What's inside? 52 years of STUFF !!! - 1960 VW Bus Clean Out - Mango SO23 Westfalia Bulli

[@pem1126]

The parts were worth the find.

[@buddycarroll9665]

Nice find!

[@canadacatalyst]

Nice finds!!!

[@grippingyarnsuk]

That’s such a lovely bus !

[@corey6393]

At 2:08 in the video, you threw out the tent poles for the side tent. Those might be the most valuable part of this find.

[@manderson147]

Holy shit he just whipped them into the bushes?!?! WTF painful to watch. 5 seconds later: “whoa we got an air cleaner!” Lol

Back in 1978, I worked in St. Petersburg FL on a 4 man construction crew. Our work truck was an old VW bus just like the one in this video. Somehow, all 4 of us and all our tools got crammed into the bus and off we went building houses.

[@5150mxVW]

that is a great story! thank you for sharing

[@freetolook3727]

I actually had a VW bus with the same camper package. And yes, that wood standout behind the front seat is original. It's part of a fold out table that acts as a counter for the kitchen area.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Yikes 😳 what a task! Definitely a time capsule there! Good luck!

[@Oldbugssy]

@ 25:04 The box stayed together! Yeah, that got me a good belly laugh. All those VW boxed parts! Even if some where the used replacement put back in like the pump. I have never come across so many in 1 VW before. My best was a VW factory box of Type 3 pan bolts, and 2 sets (8) of ball joints in mint boxes. That was my lesson in using super old rubber and watching it degrade quickly on the ball joint boots. That was a lot of weight relieved off of that rusty Bus!

[@avanm420]

I love these VW bus archeological rescues❤! Such a cool find. Would be nice if it can be revived.

[@IEchuckie]

I'll bet you it doesn't

[@anthonywright774]

He has a friend who is teaching him to weld, it will have a new frame and floor, stay tuned.

[@Dave-hk3xf]

M1 owes you a solid..I seen him pushing a VW he had all the correct form so looked like a pro even with stuck breaks so your a good teacher

[@5150mxVW]

haha, I haven't had a chance to see the Thing vid....M1 is a strong dude, no surprise there

[@eddiekilby]

This one was a winner just for all the oem parts in original boxes.

[@johnc.fonseca8961]

Thats amazing, lots of good stufs inside.

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video & amazing find Jason on this VW bus and bet have lots extras parts make one needs to !

[@eugenebaroni1298]

Wow great score.... All those parts super job... Have a good rest of your weekend hope the bus comes out in one piece.

[@volktales7005]

I will be very impressed if you get that home in one piece. But even if you don't I am still going to enjoy watching you try.!

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you , much appreciated , headed up tomorrow …hopefully Saturday is good news

[@philipsdefreville6138]

Cool rescue! Looking forward to pulling it out.

[@josephperry6822]

You must confess thats one hell of a mess! The guy could have gotten a shed for less! At least there was some treasure. Nice job cleaning that puppy out Jason.

[@tomdale1313]

get what you can while you can, txs for sharing...

[@randysinger2673]

One Mans Junk is another's Treasure. Even if it can't be saved, It was worth it for the Parts.

[@5150mxVW]

yes Sir, it has to get saved

[@joedepoto]

This video is presented to you by Schlitz Beer! The official sponsor of The Who’s 1982 Farewell Tour!😮

[@davidcornish9235]

Really nice to get all that awesome stuff inside it! Like a bonus!!!

[@jeffgibson184]

🇺🇸👍 The green round with spikes thing is used for grave sites you put your flowers or small live plant and a little soil add water stays fresh longer. Then push into the ground while paying your respects. Grounds keepers are not to remove unless plant is dead or beyond. Lots of treasures found inside the van 👍

[@rupe53]

yes, the stakes in the bottom are for uneven ground and to keep wind from blowing the plant over.

[@allenbuck5589]

1971 man that July I reported to a draft station. Marines great videos thanks from Sc

[@RickRose]

Definitely a good idea to get all of that weight out of there. And some cool finds to boot!

[@sammaze2103]

Can't wait to see you get that van out of that location ! Maybe Mustie1 could come help you ? It won't be easy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ElectricDoktorLand]

You need a truck just to haul all that stuff! And then you'll need a team of VW folks to sift through it all. Can't wait to see the pull!

[@vw5085]

Nice find brother. Can’t wait to see more of this find.

[@5150mxVW]

thank you, headed back up this week

[@alfredamantijr3908]

thank you Chris, making another trek up this week...it better be on my trailer this time haha

[@MrTonyPiscatelle]

That van was like a stuffed thanksgiving turkey. You got it though. That critter needs a lot of work can't wait to see where you go with it !

