OH WOW! I know where that rusty bug was sitting for the longest time when he mentioned in the Pismo Beach area! I got my first VW from there as well! I wish I took more pictures looking back. But the yard was owned by a VW collector he never really restored any of the cars but he had lots of projects. The old man died and left it all to his son Randy and that was his bug that he drove around it was the only one that ran from the yard. He liquidated the entire yard and sold everything including the land. The area is known as "The Mesa" in Arroyo Grande. It overviews all of Oceano Dunes and all the sand goes up there and gets over everything. As well as the sulfur and other crap from the industrial equipment around the area caused the amount of rust you can clearly see. It's incredible though how well all those cars lasted despite how long they sat. I am just amazed that I am seeing a that same VW from that same yard just a few miles away from me. I wish it was still there but now it's a completely different lot. There were ton's of vintage one of a kind VW's there that I wish I had the money to get my hands on. But I am sure they all went to the right home as they were priced very fair.
