ABANDONED Car Rescued From Woods After 50 Years - 1960 VW Beetle | 4 Full Restoration
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- Today we drive through the NH woods into an old car graveyard from over 50 years ago. This is the first car we rescue and pull from this honey hole but not our last. The VW Beetle is rusty, rough and buried in the ground but is it savable? To be Restored ? 4 Full Restoration? It has an engine, will it run after sitting 50 years in the woods?
Who ever tells you about this stuff is not your friend. You have a true dedication to saving/restoring VWs
Where and how do you find these things?
yep. true.
@@sandraclowdus6549 He has a living and understanding wife!
@@kenshores9900 that should be loving. But yeah without that none of this would be possible. lol
@@stude1953 S true!
I'm 56 and have rescued a few hundred VWs and other cars and trucks from the woods, desert, farms and junk yards, just like you're doing. It kicks one's ass after awhile. I'm still after a couple of buses in Nevada that I'll go get eventually. Like you, I carry two drum-puller kits; a cheap Chinese made puller and a Blue Point puller. The Blue Point is the way to go. Keep at it, as you're keeping me inspired.🙂👍
But it's people like you folks that save these rusting VWs for restoration and parts, and save them for historical and enjoyment purposes. While I'm not doing any rescues any more, I truly appreciate the work it takes to retrieve and restore the cars I drove in my teens while working at a used car lot. Good work guys!
You're like fellow Troubadours.
Brave man doing that rescue on your own. Respect your dedication.
Some philanthropist left a Beetle in the woods with a key in the ignition! If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have believed it! 😂❤😂 Thanks for Yet Another Awesome Video! 🎉❤👍👍
Man, I was holding my breath several times. Glad you made it out safe. Helluva rescue.
thank you , much appreciated
The most incredible crazy car rescue I've seen on YT for almost a decade. Can't believe you really were going through all that trouble. Cheers!
Jason, you're an animal! What a ton of work to get that bad boy out. Thanks for taking the time to video these rescues for us to enjoy. Super enjoyable to watch.
Sometimes we would like to help through the screen!
thank you, I appreciate it WarBird
At first I thought that this was a fake video. Okay, the old bug was in his favourite condition (stuck deep in the ground and without floor pans). But the guy, who looks exactly like 5150mxVW, came fully prepared! I've never seen that in all the years I watch this channel. But after some time it became clear: It is an original and more or less typical 5150mxVW rescue mission video! And as masochistic as almost always. 😁 ;-)
Nevertheless: In the end he always brings something home. Sometimes he is in a limb mode after those exhausting rescue missions, this time it's the car too. 😱🙈
Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
I live in NH but I'd swear that looks like you were in the Amazon LOL. Hard core dedication!
Yes it's a 60. Looks like Arctic or Flint Grey. Hard to tell from the video. One year only interior also. Such a nice combination. Nice save.
ر سول الله
The sweat equity in recovering these is priceless.
It’s amazin😮g what go through to save a VW True love affair I enjoy your videos. Thanks from. Sc
Gotta give it to ya Jason The Bugman never quits. 💪😁✊ Endeavor to Persevere.
I helped a buddy pull a late 50's bug out of the woods a few years back. We were worried about the rusty framehead and didn't want to rip the front beam loose. So we cabled up to the transmission horns, pulled from there, and bundled the cable to the front beam to keep it pulling straight. Worked like a charm. Also, when pulling brake drums and the shoes get stuck to them, take a long punch or screwdriver and poke it through the open lug bolt holes to push the shoes back towards the backing plate. Helps keep things from binding up and making the pull even harder.
BTW, did you dig those black tent poles from the scrap pile next to the Westy? Also, that split bus door is a Palm Green/Sand Green from a 56-58 bus. Nice score!
And wear a hat!
yes, great ideas Corey , I have used a punch in the past ...my luck i'd bugger up the threads lol, so i stuck with the hammer. That. is my plan on the SO23 camper, try and tie the frame / beam / torsion tube all together for loading once it's a roller....the poles are still there , i didn't grab them haha, i will. thank you
Began watching Mustie 1 several years ago. So naturally I saw you n him rescuing VWs. Now I also follow your channel. Awesome what y’all are doing saving VWs.
You have to give Jason credit, there is no quit in him. Just going out in that brush with a trailer is crazy. There's a reason why he's by himself. Haha 😄
thank you Tim, I really appreciate that
A standing ovation to you Jason for doing this all by yourself! And you didn't run into a Sasquatch up there either!
thank you James !!
