I Found a Filthy VW Parked Under a Tree for the Past 24 YEARS & Gave it a Detail Restoration

[@DetailDane]

Thanks For Watching! 👀🙌 What is Your Favorite Part of These Barn Finds?!

[@PatrickCookson]

I like seeing you guys breathe new life into these cars that most people just strip down for their parts, or worse yet, send to the scrap yard. Many of them were still being driven before being parked. With some additional "love," these cars can be put back on the road again. As a side note, in the mid 1970s, my neighbors were a newly married couple who bought a new wagon like this, light blue. I always these little V-dubs! Great job and videos. Please keep them coming.

[@petestaint8312]

You are a magician! Awesome.

I love this video! I had a 73 Square Back in that same Saturn Yellow with black interior. I bought it in 1984 in San Jose, CA, with about 170K miles, for $1,200. I drove that thing from Salt Lake City to San Jose and back at least ten times. By 1993, it had nearly 300,000 miles on it when it finally gave up the ghost. Second best car I ever owned, next to my 1997 Toyota Camry - 340K miles and still going.

My Dad had the TL-Version.......it wasn't a small car with two Trunks....

[@richardmessenger9474]

I had one of those in Germany in 75..it was a great car...it had a winter heater where you could set a clock and a petrol heater would come on and warm out the car..never had to de ice it of remove the snow from it...straight out of my house start up and off to work whilst everyone else was scraping the ice off...👍👍

[@transittown7891]

It’s so great to see classic cars be found in barns and then taken to be restored to like brand new. Much better than throwing them away

[@LJulie15]

Appreciate you leaving the normal noises in the video and not covering it with horrible music

[@LJulie15]

Never mind I watched more through and you put music in it 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

Had 1971 VW Square Back. Loved that car. It was my first car at 16.

[@luckyb4541]

me too at 16 i had a 65 notchback and a 66 squareback. blew both engines. you have to check the oil

[@WDDetailing]

Dane with the subtle PURO shoutout :o This thing was so weird to see at first but turned out so good

[@DetailDane]

Gotta support my Homies 💪 I appreciate it! 🙏

[@JJfromPhilly67]

What a great find and a great transformation. She is a beautiful car and you brought her looks back from underneath the grime. Goid luck to the owner in restoring the old car. Pity she is an automatic.

[@beerybill]

I had one of these for several years. Ran OK but the Western Pennsylvania Winter weather and road salt resulted in way too much rust out.

[@kapitan517]

Very nice job with the detailing, and a good find of this quite rare car. I loved the interior shots, they brought back a flood of memories from when I was a wee lad. I stil have the bonnet badge from my dad's beige VW station wagon. It was a great winter car in northern Norway; great traction with the engine over the rear wheels. Sadly it just rusted to pieces from salt and snow, which I think is an important reason there's so few left today. I hope yours finds a good home!

[@babalui66]

I used to work for a car dealership and we'd occasionally get an older Volvo in. They have a unique smell to them. Same with the older Saabs. I can almost smell the Volve watching this.

[@garrymelnyk8084]

I've never seen a panel van like this before. Definitely worth saving and showing.

[@patrickbryant5224]

Great job! Owner should be impressed.

[@leslieclanton348]

You have a diamond in the rough, this car looks pretty solid and you have alot to work with,hope we get to see this back on the road real soon !!!!

[@alejandrodoorne3168]

Ficou lindo o carro assim com essas marcas do tempo muito bom parabéns.

[@marka5909]

Really loving the car

[@jimbower9268]

I had a 68 Squareback that I bought from a friend in 78. We sold it back to him when we bought a new car for my wife, and I wish I had that squareback right now.

[@7GeeooH7]

So AMAZING and satisfying to watch! Super cool car! 😎👍🏻

[@weshipitjamaica4354]

Nice. I had a fastback version. Brings back memories

[@silerssales]

Loving it! The pressure washing with the yellow paint was super satisfying!

[@DetailDane]

Thanks Ryan, I appreciate it! 🙏

[@jeffthevideoguy23]

I love those! And the hatchback. I wanna get one and convert it to electric.

[@markdavismiclat7758]

From phillipines watching your videos sir

[@krishansen281]

Yes ❤❤

[@mattpipes5106]

You really brought the shine back! I think the patina’d panel van look is really cool… I’m sure there is a horde of air cooled VW rat rod enthusiasts descending on the owner as I type this… I hope the car has a second life!

[@MJL9291]

Amazing job Dane! It's nice to see these cars getting some long overdue TLC lol. Keep up the good work, greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@MemoBar100]

Oh I'd love to find a car like that!!! It's a dream... Cheers from Chile.

