    My gosh that house is absolutely majestic. Must be early 1900's. Some rich guy's home.
    Generations of people come and go through the decades. Guys like you help the air-cooled VWs go on forever.

    "And you may find yourself a blue Beetle to bring home. And you may find yourself in the bowels of an ancient barn. And you may find yourself chiseling into the frozen earth. And you may ask yourself, 'Well, how did I get here?!?!'"
    Jason, et al. thanks for the videos on this. I can't imagine the number of combined hours spent on unearthing that prize. Hopefully the other two Bugs at least provided some usable parts, too. Have a great weekend!

    Oh man, cobalt blue w white interior! My 1st 'vert was a '69 that had been abandoned in a field that color combo- after the wrangling to get it titled properly I did it back up in factory threads, down to the grey vinyl top. Lots of work but labor of love at 23 years old... and now at 52 I just brought home a project '78 and couldn't be happier ☀️🤠
    Thanks for the fun channel and hard work getting these cars out of the woodwork (quite literally this time!!!)