I’m totally lost for words man. I was going to say at first watching your content is truly one of a kind, that to, but it’s better fitting to say what your sharing is amazing VW stories! Thank you and keep it coming.. love it!
Ohhhh this looks fun! Buried deep in the woods!! Watching now!
This was absolutely killer!!!! Doing this all by yourself...and the only one cussing was me! Your level of patience, fortitude, and determination is off the scale!!!
OMG Jason! That was a crazy rescue! Don’t be doing that sh*t by yourself. So happy you made it out of the forest safely and home. Talk about determination.
AffAnkha
Wow, what a portrait in determination. One eye must be smiling!
thank you AP, well right now the one eyeball fell out on the way home ( unbroken on trailer ) and it's leaking tranny fluid all over the trailer ....marking it's spot perhaps ?
You my friend are one determined individual !!!!!!
How that door closes at 9mins 30 is incredible. 😅 I'd never have believed it.
Mate at what point does a car look too far gone for you to rescue? Have you ever seen one and just left it because it was just too knackered?
I love watching these cars getting rescued man but I'd also really love to see what happens to them afterwards - a resto, etc. The videos you post with Larry are really great.
Did anyone else notice all the stuff falling out from where the pan should be? Just awesome.
My seats !!! OMG , that sucked 🤦♂️…usually it’s just the battery , not my low backs , ugh
Simple: AWESOME! I have shared this with all my VW buddies! Tremendous respect!
You need some grad students on these archeological digs. Keep up the great work and thanks for the video, J.
Nice work Jason, cool bug. Is that the Blair Witch house in the background?!
Looks like the perfect horror movie situation...deep in the forest and it's starting to become dark...tree falls without explanation oh and power loss by the nearby residents...I'll just scream myself to sleep tonight 😂😂
I need those dash grille pieces 😳
Now that’s what I call dedication!! Ole one eye Willie 😁😂 That was funny!
You definitely needed another guy there.
You didn’t go swimming!
The end looked like a scary movie!
Hell yeah Rad Dude!! Save em all!! I love all the weird unique features of the 1960 beetle!! That is definitely a 60, I can tell by the one year only vertical key slot in the door handle!!
Hi Chris, thank you for the 60 info , i'm a newb on the 60 stuff
@@5150mxVW no sweat homie!! I have an April 1960 pearl white beetle and I love the odd ball quirky one year stuff they have!! Weirdest part is the trans mount on the nose cone of the transmission, which raises it slightly, which tilts the engine down a tad, which means one year only dipstick!! (Supposed to be painted red! So we dont mix em up!) Stock muffler would have been different too as a result! Fan shroud has 1 year only rubber wire clips, and since it's the last year for screw type wire connections, the turn signal switch is incredibly rare!! That and the vertical key slot. Also cool 1 year color options! I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, but they are such cool weird beetles!! Cant wait to see more on this car!!! Have a Rad Day duder!!! You kick ass dude!!!!!!
Feature of early Beetles, seats can go through the floor for easy access. :) Great save there!
"Horsefly Benny Hillin' my head right now." LOL! Yes, nice reference, Jason! loved The Benny Hill Show. 🙂
haha, awesome :)
Another saved bug! Who knows how much of it can be saved. I think you and Mustie need to do a road trip and rescue the van!
Once again this man never gives up...
You guys pick one hell of a place to find and rescue a car 🚗 😊👍⁉️
Amazong Jason. You saw it through to the end. God Bless
You are the Master of retreiving old VW-s buried in the woods! People do realize how hard this is !
You are one crazy VW fanatic!!!! Love watching you rescue bugs and vans! Keep it up! :)
I've rescued a lot of vws, but here in south dakota they never seemed that bad! Good job!
That looked like alot of work. When I was a teenager that wasn't a big deal . I only saw a car that was headed for the road. I know your not a teenager but you still have the same visions. Go for it and good luck.
Way to hang in there. I wish I could find and recover my 63 bug that I abandoned in 1978 .
Great dedication ...compulsive viewing well done Jason .Keep the rescues coming. Recently discovered the channel .Brings back great memories of owning a beetle...everyone needs to have driven one in there car owning life. Nothing quite like it !
Would love to have a Microbus myself.
Awesome video. Felt like I was right there with you getting bit by horse flies, getting muddy and beat to hell by the end of it. lol. But always a good feeling saving another VW from the grave.
Awesome work getting that out. Enjoy the video!
