The stories the VW Busses have most be interesting lol! One of the first Porsche 914’s I bought back in 00 was from a VW collector/hoarder and he told me back in college they followed the band Phish in a VW Bus with friends all across the country, they’d keep a keg in the center of the van and take turns driving.. now he’s a banker
I hate when this happens, i bet the owner had multiple offers over the years for the majority off them but he turned them down because hes "one day going to fix them" ..
Most of the time there “not” for sale, which means a couple of things. They either want someone to buy the entire lot with cash or they simply can’t sellbecause they may still be owned by others. Or there just plain nuts
It's so sad to see all these vws rusting away in the trees. I have been a vw enthusiast for over 20 years. These cars are getting g harder to find good ones. Good find to bad they wont ever leave there grave site
Tired of seeing all the negative comments of what a waste. Why not commend a person for his passion. This could have been a lifetime of collecting and then time catches up to your body and abilities.
@@Richard-zc1cj VWs weren't always held in high regard Richard: They were cheap utility transportation with a quirky character. When they broke they weren't worth fixing to most folk. It's only relatively recently that their status as a collector's car has become recognised. A few years back I could have picked up a split window bus for peanuts. What are they worth now?
I worked at a VW dealership, mostly sales and management, 1974-1982. It's so sad to see these cars like this although I have no interest in buy or restoring one. I remember the Scirocco so well; we couldn't get enough of those to sell. Makes me wonder why people do this?

That used to be an active VW junkyard/restoration service - I visited there back in the ‘80’s. I used to love just walking around the place and drooling. Owner always seemed more interested in keeping everything for himself rather than selling anything - and I know why!
People watching this video are thinking in terms of current VW values - but these VWs were already beat up rust buckets when acquired for free or scrap metal value. Vintage VWs stored like that in an East Coast woods means that other than a few bits that this collection is really just scrap metal. There are many reasons for current VW values, the most basic is a relatively low survival rate - good thing they made millions of them!
@Hello Newman Far as I know it's still there. "Blanchard Auto Salvage" in Wilton. If I remember right, it was in the far back right, but the place is HUGE. It used to be a walk in but now they're pretty strict about no one going in the yard. Maybe you can work the old lady that runs the place a lil bit :D
Not too much left to save except for some donor metal, bumpers and fiberglass Westy tops. That one blue/white standard bus looked ok up top but I bet the frame rails are gone. Wish I could go in there and load up some semis worth of parts and pull it out West. I'm sure somebody needs that stuff. I visited a similar yard about 15 years ago - owner eventually handed the property over to the highway dept and all got crushed.
This is why I didn't invest in land in the '90's. I saw I had a problem and more space would lead to more VW's. But still. The prices back then were just so cheap!
Most cars of this age were crushed years ago. At least some of these will get a chance to be restored or give up parts. Rusting away isn't such a waste as crushing and melting down for bean tins. It's this guy's stuff he can do what he wants with it!
where is this place would love to explore . im a true vw nut have 70 bug/ sad to see this is just sitting here with many parts to give to other projects.
This place was old customer/parts cars, but remember only a couple years ago most of these VWs really weren’t worth much. Also selling cars without Titles usually take about a 30% hit
@@etmracing ... in some states you don't need a title for anything over 10 years old. (Ct is one of them) Also a good chance that all of the cars were a freebie. IOW, come and get it. (take the eye sore out of my driveway) The flip side of that was many older folks wanted a dollar just to make the sale legal. I bought my first few cars that way.

