Let's go buy the cheapest 1962 Vw Beetle I could find online, I bought it with only 3 pictures. Car has been sitting for 35 years! We take my first drive through the Adirondacks. Price revealed, was this a good deal or bad deal?

That's a good find all day long at that price tag. Not sure how it is up north, but here in Virginia, they are a real Pain trying to get titles for cars that left abandoned or sold without one. Just picked up a '72 standard beetle that needs pans and channels but everything else is there and not a tear in the headliner. Now waiting for the state to give me a title for it. Auction purchase without a title but way to good to part out and it even has a body tag, key and had it running in 30 mins after sitting for 11 years. Can't wait to see some progress on the '62. Thanks for sharing

Great save! I unfortunately have been out of the aircooled VW game since the mid 90's, so naturally there is a lot of sticker shock I experience. With any older car! In 1991, I sold a '70 sedan with perfect floor pans, aftermarket fake button tuck door panels, one piece windows (hated them!) that needed paint, and some front and rear apron repair for $600. Drove it daily, 1600 dual port that had a weber progressive that was dialed in good and a header. Man I was an idiot! But needed the money for the down payment on a small pickup more practical for a small side business at the time.

Looks like a decent deal. Not many early bugs for sale at that price in Quebec. I hope to start working on my '55 semaphore bug next Spring. I'll have to empty out the garage and build some shelving and workbenches first though. It was a solid Montana car I bought for $3400 CDN over 20 yrs ago. It only needs rear bumper mount and apron work.
