A Volkswagen Graveyard

 

Let’s have a moment of silence.

Volkswagen Heaven, or Hell



I have seen too many of these car graveyards (shedding a tear), and many of them are almost exclusively VW’s. Why is this? There really is no shortage of Beetles for restoration projects.

    I own a 1974 Super Beetle that I am in the process of restoring. I came across your site to find it very interesting. And, I was interested in finding the location the the VW grave yard.

    I am looking to purchase original bumpers for the beetle and possible other things if need so.

    I would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter. Thank you very much.

    Nancy, the graveyard in the post here was in Virginia, but I’ve seen them here in Ohio too. In fact, I think that every state I’ve been in has had a VW graveyard. I couldn’t really tell you where to look, other than to just keep your eyes open. Usually these places on on the highway, and look deserted.

    Is there 1 in California, near LA?

  5. Thing Fan says:

    I’m sure there is, but I couldn’t be positive. I bet there is one of these graveyards in every state in America, and probably almost every country of the world. I’ve even seen places like the Beetle Graveyard in Jamaica.

    Hello, does anyone know the name and the owner of the one in Southern Ohio??? It’s right past Columbus???

    If anyone happens to know…please email me back at CuteZeta1920@yahoo.com….thanks in advance.

    Deanna, I’m thinking you’re talking about the VW graveyard at The Beetle Barn. My brother posted something about it about a year ago when we both went to take a look and buy some stuff there.

    He also has parts for most Beetles, but no Things unfortunately.

    “The dan” there is a small mountain town in Colorado called ward, that might be a good start there are many abandoned cars i saw a few beetles there as well. Just giving ideas.

    I’m currently hunting for a classic Beetle and will hopefully be getting one soon! It would be great to know where i can find a VW graveyard in Kansas or close to it. Please, feel free to email me if you have any ideas or suggestions at where to look. my email is Thediggenstien@gmail.com.

    Thanks, Russ.

    When I was a kid, I still remember that the first car of our family was a volkswagen. This is the reason why this car has a special place in my heart.
