Hard to believe but this car has zero cancer. Clips are both very straight but there is some damage to the roof from bullet holes. |
Awesome!!! I would love to hear the story on how you found it. I hope you got a killer deal on it as well. It appears that the dirt surrounding the car worked like a preservative of sorts. Very cool find and great pics. Are you planning a body off pan full restore? |
Our Friend Jason was the one who found it. Actually his wife Lea and her Mom were out riding horses and spotted it on some property south of Idaho Falls. The property owner didn't even know it was there and told Jason he could have it if he filled the hole back in when he was done. Right now Jason is thinking he will start collecting parts to eventually put it back on the road. Here is video part one of the extraction. Enjoy.

What a great story! Fitting song on the vid too! Let's see part 2!
I didn't have to dig that much to get my bus but I did have to dig and cut some trees to get jacks under it so I could install a transaxle etc for extraction.

That video looks like something you might see on a PBS, a paleological dig. Or maybe it should be paleovalogical? Nice work. |

I don't want to steal your thunder but for those who haven't found them, parts two and three are up and can be found under the same account.
It's a fun watch and I hope there are good plans for this poor Bug. _________________ 1954 3-fold ragtop Beetle project

It appears that the passenger side rear roof section was shot from outside the car, the drivers side from the inside. Do you plan on saving the original roof or grafting on a donor roof panel? _________________ 1957 VW Oval Resto Mod |

My friend just picked up this 57 last week. I haven't seen it yet but it appears to have a grafted ragtop. Came with a truckload of OEM parts too!

My turn to play, I just coerced a buddy to let go of this 57 stalled project.
Had to give this thread some new c-rustiness. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

Thanks Ultramoron, I'm looking forward to building this car this year. Very rust free. I'm going to get the pan sandblasted and then start the build process. |

That Tennessee tag with 1-xxxx means it was a Shelby county, Memphis area car. Where did you find that? Looks like it was a minute ago. |