Get the spilt singlecab & what’s left of the 23 window Samba, maybe the deluxe too. Leave the rest. Check the Porsche to see if it’s the 914-6 cylinder, worth having too.
A friend of mine had 120 VWs hidden in the woods out of view to the public. A county plane flew over his property and gave him 30 days to get rid of all of them. So sad all of the good parts that went to metal recycling.
Fully restored, each of those T1 and T2 busses is worth (potentially) anywhere between $30k usd and $60k usd, dependingon specific model, version, and so on.
ChaosZero ノブ ... Yes, worth money restored, but paying someone to do the work is usually a lost cause. Doing it yourself can be a $3 per hour part time job so no serious money to be made, which is why few people do it.
I've only once in my life seen something like this, and that was in backwoods new brunswick about 20 minutes north of Moncton on hwy 126 New Brunswick there used to be an old garage named lutz garage . I swear I had to look twice in your video to figure out if I had time warped back to the 80's when i used to go there to get rabbit parts. I remember a karmann ghia he had for sale that was the same cream colour as the one in this video.I went back in that area around 2005 and again in 2011 but never since and I didnt have a way of seeing if it was still there.
They sold more of these cars than any car manufacturer in the whole world and nobody yet has even come close to manufacturing and selling as many as they have the VW beetle was literally sold all over the world and they're still millions of them driving around
Where is this ? Has to be in PA somewhere or maybe Jersey...but most of the inspection stickers on the windshields are from PA. I could spend days there with nothing more then water, my bus, and a tool box :)
Breaking my heart...I want to restore all of them!!!
Yeah me too 😢
Mee too !!!!!!!
Not a old Modell with Brezelwindow! Onw T2 blue.
Harald Schussmann Ohhh a split window? Gosh I hope not!!
As me...
I can just imagine all the different characters of people who owned these cars and all the cool festivals they went to

Each one of them has a story to tell. I could happily go camp among them there.

That one with the tiny windows for sightseeing in the mountains. Its called a "Samba Bully" in german speaking countries.
It's so sad to see all these vws rusting away in the trees. I have been a vw enthusiast for over 20 years. These cars are getting g harder to find good ones. Good find to bad they wont ever leave there grave site
Well one day they will!
That would be a fascinating tour in person. Thanks for posting this! It's wild that stuff like this still exists all over the place.
a gold mine
And I feel guilty about my one bug that has been sitting in my garage for 10 years. I could explore that place all day.
So, I'm going to need directions, and a helicopter with a large magnet!
Mountain Top Pa. Happy fishing!
I want to go there I can save every one of them cuz that's my picture of heaven✌
That would be too good to be true!
nice to find this and get all the cars out of here and re build them

Thanks for sharing. Two words..."awesome" and "sad" at the same time.
OMG. VW heaven. All those cars waiting to be rescued!
Exactly! On the bright side, one day they will all hit the market
That dude doesn't have a collection nor hoard. He needs to call the Orkin man for that bug infestation.
Looks more like VW Hell - I wonder what these vws did to deserve such a treatment.

Just makes me sad that someone would just let them rot instead of selling or giving them a chance to be owned by someone else.
My uncle died leaving these behind. He loved them all.
Just good for parts now
@@handyman3320 why did he let them rot away?

Such a shame them rotting away. I am sure some of them could be put back on the road!
Ain't this insane? What point is it in dragging lots of VW cars to the woods and then leave them there to die??? 😬
This jerked a tear...why why??!!??????
Never in my life would I have thought a place like this existed, I'm gobsmacked. Hundreds of buses & I spotted a Carman, just wow.

Feel like I'm trespassing just watching video
Heart breaking, all them really cool cars cut short in life, real shame:(
🥺 Someone please must save them!!! At least those who are not in a «too» bad condition sure can to be restored!

Poor VW cars, hope they’ll be rescued soon, because looking at them makes me wanna cry 😢! ❤💗💜🇵🇭
this is the same place as those guys that did some filming at a few years ago, same story dude doesnt want to sell. That samba :(
I just wanna cry.
Great coverage. Thanks!
I appreciate it, always a pain to please the viewers.. just trying to show hope that cars are still out here!

Dont always look at the money those cars are worth. The saddest thing is, someone is wasting a lot of classic cars by letting them rot in the woods.
Probably not true. Up till about 20 years ago people would sell the VWs for $50 just to get them out of the yard.

Unfortunately not a 914-6, very rare at about 3,000 made.. in all the years of finding cars I’ve only come across one that was sitting.
