The highest bidder will be driving this Bug home!\r\n\r\nThis will be a lot of fun. We've had the opportunity to assist this family on quite a few sales and their vehicles are always high quality.\r\n\r\nThis 1969 VW Baja Bug was purchased as a project car during COVID. Just about 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.\r\n\r\nElectronically, 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.\r\n\r\nMechanically, 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.\r\n\r\nThis VW Baja Bug now has just over 200 break-in miles and is runs great!

Remember this is a NO RESERVE auction, someone is going home with this Baja Bug!\n\nA few reminders if you are interested in bidding:\n\n* Make sure that your credit card is up to-date in the BaT system\n\n* Refresh your browser, to ensure that you are seeing the auction in real-time\n\n* And most importantly, don\u2019t wait until the last second to bid. As you know, BaT resets back to 2 minutes after every bid, to ensure that there is no sniping. We\u2019ve known too many people who have been disappointed because they tried to bid and their internet connection was too slow or the page wasn\u2019t showing real time and they lost out on the car.\n\nSimple solution, bid early and often!
