I'm jealous! Made one good one out of a 1960 and a '62. Both buried to the axles when found. Drove it for years, then sold it for double what I had invested.
Personally I've never been into the supers. Not into the strut front ends or the shift servo stuff. But awesome find. That's like finding a gold mine. Digging the red one. Love the wide 5 setup. Good find! If you start to sell Birdie, let me know.
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs Better not push the envelope lol . I looked at it yesterday on my home, lots of parts and lots of work for someone willing to take on this project. Anyway , I think a auto transmission in a Bug would be cool , always wanted one myself .
Congratulations! I always loved the simplicity and yet the evolution over the years of the air cooled VW. My folks had a couple of them when they first got married.
That looks like VW heaven! I love the red one, and would love to do the clutch on that one :) The Baja idea is a good one. My dad had a '57 Baja when I was growing up. We did a bunch to it, with racing seats, larger tires/mags, fresh paint, different steering wheel, etc. That was a daily driver for a long time, and good and loud, of course :) You found the treasure trove, for sure. Good job!
Holy guacamole! You hit the lottery...the Beetle lottery. 😊
I know, I think Jenn will be happy when I finish all these projects up--- Then I will have to find more to do
I love VW Bugs. This video was awesome. That place looks fun with all those bugs and parts.
I am excited for all the future projects
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairsI am too.
Great find for sure!! You'll be busy for a while....😋
You got that right!

That is a good return on your investment.

Fair enough!
Great buy! No doubt, gotta do a Baja bug. I’d love to have one. Congratulations.
That is the plan, I have to finish a few project first- My wife tends to get mad when I have 100 projects in one form or another
I found a "Bug" literally just over the hill from my house , very tempting . you should check you text !
My wife mumbled something about a divorce if I brought home more-

@gregbarnett3141- my parents had one as well at that age. They are some fun cars that bring lots of memories
I want to make a Baja at somepoint, this might be the time
The Beetle’s were great in snow! But the heater wasn’t the best in em.
What heat- I am amazed that the heat on them is so bad considering they were made in Germany
@@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs LOL!
Great compared to an MG of the same era.
