Old VW Bus -1958 VW Bus Find - Part 1, found in NM desert - rare volkswagen discovery!

Description

I found this impossibly located old 1958 vw bus with safari windows that had been hidden away in the secluded desert of NM for over 30 years (since 1978). I bought it from a cool old hippie named Chris (aka santa) who owned the land. He and his wide toured Canada and the States in the 70s in "Glinda" the majic bus. My friend Andrew who shot this video drove us there in his vw '69 single cab. We made it 99% of the way but eventually got stuck in a ravine (no roads). This find is a genuine early '58 deluxe with original safari windows and a crank hole in the apron (found it inside). Someone had changed the taillights to larger in the past but the dash, etc is a museum piece. (update: I have since fixed them back to original.) I have been looking for a rare old early split window deluxe vw bus like this since I sold my '60 23 window. The few remaining unrestored really old VW buses left in the world are extremely scare with greatly increasing popularity and value thus getting nearly impossible to locate in the raw like this. What is left of this time piece was preserved only due to it being located in one of the most inaccessibly dry and desolate places on Earth. I am going to attempt a dangerous recovery tomorrow with a 4x4 and electric winches thru the passes after I mount the wheels. Due to steep jagged crumbling terrain and a snake pass it will be very difficult to get out and could tumble down gulleys, etc. Whatever happens you will see it here as we will record and <b>...</b>
