Actually, none of these really classic '50's cars are being saved because nobody is crushing them anymore. I think oldest cars that get crushed daily tend to be 25-40 years old. These are the cars that get saved when fixed. 50's cars are pretty safe anyway.
@@evilmessiah81 But someone else will rebuild a true classic, but that '87 Sentra depends on you alone, besides, they can be spray waxed and preserved until they become even more classic and even more worth rebuilding to even more mechanics.
Auto Heitz in Garmisch is still in business! Live in Garmisch currently, funny watching your video and see my local VW dealers listed on the service booklet from 1963. Good luck on the restoration. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
'Austausch Motor' means Switch/Exchange Motor... and though being not overly familiar with vehicle paperwork, based on what I could just read...the motor was replaced (1963) with another motor and they give you the new number which they recommend you get added to your DMV record for the car. This was done in Southern Bavaria (Garmisch-Partenkirchen) - the former owner was US Military? Garmisch has a vacation facility site there for US military personnel and families and likely some sort of military depot/small base/facility in the region.
So, I am watching the video and I could swear I saw Carl Spackler sitting in a Adirondack Chair next to the 56 Oval VW Beetle. He just needed a golf club and a gopher coming out of the VW! But, once II saw the cavernous holes inside the VW I knew it was you Jason (you VW Rescuer you) 😅🤣😂. To get a vision for the car you just gotta stay focused.... hehehehe😁. Thanks for another great one friend. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
I towed our 1970 cabriolet 200 miles, the car was facing backwards on the uhaul. The original trunk VW sign let loose sometime and caught/saved itself between the aerial and the windscreen. It’s back in place and lives another life. So glad you saved the file… Nice car.
I like seeing these videos by a local guy. I pass by your shop a few times a month. Always interesting trying to identify where your travels bring you since I am from your area, also.
I did the same thing with a drink on the bumper of my Chevy Atro van back about 1992 or so. Left the bar, got home. Went outside the next day, walked past the van, and saw that drink on the bumper. It was something red in a glass glass.
1976 was a very excellent year, there garcon. Due to the fact that 1976 was the year I lost a certain something with a certain beautiful,wonderful,awesome girl,at the ripe old ancient age of..12.5....Literally at the 4th of July fireworks show in Pensacola Fl,and again later at Pensacola beaches Ft. PICKENS where all of our folks had the rvs,and campers,and kids tents set up for that long weekend and the following 2 weeks of summer vacation on the beach... Most wonderful premium memories of my pre teen life right there !! 😂 Is there any mention of these awesome events in that newspaper J?😅
I remember that reserve lever. I had to use it one night with Cynthia . She was a looker. The birds love you. 1962 with Cynthia. Her brother drove a 1960 Jag e type. Go get another one.
The first page of the paperwork in German is a guarantee for an exchange motor (6 mo. or 10000 km). The second page is the certification from the garage that the motor #1495362 was replaced by the motor #1464723 which one has to show to the equivalent of the DMV. I would assume then that since the number of the replacement motor is less than that of the original motor, the replacement motor was a rebuilt one.
It was way off the highway too, in a little clearing ...unreal, if I didn't see it with my own eyes I would of never believed it. A State Trooper pulled over and asked me what we were looking for..." You looking for a gun " he asked. "No " i chuckled " my GF unlocked a t-top oon the highway and she is looking for it" ...we both had a laugh :)....
I've replaced the entire bottom 1/4 on my 72 and in retrospect, it was kinda fun, no real headscratch fitment issues. but lotsa bracing! Good luck and subscribed!
Crazy story about that Beetle. I like your channel. By the way, you have the papers of an "Austauschmotor" wich means that the engine was replaced by a new one in 1963. Strange that it only lasted 7 years, I thought the Beetle engines were somewhat undestroyable. Greetings from Germany, Andreas
When I found cars like this the first stop was a self serve car wash. I would spend hours and money cleaning out my barn finds. The worst was a 62 Porsche 356 that had almost rusted into the ground.
Another great video Jason. Hopefully someone who's good with a mig welder and grinder get their hands on that 56 to replace the rusty metal. I had to replace all those panels on my 69' vert during it's pan off restoration. Salty roads do amazing things to cars. Lots of cutting, grinding and a few rolls of mig wire. I think I'm still blowing grinding dust out of my nose years later! :) Keep up the good work on your channel.
This time Jason fires up the leaf blower supreme. It's by his own account, that Jerry Garcia improvised his music all the time. When Jason cleans out a VW, it's like when Jerry Garcia was improvising on his guitar. It's fresh, unique, and entertaining as all get out.
All Beetles need saving! Heh, as far as I'm concerned, that "patina" look is always a winner, on someone else's car. Given the resources, and climate, (UK? Not.) I'd get it sand blasted back to metal, repair panels and paint it that original mid red that I had on a couple of mid 60's Beetles 30+ years back. Can't rem the colour's name.
Hi Jason....At first when the trunk lid was opened I thought it was going to be the pinecone vidio Lol...Well it's summer you could leave the floors open would be like A/C...😅 Great Vidio Jason!👍
@@bugnut82 It depends on the transmission, the early 36HP's had a different fan, it moved far more air and often whistled . In 1958 (? IIRC) VW made a running change to quiet it down a bit .

