Crusty in a corner, not! 11 years ago I had an old ranger that was the same way, kept going even after being beat down 14 other owners for the first 15 years of it’s life. I got it rebuilt the engine &trans, then ran it for 8 years at 120,k / year family came and it went, boy do I mis that truck!
haha, yeah , I wasn't expecting that . Hopefully this Beetle will be back on the pavement this week . Thank you E-man , I hope to see an update vid soon from u
Every time I watch one of your videos and Mustie1’s videos, it really makes me miss my days of owning a air cooled Volkswagen. Those were the days and I need a VW bug again!
You should get one Danny , I got the " bug " again in 2014 and I bought the black 67 ' Bug . Thank you for droppin' in and let me know when your a proud owner :)
That depends on the def of stock, all vw and correct year and model parts, or high class vw... Porsche, and a little “tweaking”! Got to love Musty1, he will find a way to make things fun!
For future reference the third digit in that style VW VIN is the model year. That started in '65 or '66 and prior to the numbering change VW VINs were sequential and the model year was determined by which range of numbers your specimen fell into. The rusted out mess in the wheel well is the charcoal canister for the evaporative emissions system that started in '71. The Pine Cone Beetle had to be either a '71 or '72. It has the vents behind the quarter windows and the tail lights aren't round. Vents appeared in '71 and the tail lights changed to the round ones in '73....
The wood stove is your auxiliary heat! Should come in handy up in NE in the winter. I remember my father driving in 3rd gear in his 66 Bug until it warmed up in around 3 miles driving up to 40 mph!
Great beetle find!! Unfortunately all the moisture and rust you get back there is killing alot of vw's and cool cars back there! Very sad people just let stuff sit for years and let it rust and go to waste.
Oh man I was hoping you had come out there with fluids extra coil plugs and wires etc and were going to see if you could drive her out. LOL. Well at least drive her onto a tow truck or something. LOL. That bug is very cool! Just because shes so junked and old but I'll bet she'll run! Thanks for the content!
Yikes! That thing is rough 5150mxVW! Too bad the charcoal canister behind the rear fender is so rusty, otherwise I think it would have started right up.
Hey, that old Poly Pad center console has to be worth at least $2 (including the dirt!) Seriously, I'll be interested to see how bad this thing is when you dig it out!
Crunching leaves in the beginning on the clip fresh air. Great way to start my weekend watching this. Just know I'd spin wrenches with you too but mustie1s a better fit
your kidding ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I don't care if I'm on the film staff which I'd rather just to see the classic air-cooled rides in your fleet . Possibly make a offer. Speechless..... wow I'm HONORED
I've wanted a Beetle since I was a kid in the early 80s. Unfortunately I've never had the money to own one. I really hope before my time is up, I get to one a couple along with a Fastback, Squareback, Rabbit and Dasher. I wish I could get a running, driving pre 1968 Beetle for free. I'm not that lucky.
@@5150mxVW Maybe one day, I hope. The ones where I live are ridiculously expensive if they are in good condition and they are really cheap, they're in bad condition, have no engine or trans, don't run and will take an insane amount of money to fix. I don't have the money either way.
@@ironicchannelname6457 Not an option. I don't have the money or a place to keep a non running car. That's why I want one that runs and drives. I don't know how to work on cars and also don't want a money pit. I don't have the physical ability or patience to work on cars either. It takes thousand of dollars to get a car in good running condition. Parts are very expensive too, especially when the body is in bad shape. The floor pans are usually rotted out and engines are not easy to find and are very expensive as well, especially to get it running right. And a Beelte engine usually needs a lot of work if you can find one. If I wanted a junk car to fix and had the money, I'd have done it long ago. I can barely afford to fix the vehicle I have now and I have to pay someone to work on it.
You have a lot more Bugs around your area than I do. I wish you luck getting Snow White out of the dirt. I think you could easily sell that old Ford radiator, scrape the 2 wood stoves, and pay for lunch.
Did you not know that the heater was not the heater ! It was the wood stove OPTION in 1972!!!!! In those years VW had the year of the car on the tail lites. May years VW used a tail lite for only one year, so it is usually a good indicator of the year. That car has 72 only seats charcoal canister was a first year in 72.
@@5150mxVWHere in Wisconsin every Bug owner used to wear Snowmobile Suits to keep warm and propane torches to keep the windshields defrosted. My VW/s will NEVER see winter again....
5150 several years ago I work for junkyard picking up cars out of peoples yards I went and grab the 59 Ford something or other was buried like that........ I picked up the rear end with the wheel lift and then put the car up pile of rims underneath it... Then pulled car up on the flat bed. With the winch......you can get some plywood 3/4 inch. Put it over the holes then pull the car back you should be all set... With the winch on the truck chain the truck to tree.. Or you may break the parking band in the truck....all so when using a cable under pressure alway lad blanket or some over the cable just n case it let’s go the cable could cut your head off and you don’t wanna do that......... just be careful your brake lines on the rear end be really good if you had a Jayhawk like the tow if you could just lay around the rear end and then put a chain and put it in the tree I’ve been around son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(((((((seen a few things))))))) Or you could ask Oscar the grouch and his friends to help you pick up the car and push it over the holes that’s Second option take care JUNKMANDO ps with age comes wisdom and knowledge
5150mxVW yeah yeah, I heard ya on the video.... don’t even think you’re close to being Mustie 🤪😂 Get r done man, we’ll be here waiting for the next pine cone update.
Thank you , what is different about the bonnet ? I was looking at the " newer " wheel as well . It is now sitting in my driveway on the trailer . Thank you for the comment JV
Where did you find this Beetle at? Believe it or not my dad abandoned a 72 Beetle back in the early 80s. He said the engine started having issues and it wouldn't run anymore so he had to park it. Then he got a truck driving job and kinda just forgot about the old girl and bought a new car. Now nearly 40 years later, he told me he regrets just abandoned it and he wishes he would have fixed it years ago. We was just talkin about this not too long ago! Wow
That hole is Oscars basement with perfect climate control,,the vw was his trash dump & lew . Oscar is living off grid - no taxes no utilities or insurance! F the system! :D)

