I dated a girl who’s mom had a ‘47 beetle she brought back with her from Germany. She was still driving it in ‘75.

You have no idea how fast i clicked when i got this notification. An oval bug being saved from the scrapyard is worth a watch 👍👍

VW LO MEJOR INVENTADO CON 4 LLANTAS.

The banter back and forth between these two guys is great. I'm glad they didn't edit it out. Having done similar vehicle rescues, I can relate to the conversations.

Y'all this was an incredible watch. Honestly can't believe how resilient it is for having sat there since '69.

Same here Bro. I'm 75. I remember the day he found an aluminum Crosley 4 cyl eng. Lotta talking and deciding before he had to shell out $5.00. Bless him.

When I was 6 years old, dad rolled a brand new ‘55 VW Beetle unto our driveway, tan, with the oval window and funny blinkers, that were disabled but still installed, and rag top sun roof. I remember fondly many day trips in that car, all the sounds, smells, of that wonderful ride and I wish you the best of luck in restoring this beauty! Please keep us posted on this project. What a find!

I haven't cried this hard since my first child was born! She is so cute!

Great rescue! Poor 1303 's standing beside it, they also deserve a better future...

Headlights intact. Taillights intact. Very nice. Being buried in scrub probably helped preserve a lot of parts that otherwise might have been picked off over the decades.

Amazing! 52 years in the swamp and it does not look too bad.

My first car was a 1957 bug. 36 hp. My dad bought it for me at $200. It was in sad shape. I spent the winter rebuilding the engine and my Dad painted it bright red. It had a rag top sun roof. I drove it to Connecticut one winter from LI. Got caught in a nasty snow storm on rt 95. The bug had terrible heat in extreme cold. Snow was blowing up out of the defrost vents. I sold the car soon after that and bought a brand new 1971 Jeepster commando.