I wonder if the dash color is because the P.O. smoked ? . My '59's dashboard has -so- much tobacco tar on it I can't figure out the original color .

Oh damn I would love to get my hands on that. Would make a great restoration! You got some great paperwork for that! Wow!!! It made it without falling off!!! 😳😳😳 That was a strong T top 😂
@5150mxVW this what I found: replacement engine(austaschmotor) refers to a used engine in which worn or defective parts have been replaced with new or overhauled ones, so that a functional unit is created in the end They make the distinction with a used engine in that a used engine that has not been checked for worn/broken parts I don't know if it is by definition a different engine from the original one that came with the car.
I think this is the video where you find the title. That really floored me, I know exactly there that street is located in University City, STL suburb. I'm guessing he might have gone to either Wash U or SLU.
I see 2 options. One is combine it with a desert car, which usually has good floors but bad seats and engine. The other is to weld the floors etc. functional but ugly, as long as the seats go back in the right place and everything is strong enough, that is good enough. Just weld in the sides of a bunch of old appliances cut and shaped to fit for 20 minutes or so. Interior welding need not be pretty, just strong a weather resistant. Maybe you should get in touch with a cross country car hauler who can either ship your cars to the desert, ship desert cars to you, or both, since all your cars seem to need the same parts, in order to get those parts, like floors, you need cars from a different climate. You could travel if your car hauler is fuel efficient, but efficient long distance hauls are usually at least 2 or 3 cars at once.
That car with the rust repaired and in drive-able condition would look sweet with the patina left on it, some black wheels with the stock caps and stuff and some wide white wall tires. Maybe a slight drop in the suspension but not overly low.
A fuel powered steam cleaner will be a best tool for any restoration, or patina type cleaning.. Steam,and heat,along with water pressure will do what lots of elbow grease,a ton of effort,and a pressure washer wont. .
Love your videos although I’m sure you may have heard this from others. I’m 63 yrs old and I can definitely tell you to take better precautions with your lungs. You only have one set and they have to go the distance. Wear some sort of mask. Enjoy
You've done a good job of demouseifing it. If Mustie gives you grief about this car ask him hows the orange econovan is going as progress has ground to a halt on it as i keep seeing it in the background of all his vids. LOL
I lost (actually my 1st wife lost) a t-top off of my 1985 Trans Am because she put them on but didnt lock them. Many many small pieces of glass. $900 to replace back in 1995, no bueno.
Hmm...hoped ishe was Better ..but it is what it is...imagine just how it was back then with that color combo...Polar silver and red inside...jummyyy❤❤...Nice Job J ...and thank God for spoilers
Yes always hoping for the best but in the end it’s not terrible , the dash is intact and the car is complete . I’ve been peeling away the respray or whatever is on it to get to the OG polar silver . It’s getting a sweet look to it :). The car is straight though and it will get fixed . 💪👍
@@5150mxVW lovely car ..i enyoy my 58 Daly driver ..this video was on the early days trail. Funny and relxing...keep em comming J...regards from Croatia ..
😱 Uuuuh, I definitely know that! I'm good in leaving my purse and/or wallet with all documents in it on the roof of my car before driving away. Over the years it happened 3 times that everything flew off and I always got everything back because of decent human beings. I must've an enormous big guardian angel. At least I'm always good as a bad example! 😁 ;-) 🙈
I found a Cell phone at the bottom of a highway exit. Turns out it belonged to the guy in charge of all the West Coast Guitar Center stores. They came all the way from San Francisco ....about 30 or 40 miles and with that phone on the roof of their SUV. It had an if found message on the screen....
Well, that's one place to store your leaves, I guess! Maybe that big hole had the tree thru it! Another beauty Jason! They are all worth saving man. On another note, where were your seats in that new halen concert?
The Engine was replaced (Austausch-Motor = replacement engine) by the dealership "Auto Heitz" in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. They still exist today. Look them up! KD-Nr. IMHO means Kundennummer = costumer number the replacement was done April 17(?)th of 1963 at 95148km. Old engine number was 1464723 new engine number is 1495362. Both 1200cc and 30PS At Volkswagen Classic Parts in Germany you can order a certificate and datasheet for that vehicle for "just" 129,95€… this should at least clarify which color it came from the factory
If I had as many nice old VWs around as him, I would definitely just flip this one! Time better spent on cars in better condition and let someone with less projects and plenty of passion and cash take this one on. Definitely worth doing but, at some point, you got to chose your battles!
I put my wallet on the trunk while putting my sisters child in the baby seat, getting in the car at the front, I remembered I looked thinking it was on the inside rear parcel shelf. In reality it was outside the car for 5 miles.....lol
yeah, i ended masking up to really get in and finish the job but i should have from the get go...I always feel like poo for 2 days after these cleanouts
Just watch the clean out with the leaf blower makes one wheeze. I really should be wearing a filter mask😳. She is a beauty though!! Giveherabathe and clean herup!

I agree with the previous comment by Larry, 'austausch means 'exchange'. So a factory replacement motor.
I so much want to see it finished as I had one in 1973 a great little bugger it was😂😂