[@besenzon1]

Wow, that’s a lot of junk. Love the original Inter. Spot the bud vase ❤

[@warbirdwf]

What a great find Jason. I bet your email blew up with folks wanting to buy it! It's amazing to this 50 something that these old VW's were once worthless due to the millions of them being around back in the day. Now, the remaining survivors are so sought after and collectable. Great video of the peeling back of the junk stored in it. Thanks for the nice words about my biz Jason- Sparxwerks! That's a bastard fuel pump in the video!

[@EduardoOliveira-ho3ll]

Amazing, keep the videos coming! Greetings from France !

[@paulwilliams8752]

The black metal poles you took out the back with the rubbish might have been for the original tent, worth a check before they go with the scrap metal.

[@corey6393]

I just saw that and gasped a little. Pretty sure that is exactly what they are! Go back and get 'em if you have not already realized it!

[@fritzkuhne2055]

duude

[@Westwalker51]

I agree about the black metal poles, definitely tent poles! And the water tank was original in the so-23 under the seat.🧙🏻‍♂️🚐✌🏻

[@corey6393]

@@Westwalker51 Yep.

[@Elijah.L.1971]

Man we need an update! Lol, I hope he didn’t throw those out! Or at least he can still go grab em!

Fantastic! I hope the rescue goes well 🙏

[@rbnhood39]

Awesome find. Sweet bus, I would love to see the restoration work.

[@leecameron7132]

Hi Jay you have got a better collection than most Volkswagen dealership what's happened to the bikes yz left everybody hanging did it run and the cr with water pump that looked like cereal and the best of all rm it's like waiting for the lottery results must be on here soon lol

[@AndreiGajzago]

Nice little gem 👌

[@CortinasAndClassics]

So much stuff in that bus no wonder it sank Jason. Great film :)

[@5150mxVW]

thank you C&C

[@MrGMawson2438]

some good stuff

[@almclean4835]

I knew you couldn’t leave it there, good on you. Lots of unexpected parts too. Looking forward to the next instalment 👍

[@5150mxVW]

Hi Al , no I could not . My Tundra had a drivetrain failure while up there so Im out here now setting up my Sequoia I bought a few years ago for service . I bought another Tundra while up there and went to pick it up today ….and the frame is wasted :))).

[@5150mxVW]

And yes I still bought it 🤣

[@jeffbannon1345]

First, as always, another awesome video. As I watched today though, I wondered, why… why do I watch? I then looked around my shop, noted my projects that need work, and realized what it was: catharsis. I realized no matter how much my projects frustrate me; no matter how much rust or metal work that is needed, there is alway something way worse. And my KZbin hero Jason will always (ALWAYS) find it; and he will almost always buy it. My projects suddenly look better; there is hope! 😂 All joking aside, Keep em’ coming!

[@mikescudder4621]

Nice one... some cool stuff in there! I thought you might have given up on this bus...

[@TheFurriestOne]

Holy cow, the mother-lode of vintage VW spare parts! Oh hey, sweet saw-blades! 1:44 A good base for a lamp? XD Oh hey, a little old Briggs, neat! I'd totally try to restore some of those old radios... Got all the wire in there you need to rewire that bus! 20:06 Is that a meter, or part of an antique gas pump? Man, need to have Mustie go over all this footage to pick out the goods! What a treasure-trove! Find some strong scrap-metal and chain/bolt/etc the front wheels to the rears, then pull it out as a unit?

[@plymouths1]

I don't know what's more interesting, the bus or what's in it

[@danoneill2846]

big job !!!!!!!!

Yes , getting there

[@metoon3092]

Another good video. Truly. at 10:57, the vw manual, you should take it home and place it on the coffee table, see what the wife has to say.🤣😂

[@65bugnut]

Clearly a man of taste and style owned that van, as evidenced by the old Schlitz case. I excepted to see a squirrel come flying out of the back when you started unloading the van.

[@5150mxVW]

:), that would of been ok , or a possum

[@vwcoco]

Some goodies in there Jason . Mad how much stuff we accumulate by just purchasing a Vw and having spares with it . Hope you can save this one . Good luck in pulling it out

[@1967250s]

Well, I've seen worse, but not by much. And there are plenty of repair sections, chassis pieces, etc, available to fix it all up. The Finns/Norwegians, have done some amazing jobs; complete rebuilds of the chassis up. 👍👍👍

[@torenyrud7567]

the two stones are probably the hand brake)))

[@geodun]

That rubbing compound will be handy. A bit of rubbing and that thing will look like new.