[@DetailDane]

I appreciate you watching! 🙏 it is a very cool car 🚘💕

Great stuff Dane!

Great, Dane?

[@barryhunt5357]

Nice car !!!

[@jimhagerman8574]

Great work. Need to get over to have my truck detailed.

[@DetailDane]

Appreciate it! 🙌 Booking Up Fast! 📅

[@walter68bug98]

Type3s have basically a bug engine but there are differences.type3 cases had oil fill towards bottom of case bugs didn’t.plus the cooling system is different.bugs had “upright” cooling with the crank pulley turning the cooling fan on a type3 it’s a “pancake” so the fan is driven off the crank

[@tt-rs1457]

And it will also easily fit a Typ 4 engine in there......

[@peterhoulis1184]

This is my favourite vw and the kombi

[@juliangasca6640]

cool ride

[@nicolameneghetti834]

Wow ❤❤❤

[@donsmith8614]

I like the rare marathon/baja wheels , too bad he doesn't have the center caps. I've got a set on my 68 karmann ghia.

[@DetailDane]

He use to have some of those cars too I'm sure somewhere with the other cars, and buggys there are laying around!

[@GrafsGarage3]

Couldnt agree more Don! Just restored a set of those wheels!

[@sneaks01]

Amazing! Bro.. I love your channel! Great work!!😊

[@DetailDane]

Thanks Man I Appreciate It 🙏

[@NickManCuso59]

Wish VW still made those !

[@axelackens2157]

This is a really rare car even here in Germany where he comes from. Most of them were 4 seat cars with 3 Windows at each side. (station wagon?)

[@loufrank2518]

awesome job

[@zulkiflymohamed-wu4rh]

keep it comin' bro😊

[@pedrodones6038]

We had of them in the early 80's

[@kaptainnorton3617]

It was one of my first dream-car! Glad that you rescued it. Greetings from France

[@DetailDane]

Appreciate It & Thanks For Watching! 🙌

[@thomashayes3417]

What I want to know is - who is playing guitar at about 8:45 into the video? Mighty good guitar playing!

[@holger5555]

Nice old VW 1600 Variant, but he need his big bumper back.

[@davidnelson6893]

Yes those cars are cool Peace out

[@rodsalvage7121]

These were a really nice car. Pity it was ruined by welding on panels over the rear windows.

[@johnandrews3568]

Man I could smell the horsehair interior from here.

[@chuckclark9464]

👍👍👍👍👍🤜🤛 I do have a question do are the windows still in the back or did they pull those out and then put the steel around it because personally I’d like to get a car like that and get the metal pulled off of it that they put on there and get the windows put back in and then have it redone from top the bottom and put a sleeper engine in it, but that’s just meso you can answer the question I’d appreciate it

[@momohirooka3864]

I like watching your video it’s so satisfying when you clean the car do you use your product from WD detailing?

[@DetailDane]

Thanks I appreciate it! I do! I use Puro 🔥 you can buy it off their website 10% Off using Code - Dane10

[@tiade5762]

Merecia uma complete restoration (in english, digamos assim).

[@philleasthouse3791]

This vehicle was sold as a Model 412 in the rest of the world, debuing in Aug 1972.

[@philleasthouse3791]

Correction - as a Type 3 it started production in 1962. Ooops!😊

[@robbicu]

When you say Northern Michigan, do you mean the UP, or just the northern part of the mitten?

[@makas23g]

Why didn't you make 3 Shorts videos with This!?

[@BillyT531]

You could have saved yourself some time just power washing those carpet, using a squeegee, THEN extracting and air dry.

[@DetailDane]

I did pretty much all that 😂 Carpet was briddle though so I kept distance with pressure washer and no Squeegee didn't wanna tear it. But I like your thinking 👍

[@sietse9920]

Hmmmm, clean and polish a car before even knowing if it runs…. 🤔 And then: 24 yrs parked outside, a 1972 VW known for it’s ability to rust… 🤔🤔🤔

T-Rust me, i'm a Volkswagen

Subaru engine swap 😅

why wash it? get it running.....

Why wash it? Have you not watched his other videos? He's DETAIL Dane, not mechanic Dane, lol.

[@russriley3005]

@@shawnoandrew you see, I'm a carpenter and I don't put carpet on the floors before I build the roof. what's the point in cleaning a car that won't run no matter how clean it is.

Increase your vocal audio, decrease cleaning audio

Y bother with that car 😢😢

Because its extremely rare and valuable .. in germany you can ask alot of money for it ..

It's a waste of time to wash a car that needs a new paint job. And it has rust all over the car.

Sandpaper works best on clean surfaces 👍

Not a big job to put windows back in and retore it to a more usable state.
