This striking 1970 Volkswagen Beetle, hailing from El Paso, Texas, has been transformed into a rugged Baja Bug under previous ownership. Its most distinctive feature is the powerful J35 Honda 3.5-liter V6 engine, which replaces the original air-cooled flat-four and is managed by a standalone system for optimal performance. This engine breathes through two UMP centrifugal air filters and exhales via Tom Face headers. For safety and off-road capability, a roll cage has been installed to tie into the front and rear long travel suspensions, widened for better articulation over challenging terrains. Despite its extreme transformation, this Beetle retains its classic charm with its original styling cues, drawing enthusiasts' attention, as evident from its currently active status and over $7,000 worth of bids on Bring a Trailer, an online platform dedicated to collector car auctions.
