Post by: bullitt on November 23, 2006, 23:51:08 pm
i'm lookin for pictures of an old baja bug (i think the first appeared in 1968 on dune buggies and hot vws).

maybe based on a white oval. car was done before fiberglass kit. so nose is completely open and headlight are fixed on the suspensions tube.

side windows have a black sorround with buttons to clamp plastic window in case of rain

gates commando tyres on cragar (??) alloys with big oval holes.

chrome stinger.

this is what i can remember ( maybe not all things are sure)

i saw a picture of this car some years ago and was very impressed from its originality.

any other pic of very ol baja bug will be great. ty guys.
