I just picked up this 74 Standard for $400.  It's only got 31,000 miles on her, but has been sitting for about 10 years.  Mosty complete except for the back seat, which was taken out for a battery service and was then lost in a tornado!  Yes, this bug survived outdoors during a tornado...the family lost they're house, shop, and almost everything they owned, but this bug survived with just a lost back seat.  She's pretty dirty right now, but I did wash and wax a fender and was pleasantly surprised by the shine of the paint underneath the grime.  I think she'll clean up pretty good!   There is some rust, but nothing too bad...  anyway, on to the pics!

 

This is where I found her...out behind a friends shed

You can really see the grime and mold on the paint here

I think the interior should clean up quite nicely!

Here she is loaded for the trip home with my wife and I proving that fat people can fit in a bug!  lol

Nice Volkswagen man. Nice and stock, beautiful. Can't wait to see it when it's all cleaned up. Are you going to restore it? Check out my Volkswagen, it's gonna have new pics in a month or so, whenever the new coat of paint is on.