These jungle rescues are something else. Really needs to be a documentary and if I had the time abs $ I’d come film it.
very brave of you doing all that on your own must say thats a new way of getting out the back seat look foreward to the next one
Watching you is always fun great video
thank you Jeff, much appreciated
I’m new to your channel but I’ve got to say that you are the only guy who actually takes the proper time to remove the brake drums so that it’s a hell of a lot easier moving the vehicle.
That’s the way I was taught by my dad and uncle. I believe I’ve got a new favourite channel
Have at it!
hi Andrew , thank you , much appreciated ...gotta get the rusty ones rolling or you twist em to all hell :)
I could sit all day and watch you work. Loved the video. Probably should have someone with you.
Dude, because of your videos, my brothers and I pulled a 67 bus out of the woods this past weekend! Thanks for the education and your commitment to rescuing these!
Nice ! was that the 67 SO42 ? I think I saw it on the CT VWA page, nice find !
@5150mxVW yeah! Would love any suggestions, recommendations, referrals for welding companies in the area.
"You guys still here " you had me rolling 🤣 where we going.
I'm exhausted just watching you work. That was quite an endeavor 😯 I could hear the horse fly 😱This would have made a great Twilight Zone episode.
What an awesome adventure. Hard work. Have a few cold brews. You deserve it.
thank you, I thought I'd have time for a cold one in the cold crystal clear pools of the river but nope....next time :). I deserved some water but drove 2 hours thirsty as my truck hadn't gone into limp mode yet....yet haha
@@5150mxVW Awesome bro.
I’m glad you can’t hear me shouting at the screen! I love your determination and doggedness.
All those trees to use to turn the trailer around with AND you had a WINCH to do it with!
Dood you need a couple of pulleys and another tow strap and you’d be golden.
I haul trees out of difficult areas and use the same technique. Pulleys, rope and ground anchors and you can haul anything out of anywhere.
Well your an hero doing that removel on your own kudo's to you I know it took a long time but overall I think it went well keep posting I love watching you sir thank you Andy.
That was a Indiana Jones discovery and rescue from the forest ! 🤘🤘🤘 space ace ron⚡️⚡️⚡️
Wow !!!!! After this im going to get a cold one and jump in the whirlpool . Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude ! Thanks ✌😎
Have any of those “We push cars around” tshirts. Might be a song in the future
I can't believe your dedication in saving these vw. Boarding on madness!
thank you Sasha , I appreciate it
Love the rescues! What happened with the Bus?
headed back in a couple days for the Bus, I needed to get a win under my belt lol... Every tow vehicle I own is having issues / needs work so I wasn't sure I was even going to be able to trailer the Beetle home due to QX56 going into limp mode constantly. I was in neutral coasting down the hills of the highway with the truck off ...it was BAD. Took forever to get up there , couldn't find the sweet spot / trick / gear / speed / tow mode , no tow mode , tried everything. On the way home it flat out died a few times and would not restart. It was the longest ride home ever, got home at 6 am ...did snooze some but it was bad :).
J that was amazing! How you saved both those VWs in the conditions they and you were in is crazy. A big tip of the cap for doing what you do! Get your truck fixed and safe travels 🙂
thank you Glen, much appreciated !
Jason has much more guts than me for sure. Is awesome how he car retrieve these buried VW's and get them going again.
Love watching you
thank you , I appreciate that !
Nice addition, what a dig!
thank you Danny
That was brilliant, really enjoyed it and the bit at the end was rather scary.
You are a persistent individual! Great Job,
Timber!!!!!
Thanks for sharing

I bought one of those 2 wheel trailer jacks for mine. Best money I ever spent. It's set up so you can push a button and flip it up out of the way when not needed.
That's a $30k VW for all the work and effort you put into it trying to get it out of there!! lol Enjoy your videos!
How did that door close?🤯🤯🤯
I never get tired of seeing you rescue these old VWs.
Thank you , much appreciated
You are the Fred Rogers of CZcams! The way you include us with the little comments have me speaking back to you - much like my daughter did when she was a toddler 30 years ago. Had to explain to her that he couldn’t hear her answers to her questions. Of course, me talking to you and thinking I’m hearing an answer from you is probably a sign of early dementia, haha! As always, we’ll done! You never give up!!!
Man this is rad 🤙🏼
thank you, that was easy compared to what lies ahead ....
