Jackstands?  What about 4 years under a chain hoist?  Worth it.

Ehhhh... not really the case, especially with old VW's.  The turn signals indicate a 55-57 oval window, which is a very desirable car, and in the VW world, restoration or originality is NOT a requirement for respect or the cool factor.  That car looks to have decent what seems to be original paint, leave it just as it or polish it up, it works either way.

Drivetrain / motor?  We are talking about one of the easiest car ever made to work on, with VERY strong parts support, and the ability to swap drivetrain's from about 30 years of one of the most produced cars in history.

In other words, an old VW Bug is about the worst example that could be used for that.  Heck, even super rusty bugs are considered cool!

 

I think the timeline is less about the condition of the *car* and more about the drive of the owner.

Drive to the ocean and park your car in it waistline-deep for five or six months of the year.

Yeah, I don't disagree, I just wanted to point out that the vintage VW community is very forgiving, and actually accepting of less that restored or even very ratty vehicles.  Perhaps the most?  I mean, you have the rat rods, but many of those appear to actually be "ratty", more like high dollar restorations someone takes some sandpaper and saltwater to...

I find this thing rather hilarious.  I am not sure if it's meant to make fun of the chopped and lowered thing or just taking it to the extreme:
