My first bug was a 1961, I was 16 years old. Miss that old girl, tons of memories.

Locked away for 20 years! So happy she sees light again.

VW Life, What a great way to wind down my 16th birthday. Great job Matt Jackson!

Great drone work!! Wow!! I also love the detail in filming by having lights inside the bus and the bug while towing..I just subscribed. I miss being a part of the community. I was in my 40s when I purchased my first VW, a 71 microbus from Illinois, named her Hildegarde. Drove it for 2 years and then couldn't afford to rebuild the engine. My first VW was a 76 Super Beetle convertible in high school. early 80's. The driver's side floorboard was rusted out but didn't care. Loved it.

Good that it was in storage; they could’ve at least put an indoor cover on. Spot on on the lower hp engines. They are slow but they’ll last forever. By the looks of the fan housing it might’ve had a minor engine fire.

I haven't seen a late 70s end of the run Beetle mentioned in quite a while. It seems like everybody has '60s bugs. Where did the mid '70s bugs go? Sound off if you have a '78 convertible or a '77 full Beetle. Surely some have survived.
