- Take a walk with us around the property of a lifelong VW collector. We discover
many cool aircooled models including a few Oval Window sedans and a 56 convertible. The big score of the day though was when we opened the doors of what appeared to be an old camper trailer. It was rumored there was a Split Window on the property, and we were all thrilled to discover what was hiding in plain sight all these years.

Quite a stash of old classic VW's. The music is a real distraction. Some narration, voice overs about the cars would have represented a real improvement.
I mute the sound on annoying things like this.
@@coopedup2 I also mute the music but never sure if I am missing any narrative. Also it's pretty boring to be so quiet. Natural sound is the best
The junk all around the house annoyed me the most .
Absolutely! It ruins the video. We're car enthusiasts, so simply listening to their unscripted reactions would be much much better.
The music renders this unwatchable.
Amazing. Some rare bugs there. What a great place to wander around in.
Just when you think probably no more barn finds in the world, this shows up. Pretty neat!
A bug's fans dream lot. Split window is a real treat.
Glad you got the Convertible too...
Find of a lifetime.
Sweet split!!
I had a 1960 VW in 1968 wish I still had it
There's a thing called a VOLUME CONTROL for folks who Don't Like the music ...
Not sure why the split had heart tail lights(?) but it also had the wrong bumpers.
Don’t get me wrong, I am jealous!
That 56 vert is MONEY!!!
Score!
That 50 is killer!! Great find.
Great find but the music is a bit over the top!
Yes great find - but hate the Music - commentary would be so much better !
@@nickpreece18 Agreed! That music was horrible to have to listen to through the whole video.
That's not music. We're car enthusiasts, so listening to their unscripted reactions would have been much better.
Yes their reactions to the cars etc would have been great - we are all enthusiasts at the end of the day and we dream about this stuff. I've had a few Beetles in my time and a few years back a mate of mine found several split window Beetles in an old country shed, pretty much rust free.
Score! What a beautiful Beetle! I have an Australian built 1964 Volkswagen Beetle 1200, so much fun to drive!
One of the best states for finding non-rusted cars! And no sun damage! Incredible find, need part two …
In what state?
@@bosepos9971: Oregon
Cool splitty and the Oval. Kill the music on this video please.....
Wow! What a find!👍🏼
I had an opportunity to see this car at a VW show in Seattle last spring. While it’s not totally original (as discussed in the hot VWs mag), it was still fun to see a straight unmolested survivor.
That square back 👍
I had an old split for a long time. Used to really love VWs until they went all Barrett-Jackson on everybody. Great little hobby cars that didn't cost a fortune. Times have really changed.
No joke when I was a teenager in the 90s I bought a 65 a 67 and a 71 all less than $700 each

VWs were so much fun! In 1991 I bought a 1967 Microbus for $650, got it running, and drove that bus out of one of the worst times of my life. It needed some rust repair, like most do, but when it started popping out of 4th gear I decided to sell it to someone who had the time and place to properly repair it, which I did not at that time.
I drove my split for 5 years, then stored it. I finally let it go to a friend's son who is a masterful body guy and he'll give it the care I never had time to give it.
Nowadays it seems like anything fun gets ruined when wealthy people get involved. You either go large or go home. I went home.
You know, old Saabs are quirky little cars that don't have a big rich boomer following! Maybe a suitable hobby car for the rest of us there!
Oh, now I've said too much...
I had a 59 bug, I paid $30 for it and drove it for 4 years , it ended up in a demolition derby with a Morris Minor and it was destroyed but still running.
@@rescue270 yeah my 65 had a 1921 cc in it with dual carbs and a 1835 with duals in my 67. I used to bust mustang 5.0's asses back in the 90's lol.. Those are two cars I definitely wish I would have kept but of course being a teenager back then once I turned about 20 I got into the mini trucking thing and had a 94 S10 that I put a lot of money into and a 96 Tacoma I still got that S10 and some beauty to behold and I can get fair amount of money for that thing right now, it's crazy how even those trucks are worth money now.. I steal daily drive a 92 Ford ranger that I bought in 97 I got 489,000 mi on it just replace the transmission 2 months ago other than that I put a set of eldebrock heads on it at 300,000 miles when the water pump went out and it blew the head gaskets and warped the stock heads but she's a runner I ain't never had a problem really out of it other than those two problems which is to be expected with all the miles I got on it.
