| Volkswagen Beetle Baja 1977 |
Baja Bugs originated in Southern California in the late 1960s as an inexpensive answer to the successful Volkswagen-based dune buggies of the mid-1960s. The first fibreglass Baja kit (bug-eye kit) was not introduced until 1969. In the early days before fibreglass body panels became available, enthusiast and racers simply made their own modification to both the body and mechanics of a stock VW to develop a machine suited to harsh, off-road environments. The metal bumpers and front and rear aprons of the car would be partially cut away to allow more for ground clearance and suspension travel whilst also leaving the engine totally exposed to aid cooling. A tubular steel cage front and rear bumper is fitted to the body and floor pan for protection of engine and occupants.