[@5150mxVW]

yes, get that blue off down to OG paint :)

[@thomashawkins9757]

My dad and I watched Heraldo open that really big empty space years ago(Al Capones Vault) . What a disappointment. That was 2 hours lost forever.

[@ericwolff2153]

Great day for VW vids. Started the day with Musty1 reviving a 74 Thing and end with 5150mx picking a 60 Bus for vintage parts! Can’t wait to see if you are going to be able to keep it in one piece.

[@Gerk8]

What a treasure hunt! The Phillips 66 can and the Schlitz box are cool too.

[@dannyfoust3123]

It looks to be a parts store on wheels. Jeez, hope you beat the storm, but then again where's the chain! Really looking forward to seeing that Vw bus rolling again. Good luck/ love the adventure!

[@kennethmello5353]

I saw you take out a pressure regulator for two propane tanks. You tossed it into the scrap metal pile. I bet that goes with that bus you should retrieve it because you’re probably going to want it later.

[@philipeaton3102]

some cool vw parts is there a motor in it hope it comes ok after all you have to get it home now look forward to the next video

[@CorollaMAD97]

I bet you couldn't sleep after seeing it the first time even though its toasted lol

[@pstreetgarage7304]

In this episode, Josh reminds me of Rusty from Christmas Vacation when Clark is putting up the lights 😂

[@kevin34ct]

This property looks like the one near me. I don't think he has any cars though. Lots of heavy machinery though. Old steam shovels, larger trucks, but I've never walked onto the property to see what else is in there.

[@Wiltshire-observer]

I can see now Jason, why you couldn’t jack it up !. There must be more weight in parts and junk inside the bus, than the bus actually weighs empty. The conversion is an interesting one. I’ve not seen that side cupboard installed before, over the side window. Good luck with the removal of the bus. It will find a home I’m sure. Plenty of dedicated restorers will take that on.

[@melvinjones3895]

The steering wheel has a spinner on it Musty1 must have worked on it in the past. Give the boat plate to Musty1 he has a boat. You got some good parts in some questionable boxes. But the boy will help you put them in the right order after his fishing trip. Fish on.

[@thevinylcollector3472]

awesome video jason

[@5150mxVW]

Thank you 34’ back soon to finally get it loaded

[@glennandrus8448]

You know, @ 13:49, that piece of equipment in your right hand is part of the Westfalia gas heater equipment, and should probably be saved.

[@tolbaszy8067]

You were walking away at the end of the last video! Did Jen talk you into buying it? You have made fifty cents profit if: you charge ten cents an hour for your labor; contents are included in the buying price; and you paid no more than $200 for the van and the site access fee was $150! Excellent video! Josh is smart to phone his mom for rescue!

[@5150mxVW]

booking another cabin now for this week...I don't even wanna know what this rescue is going to costing me in the end...it did however get Josh and I out on an Mx track for the 1st time and he was shocked when he saw Dad in his ancient race gear for the 1st time haha....some very cool memories out of this one... I will tell you after it get it out this week it's only to get crazier with the Bus rescues ...the next one might take a months lol

[@paulatkinson2849]

Yeah, cardboard boxes don't last unless it's one of those heavy duty boxes that are used to store bananas!

[@bobjohnston8316]

You have a bunch or parts there off a 1948-1952 Ford tractor. I wish that I lived near you because I’d buy them from you. I spotted an oil bath air cleaner, a dipstick and probably other stuff if I would replay the video. The oil bath air cleaner is big and painted dark red. Anything else that is painted dark red is probably Ford tractor, too.

[@5150mxVW]

haha, you have been around long enough to know I don't always go about things the best way. I didn't want to empty it on the property because I didn't want to make more of a mess for the owners. Also I had 2 dirtbikes in the truck so no room to take any of it . I'm heading back up in the Sequoia ( bought 3 years ago and just reg'd it...put 10 miles it , it's ready for the 8 hour trip lol ) to finish the rescue Tuesday

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

@@5150mxVW Okay, I see 🙈 😁 ;-). Yeah, you are absolutely right, Sir. Your rescues have often be... uhm... let's say kind of chaotic. But nevertheless always kind of successful in the end. 2) Right in the beginning of the last/newest Mustie1 video I totally expected that it's you pushing the VW 181 around. With such a car pushing expert at hand (even having the fitting t-shirts), I guessed that M1 gave you a call to help him. 😁 ;-) Thanks for replying, I always and totally appreciate it very much. I really missed your answers but maybe you simply cannot afford to take the time any longer. The channel grew quite a lot (congrats by the way). Of course I'm eagerly looking forward to watch the next video. Sincerely yours.
