Does anyone else follow "5150mxvw" on YouTube? He rescues old ACVWs and gets them running. He's been trying to dig out this 15 window bus for a while, slowly making progress.

Just watched him pull a ratty 56 single cab out of its three decade resting place.

Seen in the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) forum a few years ago. I went back to its post year 2022 in this thread but did not see it.

Looks like something Derek Bieri would take a run at ... if it wasn't an ACVW. :lol: |

The tree is asking, "Does this Beetle make my trunk look fat?" |

Hah.... I was thinking of him when I dragged it home. Hinges definitely required some soaking and a bit of heat cycling before I tried to open the door.

Only took about 20 minutes to get it running, though. That surprised me as it's been parked since the early 80s. However, I have not tried to move it under its own power, the driver's seat is held in by carpet. |

He did an ACVW recently. And he’s ventured into the land of maple syrup and Timmy Ho’s before so yeah I can see it.

Wow... That's a 68 or 69, so best case it has sat there since new, which would be 57 years. Can a tree trunk grow that big around in 57 years? |