L that is the hardest rescue I have ever seen, and by yourself. I don't know how you did it, honestly and kept the high spirits up that you are know for. I applaud you my friend! Now what was wrong with your truck? I feel bad for you sometimes. God Bless you Jason!
Where's Josh? Was the bus enough for him! You are an animal Jason! It definitely shows once again your passion for vw's, and it's awesome! Wish I could bring my shovel and back along to help! But wouldn't you know it? I have no shovel, sorry buddy! As always, great job with the rescue. I knew that sucker was going home no matter what! You're the man!
Josh kinda tapped out on the last one ...hopefully he gets his💩together and comes back for the next one. I don't expect him to be out for 10 hours like me but ...Thank you JP, much appreciated my friend
Need to send a Bobcat tracked skid steer for Jason to use to extract these tough ones.😊
2 minutes in and WOW Jason that is a handfull. Glued to the screen.
Omg I loved it when the camera fell over. That was awesome dude I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
thank you for the kind words Kris, much appreciated
That is the definition of a field service mechanic, I was never sent on anything that bad but I have seen some real messes. Great job brother, if you can see it you can fix it 🐾✌️🇺🇸
You have some of the most difficult recoveries I have ever seen anyone attempt. You obviously love what you do, and I'm glad you do it. Save the other ones and that old lawn mower too. I would love to restore that thing.
Thank you you are a hero
Jeep Gladiator! Grab it! That Ford looks like your best bet.
Man you are one HARD wokin Guy...If you are doing what u love ,My Hat is off to ya.
thank you Mike, this is fun work , what i do to get away from " work " haha
THIS was 1 off your greatest video //JUST OUTSTANDING --thanks
HEY. SUPER. AWESOME. SIR. YOU. ARE. THE. BEST. WE. LOVE. THIS CHANNEL...😇😇😇😇😇😇
I kept hearing the Monty Python song as you were deep in the forest, "I'm a Lumberjack and that's OK,,," 😅🤣😂. Then the Archeologist Song began to play as you were extracting the car, "Oh I am an archaeologist you can tell it by my physique, If you listen very carefully you may just hear me creak, My knees have gone, my back is bent...." 😁 Yup Jason, I looked up Perseverance in the Dictionary and sure enough, there was a picture of you. Thanks for another awesome video my friend. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
I swear I just feel exhausted after watching this 🥱
you will sleep good tonight :)
Fantastic job Jason! 👏 I wouldn't have even thought about doing that on my own! Mind blowing 🤯. Thanks for rescuing yet another little Beetle buddy ❤
Unbelievable amount of work. That was great!
I have a serious question. I love VWs as much as the next guy, but are rescues like this one truly worth it? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching you dragging home rust, but are they special enough to endure what you do? Keep em coming!!!
That floor was holding by a literal thread... I was afraid the car was going to rip in half! What an epic save, Jason.
I could spend all day picking through there
If everything worked perfect on the first try, would you still be doing it?
I mean, where's the fun if it isn't a challenge?
Glad to see you got on the trailer in one piece, mostly.
It's amazing that there are so many cars hidden in the woods. Getting them out of there requires courage and self-sacrifice. I did that in the past (in France with Citroen Tractions) have a lot of imagination. Extracting Ceyye, all alone, devoured by insects was not easy. The problems even went as far as the trailer. What courage it takes, sometimes.
That was one crazy rescue!? You really do have a knack for finding the most outrageous rescues. Really do enjoy your exploites. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks for sharing your adventure saving a bug and getting mauled by bugs.
thank you for dropping in and checking it out RMonkey
Man even if I was not a lover of Beetles I will not miss a minute of these episodes ! The entertainment value alone is off the charts ! ha ha ha ha Tell Josh I am proud of him, he took my advice and ran - he will be home in a week or two. The best !!
Haha yeah he did lol ! Thank you Henry, much appreciated . I’m headed up tonight to pull the SO23 Bus out
I got to tell you that was the sketchiest rescue i have seen you do! I thought doing the weeds was enough, but that whole trailer debacle ! Then that POS Harbor Freight winch! I got to hand it to you you are one dedicated guy, and a powerhouse of energy, and Jenn is a saint! Thanks for doing what you do, you had me laughing many times!
Damn that’s a hell of a job!😳I gotta handed to you! You have patience to pull that off out of it’s grave! Yikes!
you fined some lovely cars
Good puller tool, amazing work,
thank you Neil, only shot i had at not ripping it in half :)
Parabéns pela determinação e inteligência vc merece 0 que contista show
