Found behind a long abandoned house in Toronto.

The Thing in the background was beyond destroyed, the entire driver's side of the body had pretty much fallen off, the tunnel was broken in the middle, and a tree fell on it in the 90s.

But, the '64 will live on.

I'll get some for you when I have it back- it was built in the early 80s by a guy who had a Beetle race car, I picked it up in the spring and as someone who has hauled a *lot* of vehicles on many, many trailers... I am in disbelief at how well the thing works.

The Bus is still looking okay but the Beetle on the right behind the trees, looks pretty rusty.

Composite photo of an abandoned (?) yellow late Squareback in a ditch adjacent to US Route 9 in southern Vermont, early 2000's.

Light blue '68 Squareback in junkyard, Pahrump, Nevada. 2/2004. I was returning to Las Vegas from a day trip to Death Valley, California and came past this yard, located near the intersection of "I think" Bell Vista Rd and NV Rt 160. The yard was bordered by old cars parked nose-to-tail to form a "fence" but there were small gaps where I could fit through. It was after hours and I limited my exploration to a small section.
