always remember, when I see something like this: That car used to be brand new. Once upon a time, someone drove it off a dealer's lot for the first time. Who? Where did he go in it? There's a lot of history there. I'd love to see it running again.
I have sold cars for many years .. and I remember selling one of the last old Mini to an old lady . It was in 1997. When I was in the area again last year I thought : Let's drive through the street where she used to live : and there it was , 25 years later , in the same spot as it used to be . You feel so strange at that moment , it's the same like seeing someone back after 25 years . And I really understand Joe .. the first owner , the conversations held in , the last drive before stalling it in the forest .. what a stories this car could tell ! Love it .
…keep a very close eye on the budget then it can be rewarding. Mustie1 knows it ain’t worth much but will be cool once the day glow yellow has departed

Glad to watch not to interested in owning a VW today but in years past that was my car of choice. Also I had a tow bar for under the front axle to drag it home when it broke and needed repair, all of my fellow VW owners borrowed it a bunch of times, Happy Days!
This is an absolute labor of love, and I hope it gets restored. I am wildly curious if it is possible. I believe at several points of this video, my allergies responded with histamines from just seeing and imagining all that dust, dander and urine / feces. I cannot wait to see more.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and like the beetle restos the best. I am looking forward to follow up sessions for this car. I reckon it would be entertaining to just go with you shopping groceries. Keep up the good work. Excellent viewing.
This one should be easy. All the patches are straight forward and no brainers. Then just slap the included engine in it, and send it down the road. Easy peasy.
I watched this video on June 18 on my Smarty TV from start to finish just to watch a guy look thru jars of junkie nuts, bolts, and pencils. That VW is in better shape than it looked there in the mud, the blood, and the weeds. No matter how badly I needed a key I'd never looked bare handed thru that pee soaked glove box! I can't say I learned anything. But it sure was fun watchin!
This VW was like a time capsule and what also is interesting is that when I viewed this video there were over 260 Thousand views... It's amazing the VW had all the glass to it, not broken also... That sure was a plus! Hope we get to see some of the repairs or reconstruction of this Beetle... It's so cool that you would take the time to restore this Bug after all these years of it just sitting and rotting away... Also hope to see the finished product for sure...! Love your channel....!

Compared to some of the lawn tractors, snow blowers, generators and pressure washers he got from the side of the road, this Beetle is in pretty decent condition.
Congratulations, you are a brave person. I see a lot of work ahead, but with persistence it will be good. I'm restoring a 73 at home and I know it's not easy. I will follow the entire process.

After so many mowers and snowblowers I'd forgotten what old beetles smelled like. I've been holding my breath for over 30 minutes!
Finding these beetles growing in the wild is extremely rare. Nice to catch a humane harvest on film
I deliver to a place that loves VW as much as you do. They have six Beetles, two Karmann Ghias and a Thing.

Congratulations on the find. I wish the 58 gets a new lease of life and runs again. All the best.
I can’t believe the car did not pull in half!
The roof and centre chassis tube must still be sound
I knew it was in better shape than it looked when it didn't fail coming out of the dirt.

One of these days, Mustie is going to find an old, rusty VW emblem in the woods, and we aren't going to be surprised when he "gets it going"...
just grab a few spare parts from his "stash"
He'll just hit it with the wire wheel and it'll be good as new.
Beautiful, my 74 bug is the exact same color with patina. I just clear coated it & came out beautiful...
What kind of person dislikes this video? UA-cam is crazy. Mustie1, you are the man. Best content/commentary going for my money.
People who are competing with Mustie's channel, or are self-hating trolls, like some of the idiots making dumb comments here.
