Does any one what is the last beetle in red posted by Blindmanwatching....well those who know good for them but those who dont know..it is CalledBaja Beetle
While the VW purist would rather die than cut up the perfect shape of a classic VW Beetle, others, more into the modifying scene, arent content with the looks of a standard Beetle. Even the lowslung German lookers with wide wheels and big engine don't quite look scary enough. For these people, the word 'sacred' does not occur in their dictionary! Only one thing will suffice....the Baja bug.
The Baja look is given the name, because it imitates the Baja1000 off road race in Mexicali. This tough race took place in sandy desert-like terrain, and thus the competitors had to have cars that would take the fast pace and the rough ride --- the solution to this was the Baja
The baja beetle was in a way, a cheaper, yet tougher and more practical alternative to the stylish beach buggies.
Instead of buying an entire fibreglass lightweight shell for a buggy, VW enthusiasts were cutting the back fenders of a stock beetle, slipping on some big offroad tyres, and heading for the tracks - and all for a few dollars. Well...nearly!
A baja bug is basically a normal stock beetle body, which has had its fenders replaced with glassfibre panels that are shorter and higher, in order to accomodate bigger wheels and tyres. The Baja look also requires the removal of the front and rear valences, and he replacing of them with glassfibre panels that give greater ground clearance and better engine accesability.
Good Na!
