The Dirty Harry movies of the 70s are peppered with classic air-cooled Volkswagens. Much to my surprise they trashed a split bus in the 1973 film Magnum Force. I presume it was a write off, the poor thing is catapulted off screen right after this frame as Harry Calahagn is being chased through a shipyard.

Mind you in 1973 a rust free split in California was probably almost worthless...
