Story:

Here is another project we put on our plate, a 1970 Original Numbers Matching Yukon Yellow Convertible Beetle.  A fella in upstate NY called me to come get his bug that has been with his family since the early 80s.  Now I have been hesitant to take on resto projects after 1968 due to the fact that their value has not increased all that much in the past.  But since they are now approaching the 50 year old line, the market could start making a change for the better.  I plan on getting to work on this bug in 2018, stay tuned for the progress here.
