A Volkswagen frame inside a tree

I came across this in the woods and thought it was really cool. I know its a VW, but id love to know more about it.

Seven digits on a chassis, must be around 1956. Before the August 1964, they had 7 digits, 1965-1969 - 9 digits, after 1969 - 10. More info about Beetle VINs here https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/bugchassisdating.php

Damn, what this chassis used to be would actually be worth quite a bit nowadays

Not for sale, I'm gonna restore it one day.

Well that’s a trip to the past. New OP has better photos though.

Oh wow thats crazy

Yea, I got it last time. I was wondering if you were actually there. As somebody who has had a number of bugs, I can telll you that it actually has some decent parts on it. Even if the transmission isn't good, it can save somebody a $100 core charge. The front beam is worth it to somebody. Good German drums can be of value. Hell, some goober can potentially use the pan and its respective VIN as a Manx base.

Left hand drive deluxe beetle. Like Benz, VW uses the first three numbers on a part for chassis ID

There is an abandoned mine in the black hills of South Dakota with something similar to this I’ll have to get back out there when I go digging for quartz in that area
