With the help of some of our DLK brothers (Ryan and James), we were able to rescue the '60 Rag from the graveyard she was sitting in. Here are some pics of the Rag in the field and of the extraction process...

Good seeing you all yesterday. Congratulations on getting it home! It looks like there is a lot of work ahead of you but another Bug saved is a good thing :dance: . Did you tow it all the way or did you end up puttting it on a trailer to get it home?

As for the stamped numbers, I think they are the body only serial number but not positive.

You're kidding right?! Where did Billy's buddy say he saw this bug? This car was sitting deep way away from sight from the highway...