The previous owner must have liked to keep himself really, really warm, using a 12 v. heater and two wood-burning (pinecone-burning?) stoves in his Bug.
it is either a 1968 or 1969 , 1970-1972 used an amber turn lens at the top of the tail light in 1973 they went a round plastic lens without a metal bezel .
Dear 5150mxVW. What the heck? Really? The pine cone bug? And I thought you have enough projects. The content of the yellow van looks very promising! The ole Ford radiator looks nice too. Maybe Johnathan W. (great guy with great channel) can use it!? The design of the additional heater (by the glove box) looks a bit as if it had been stolen from Darth Vader! :-) ;-) 2) Those aren't wood stoves, this type is called cast iron stove! Wood stoves are much lighter and light much faster (unfortunately they can be used only one time). :-) ;-) 3) By the way: Did you really expect that the bug lights would work? Maybe the (cigarette) lighter would have!? Obviously the car is much lighter because of heavy rotting (back to the roots). Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health. Postscriptum: Maybe you and Josh will like this!? Usually I would have sent it via email but unfortunately I don't know your address. ruclips.net/video/KovgYwMWhcw/видео.html My comment on Utube: Wonderful, beautiful simply fantastic! This car, the role model for the Karmann Ghia type 34, is perfect. Extremely impressive craftsmanship. Never ever in my whole life I have seen such a clean workshop. Nearly unbeliiiievable. I bet this enthusiast has a decontamination airlock! :-) ;-) Great background story too! Very well done by the filming crew also. Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
Hi . CC , yes i did expect the lights to work haha . Thank you for the link , I will check it out . Josh and I were doing some clearing and digging at the Bug scene today . Best regards , luck and health to you as well CC .
Hi@@5150mxVW thanks for replying. If not usable any more those "wood stoves" are always good for decoration (inside/outside the house, painted black or raw in the garden). At least for my kind of taste respectively in my opinion. 2) I'm curiously looking forward to see Josh and you digging out this ole rust bucket (maybe some dogs could help digging = they will smell the unknown animal and become eager to dig it out.). By the way: It was the perfect shelter for that animal living underneath the bug. It will definitely be pissed off when the roof of it's home respectively the complete pantry is gone. :-) ;-) 3) Wouldn't that cart Mustie1 is working at be perfect for your son? Maybe with a modified body in VW style? But it's also possible that VWnut and Mustie1 will have so much fun driving it that the cart will become a keeper!? Time will tell. Sincerely yours. Postscriptum: Is there any possibility to get your respectively one of your email addresses? I only have the email address from VWnut and I like to send you some pictures you might be interested in. Thanks in advance.

I have the same ford van 1969-74 :)
👍, better shape i hope :)
calling the 7 dwarfs with shovels and a wench!!!
haha ! i put the winch on it yesterday ...move it 3 feet ...
Dear 5150mxVW.
What the heck? Really? The pine cone bug? And I thought you have enough projects. The content of the yellow van looks very promising! The ole Ford radiator looks nice too. Maybe Johnathan W. (great guy with great channel) can use it!? The design of the additional heater (by the glove box) looks a bit as if it had been stolen from Darth Vader! :-) ;-)
2) Those aren't wood stoves, this type is called cast iron stove! Wood stoves are much lighter and light much faster (unfortunately they can be used only one time). :-) ;-)
3) By the way: Did you really expect that the bug lights would work? Maybe the (cigarette) lighter would have!? Obviously the car is much lighter because of heavy rotting (back to the roots).
Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
Postscriptum: Maybe you and Josh will like this!? Usually I would have sent it via email but unfortunately I don't know your address.

My comment on Utube:
Wonderful, beautiful simply fantastic!
This car, the role model for the Karmann Ghia type 34, is perfect.
Extremely impressive craftsmanship. Never ever in my whole life I have seen such a clean workshop. Nearly unbeliiiievable. I bet this enthusiast has a decontamination airlock! :-) ;-)
Great background story too!
Very well done by the filming crew also.
Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
Hi . CC , yes i did expect the lights to work haha . Thank you for the link , I will check it out . Josh and I were doing some clearing and digging at the Bug scene today . Best regards , luck and health to you as well CC .
Hi@@5150mxVW
thanks for replying.
If not usable any more those "wood stoves" are always good for decoration (inside/outside the house, painted black or raw in the garden). At least for my kind of taste respectively in my opinion.
2) I'm curiously looking forward to see Josh and you digging out this ole rust bucket (maybe some dogs could help digging = they will smell the unknown animal and become eager to dig it out.). By the way: It was the perfect shelter for that animal living underneath the bug. It will definitely be pissed off when the roof of it's home respectively the complete pantry is gone. :-) ;-)
3) Wouldn't that cart Mustie1 is working at be perfect for your son? Maybe with a modified body in VW style? But it's also possible that VWnut and Mustie1 will have so much fun driving it that the cart will become a keeper!? Time will tell.
Sincerely yours.
Postscriptum: Is there any possibility to get your respectively one of your email addresses? I only have the email address from VWnut and I like to send you some pictures you might be interested in. Thanks in advance.
