most of these cars are left hand drive, and Europe VW``s are right hand drive. Must have a lot of VW`s that were made in America.

[@swisslp7811]

I just got in contact with the owner of the cars! He has a special museum for wrecked and special looking, artsy volkswagen from the 50s to the 80s. The cars in there are just leftover part cars or cars he couldn‘t show off in the museum due to not having enough space.

[@jepolch]

Thanks, Bob! This brings back memories of my first car, a 1960 VW bug that was brought to the States from Germany by a US soldier. It didn't have a gas gauge. You drove til you ran out of gas. There was a pedal on the firewall that you turned with your foot giving you another gallon of gas to get to the gas station.

[@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath]

[@grandtourerpt]

I've seen a few pictures from the museum these cars supposedly belong to. There's a license plate there from 96. Was wondering if maybe one of the late F. Pardal creations made it's way to the museum.

First I thought "OMG", but if you have a closer look you realise that every single car is rotten and rusty and not only moldy 🫣 But I have one single question: WHY? Why are these cars here? Many of them were already in a bad condition at the moment of storage I think (with many kilometers etc.). But as always a great Video mate! ❤

[@Dinkum_Aussie]

I can’t believe how much mould has grown on all the leather and rubber ! Thanks Bob 😎👍

[@inspectordesigns]

Honestly, with the right conditions, it can happen in a month (maybe sooner). I have a newer car that sat with a car cover for a month in a shady spot without sun. The climate where I live is pretty humid, and it only took one month for my entire interior to be covered in mold. I came to find I had a leak, and some water was resting inside the vehicle. The humidity and the stagnant water made a costly and time-consuming clean-up job.

[@Vipuluk07]

It's heart breaking to see these gems in this condition.

[@olikat8]

Last 2 cars I've gotten were old police cars. One was free, the other was an estate auction purchase for $354.20 after taxes. One is being re-done as a 'resto-mod,' the other is being turned into a shop vehicle for product development & promotion

[@nickwilkinson7728]

Probably roll in there or pushed cars Will roll without running

[@peterduxbury927]

It will be a lot harder to remove them, as the Brakes sieze-up in time. That will happen quickly in the worst-possible environment where no moving air can ever dry these vehicles.

Whatever their plan was for storing these cars there, they didnt think it through. Not only are they wasting away, the place is unsecured and obviously not a secret anymore, so they get ransacked as well. At least we got to see them before its too late.

Have you tryed to get a ( GPRS ) of where you are to the end of then you find the cars just to see where you are on a map , it mite have a other entrance where it is blocked up wall because if it is used for storage it mite come out in a village.

[@bhupeshjain1680]

😢 💔 For a Mechanical engineer like me, This is so heart breaking, VW bastard is always ignorant towards history after owning so many brands, with so much money in bank, reviving these cars should be no problem to big company like Volkswagen. Atleast there are millions of people out there who would want to own these cars, repair them themselves or need spare parts from these vehicles when company already said spart parts manufacturing aren't available anymore. This is heart crying 😭.

That was a cool underground adventure! If I had access to a mine 30 years ago where I could store VW's, I would currently have a bigger storage issue! Mining for VW's is a thing now.

Awesome explore Bob! It is weird to see abandoned vehicles. Especially when they are in decent condition. Generally people stay attached to their car until they sell it or trade it in.

[@gustavocamargo9340]

I've always really liked WV vehicles, my first car was a 1974 Passat, the first model in Brazil, then I had a 1986 Parati, followed by a 1989 Santana Quantum 2.0 GLS, followed by a 2002 Glof 2.0 which was just a problem, a Paraty GIII year 2002 and finally a Gol G5 1.6 one of the worst engines because with the thin segment rings it passed combustion residues that contaminated the lubricating oil and ended up clogging the pump. Today I'm happy with a Mitsubishi L200 diesel pick-up, but my wife has a 2003 Saveiro (pick-up with trunk) for transporting bathing and grooming animals.