@@rescue270 you are definitely right about the money thing though because I still only have an average job where I make $45/50,000 a year and it is hard to compete with people who've got lots of money because they collect any and everything now.. a few years ago I started noticing stuff that I had kept when I was a kid like Nintendo games super Nintendo games and a bunch of other video game systems I kept because when I was a kid we didn't have a lot of money so I kept everything I had as far as those toys and game systems.. well I start looking online the other day and these games that were worth like 50 cent are going for like hundreds of dollars now which is crazy ridiculous but once again it's all these people on CZcams a hyping these games up on their channels and stuff and making these games that really aren't worth that much money go through the roof so if you really want to start collecting anything like that now like some people are doing you will never have a chance to do it because some of the values on these games are crazy. I was looking at a few Sega Saturn games I had and they were going for $1400 to $1800 a game I was like who in there right mind could even collect these things now if they wanted to because all these people with money buy everything up I seen this one guy on CZcams who have like a hundred copies of one game and that games worth like $500 and I'm like this one guys got 100 copies of this game that he probably never plays because you can emulate them for free on your computer or modify a game system to play them and not even have to have the cartridge but these people are buying all the real cartridges up so that they can have them and make the value go up it's crazy and sick at the same time.
Nice find , glad you grabbed the '56 'vert too .
Ignore the kiddies who complain, they're just jerkhoffs .
I was a Journeyman VW Mechanic back in the day, my favorite split was an early '53 'Zwitter' .
I'm resurrecting a raggedy '59 # 113 now, I can't possibly afford to re spray it much less restore it but I'll make a good driver out of it .
Odd how every where I go in it folks want to buy it, back in the day it's wouldn't have been accepted in any junkyard .

Awesome find !
What a great find!!
What a great collection. Imagine what parts may be squirrelled away as well.
Awesome!!!
Outstanding disguise on that camper trailer 👍 it looks almost like it's been refit into a car trailer. 🧐
As a Volksy this is disturbing to see so much nice iron setting out and rotting! It would have been worse if I was still in So. Cal. where there were a lot of VW parts shops!!
Holy cow. That was amazing.
🤯 pristine and 20years older than me..
A great video!
The pretzel beetle is in a dream state! The last (until 1950) Beetle with the 1 pipe exhaust. Super rare!
Thanks!
Greetings
Klaus from Düsseldorf / Germany
Man what a beauty!👌🥰👍
Very Nice Find.😊👍
Wow who ever the guy was who owned this stuff was a legend may he rip with the Gods.
what you call split window, in germany is called: Brezel-Käfer. Brezel look up on the net pls. Käfer is bug.
3:12 I'm going to guess the gentleman in the orange cap is the seller. And this 1950 VW was his pride and joy. I had a Bug Eye Sprite 32 years. When I retired I let it go. I can relate to how he must feel watching it leave down the road.
I was a VW mechanic back in the 70's, always wanted an Oval. Weren't many around only knew of 2 in town. Found a '57 about 15 years ago, dragged it out of the weeds and after about a mile of welding wire, very little Bondo and lots of work and money she's a Horizon Blue honey.
glad to see you rescued the oval vert too. did you get all the ovals out of there. Also there were several pre66 bugs hope you got them all. great save.
what a BEAUTY ❤🇩🇪❤👈
What a score, that early cab will make an interesting project. I know where a 57 sits , was externally restored in the mid 90’s laid on its side in the late 90’s and been in a garage ever since, but she won’t budge on parting with it.
I bought a 1960 Saab 93F out of a garage 6 years ago and it was as good as that split window. I redid the brakes and some electrical work and I drive it all the time in the summer. I had a 56 bug in the 1970s but it was a rusted POS that lasted a week until a guy totalled it with a pickup truck. I still miss my 62 bug convertible, the first engine I ever rebuilt by myself.
Felsitasiones a grandes maestros mecánicos fabulosos saludos cordiales dé la república de chile
Wow. What a find.
Hermosos vehículos como para que los tenga en esas condiciones. Son autos muy bien hechos ojalá los restauren y los usen felicidades al nuevo propietario. Disfrutelo no los guarde esos autos hay que lucir los manejarlos. Ya estuvo muchos años en el abandono total, es hora de que los usen. Saludos y bendiciones para todos ustedes desde Iztapalapa cdmx. Exelente adquisición.
Whatever the circumstances this grubby place is heaven for veedub fans.
Me and a friend of mine once found a 52 split window and a 57 oval in the same barn for $400. They were both sunroof models.
😭😭😭😭
Wow what a find ,,, it's doodle bug territory,, lots of VW,s that's cool ,,can you believe it ,,I like the green one that they are rescuing to restore ,,
Oh man i want them both
WOW. Bow wow. Lucky enough to drive an iconic bug or two. Couple porches also. Boss at Volkswagen Specialist's was awesome. He'd buy lunch everyday. Tacos, they were awesome. Then we'd talk about what's going on with our customers cars.
Mostly restorations. Some were just maintenance. Loved working there.
Boss gave me a 1959 single cab , 1962 dbl. Cab and a boat that was hand made by a relative of mine. Besides hiring me in his shop. 0 experience, almost no tools. My mom got me the job, pretty sure.
Anyhow, thank you.
Edit: long story short, traded the '59 for a 70' fastback , stock but ran like an airplane.
62' Wolfsburg special, I never got home.
Ended buying a '62 from a guy in Sumner, WA.
He told me he was Mrs. Wilson of heart, Uncle. Supposedly her college van. I bought it for $150. Complete,no motor. I believed the Wilson story because of the title in her name.
