That's a 51 Samba found in Greece. There is a thread on the find and return, I believe to the UK in the Barndoor section.

Noticed this in the local paper, but couldn't get the URL & looked elsewhere... Sort of a local car museum in GA, with lots of classics in similar states of decay: Old Car City.

About 15 years ago I stopped to ask about a fairly solid/complete Beetle sitting beside an old guy's garage. He said it wasn't for sale, he was going to fix it.
Last week, a friend of mine purchased the same property.

Damn...pretty far gone. But that's actually pre-56. (Door jams, ribbed doors, rear apron with no factory exhaust cut outs, earlier heater vents and earlier rear fenders.) |

I wish I could get a vehicle like that.. You guys say its far gone but I could put it back onto the road.. Yes I may have to use aftermarket parts, but with that old style steel alot of it could be worked with.

There's only a handful of '53s around compared to later ovals. It's certainly worth getting.

Right!
While I applaud there effort in restoring it, sometime you have to accept you screwed up and bought a bad car, part it out and take your lumps.
I could possibly see the time and effort being put into a split or something rare but that poor body needs to put out of it's misery.

It says in the text that they specifically found a resto candidate that was "too far gone" in order to show their customers what was possible.
