Today we rescue a 1964 VW Beetle in South Alabama. It's been sitting in a barn for over 25 years. Check it out.

I love it. embed it into a giant cube of 2-part epoxy resin.... no, that would weigh one million pounds and coast one million dollars in resin, never mind that.

CT you’ve inspired me. I’ve been hesitant to flat tow my 66 250 miles home. I’m gonna do it! Thanks! Great find!

The tow bars work great. Make sure you have good tires and safety chain and you can get the LED tow lights from amazon for $20. =)

We have a ‘64 Beetle that I bought for my wife as an engagement present and a restoration project about the same time that this Beetle went under that carport! Fortunately, our car had a completely body sandblasting back in 1998 and was put under primer and stored inside since that time! The motor was rebuilt right before Covid and the body is (finally) just about ready to paint! My original goal was to finish the car in a year; now, I just hope to get it finished before I am too old to enjoy it! You only really lose if you quit and give up!

looks like he just drove it and maintained it original up until the late 90s when he stopped driving it. All that rust from the ocean air did a number on it. But what saved it was that awning it was under. otherwise it would be much worse.

Cool, I just hope you have the time to get into this one being you have all the other project still waiting to be restored? Or are you just doing partial flips on them? Understand if you can make a profit to keep getting more projects if that's the case? I'm starting to see off some stuff right now so I have room. What I would like to do is get the 40hp rebuilt and sell it and hopefully buy a vintage Corvair motor and all and if really lucky a Monza 140hp 4 speed two door which are hard to find around here.

The torsion damper that hooks to the steering under the gas tank is worn out, it is what steadies the front wheels and keeps them from doing what you experienced.

So nice of this family helping you CT. "Alabama" looks sad , but is too much work on it. My VW beetle was a 68 one with semi automatic shifting Did you know CT that the beetle with split rear windows is called in Germany "Brezel Käfer" prezel bug . Because the rear Window looks like a little bit like a german prezel 😊

Anybody know what an X code engine is? I thought it might be a factory replacement block but I don't know. I bought a 73 super and it came with a single port head engine with an X code stamped in. I no longer have that block because I swapped in a 1600 but I've always wondered what I had.
