Anytime a vehicle hasn't run in five years your going to have some problems unless it was stored correctly (Fuel Drained etc...) The good news is you will be able to get it running again. I've brought a beetle back from the dead before and I'm sure you can too - it will just take time and $. Once you have gone through the beetle fixing whatever is broken you will probably know it better than any car you have ever owned. Don't get frustrated, there will be people here you can reach out to for advice!

So, what about a car that was put into a garage in 1984, 1/2 tank of gas in it, oil in it, an open carbeurator, and no exhuast on it?
A volksie thanks,