Sold it for $150. Wasn't one for making a profit.
I've had a few VW cars and vans, square backs and fastbacks too. Dream cars.
LOL, it is not "porches", that is something to stand upon. Try Porsche!
That was a good year too for sure
This is what dreams are made of.
Great find, awful music.
So classic
Very nice
I remember seeing the Split windows and lots of the Small windows on the highway. If Only....
Hermosos carrito felicidades
This seems like kind of a second-generation barn find. I don't know if it is all-original or had been previously restored, but it clearly had a previous life as an already classic car. Twelve years isn't a particularly long time to be sitting idle, especially if it has been out of the elements. Probably just need to go through the fluids thoroughly before starting it up and driving it. Still a nice find regardless.
Wow!... Pretty Good Finds... I'm Sure that they Didn't Come Cheap $$$
A VW treasure.
Need that samurai!
Loved my Samurai ! From my Bodybuilding days my ex wife said it looks like your driving a sneaker 👍
Oh how i wish it were mine!
What a shiny "Property"
I had a 56
I've owned 4 split window coupes but never a split window bug.
Amazin
I hope there will be a follow up to this
The 411 wagon could take a bus engine without any modifications .... Sleeper wagon.
Grab the Vega wagon!
Omg, I just realized I'm a wagon nut. 😉
The type 4 shown in this video is actually more amazing than the Bug🤔
Score on both cars.ovel window would be good to get out of there also. Looks like it was repainted back in the day & put away.
crazy thing is I live in Oregon. I wonder where exactly this was found.
The excitement is obviously expressed by the " porn special " classic music.
CONGRATS, she's beautiful & & well preserved 👍
Oh my goodness.....
I saw two oval window hard top Beetles as well. Did you rescue those too??
Some cool metal. But you left the avocado green Pinto wagon? Or was it a Vega?😂
That's a rescue.. Not a barn find!
Probably gets similar fuel mileage than modern cars... And can still get you there
WOW
Son of a b**** ,,hope to see part 2 Soon as possible Kool video guys... nice 50..
That's a great collection of VW's you saved. Did you get the Datsun/Nissan 810/maxima wagon or was it a Toyota Cressida?
No only the Volkswagen cars.
Very interesting collection car, but a cars cementery has nothing interesting to shaw.
We hope to see more of this car.
I'm an American muscle car guy. However I've got a soft spot for early bugs.
Donde esta'n estos Volkyes,
This bug would make a good Baja bug
Quê achado em 8ma raridade
Gotten is not a word!
SPL🔥T!!
And an old Vega station wagon
Even growing up in the 60s I'm till trying to understand VW mania. Guess I never will.
A reincarnation of a Panzer Tank!
Wow, there aree many okd beetles. Is anyone frfor sale?
😁👍
No matter what it’s a great find as long as you didn’t have to pay $100,000 for it :-)
I've gotten so sick of deep pocketed people buying up everything in sight, running prices into the stratosphere, and leaving nothing for the rest of us. I have abandoned the VW hobby entirely. I have already seen two local VW salvage yards be completely cleaned out and shut down by guys who show up and drop a great big bill for everything.
I hate it when something I really enjoyed becomes too expensive for me to partake of only because wealthy people began to show an interest in it. That has happened to VWs.
Thank you, Barrett-Jackson.
I keep hoping old VWs will soon go the way of Beanie Babies and get cheap again.
👍🏻TRUE HISTORY 👍🏻🍻🍻🥩🇺🇲
Enjoy watching barn find videos , but having owned a couple of VW’s in the early 70’s cannot see the attraction 🤔
Some lovely finds there. Was that an old Fiat I saw as well?
What's a magaine?
LOL I flipped a Super Beetle upside down one time. My dad showed up with a backhoe and I was like, how are we going to roll it back over.
He said just rock it and so we did and rolled it back on all four wheels. Man I h8t3d that car. I should of got the Karmann Ghia, and my cousin taken the Super Beetle instead. A faux sports car would of fit my personality a lot better than an austere people's car. At least I could of pretended I had an Italian styled sports car.
I thought it was hiding in the outdoor potty
3:59: Umm....you want to put the heavier car on first....
Any of the others for sale?
Only one would be the 59 bug with matching pan and title
Where is this place at.
It was in Roseburg Oregon
Eu não imaginava que os VW eram tão amados assim pelos gringos, eu mesmo aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷, quando jovens eram o nosso primeiros e único carro que nos faziam mais soltos pela liberdade, eu mesmo já possui o ano 73,66,74,75 e 79, e meu pai é irmãos também, acho porque ele era de pouca manutenção e confiável, não tinha aquilo de.por água e radiadores a única água era para o limpador de parabrisas que assim mesmo era por injeção manual através de um sistema meio arcaico...mas era ótimo não precisamos apostar nada nem em segurança e velocidade ele era meio termo em tudo,kkkkkk
That car is worth more than a 63 split window Corvette
