    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
