This Volkswagen looks fairly solid at first glance, but when you look underneath, you realize that it sits on blocks. Forget about taking it for a spin. But while the car might be the first thing drawing your attention in this image, take a moment to see what’s behind, at all those signs that have been hung up behind it. A real trip through history.

A shredded interior, a hole in the roof, a finished rear suspension, a dead paint job. Perfect for the dedicated fixer-upper!

This is a more interesting model that deserves to be restored, because its market value - who knows quite why - is still very high. And in the case of this model, the bodywork is still salvageable.
