1969 VW Baja Bug

THE MODEL

​

The 1969 model year was one of the last years of the "classic" Beetle design.  As iconic as it gets, these Bugs need know introduction!

​

THIS CAR

 

This 1969 VW Baja Bug was purchased as a project car during COVID. Everything has been touched on it.

 

The Bug was stripped down to a bare shell and new OEM floor pans were installed along with a heavy duty custom rear shelf that supports the integrated rollbar. A custom made rear wing protects the engine and finishes off the baja look. The body was then painted in a Charcoal Gray Raptor truck liner paint inside and out before replacing the windows and using new seals. New seats and four point harnesses added along with a fire extinguisher.

 

Electronically, a new wiring harness was sourced with an auxiliary switch panel and circuit breakers, finished off with a marine-grade cutoff switch. New LED lights front and rear were added along with a light bar on the front push bar. Finally, a new Interstate battery was acquired to power everything.

 

Mechanically, a fresh hot 1776 4-cylinder engine was sourced, the original transmission gone through and all bushings were replaced. Class 11 Bilstein Reservoir Shocks were added along with a Chevy bolt pattern adaptor that allowed the use of Nascar Truck-style wheels and new Federal MT tires. This VW Baja Bug now has just over 200 break-in miles and is runs great! It's being sold to fund the next project!
