      I like seeing you guys breathe new life into these cars that most people just strip down for their parts, or worse yet, send to the scrap yard. Many of them were still being driven before being parked. With some additional "love," these cars can be put back on the road again. As a side note, in the mid 1970s, my neighbors were a newly married couple who bought a new wagon like this, light blue. I always these little V-dubs! Great job and videos. Please keep them coming.

    I love this video! I had a 73 Square Back in that same Saturn Yellow with black interior. I bought it in 1984 in San Jose, CA, with about 170K miles, for $1,200. I drove that thing from Salt Lake City to San Jose and back at least ten times. By 1993, it had nearly 300,000 miles on it when it finally gave up the ghost. Second best car I ever owned, next to my 1997 Toyota Camry - 340K miles and still going.

    I had one of those in Germany in 75..it was a great car...it had a winter heater where you could set a clock and a petrol heater would come on and warm out the car..never had to de ice it of remove the snow from it...straight out of my house start up and off to work whilst everyone else was scraping the ice off...👍👍

    Very nice job with the detailing, and a good find of this quite rare car. I loved the interior shots, they brought back a flood of memories from when I was a wee lad. I stil have the bonnet badge from my dad's beige VW station wagon. It was a great winter car in northern Norway; great traction with the engine over the rear wheels. Sadly it just rusted to pieces from salt and snow, which I think is an important reason there's so few left today. I hope yours finds a good home!
