Baja-Style 1973 Volkswagen Beetle

This vintage 1973 Volkswagen Beetle, hailing from Costa Mesa, California, is a standout example of the classic car's Baja-style modification trend. Manufactured in the heart of America's West Coast car culture, this iconic beetle has been transformed into a rugged off-roader, echoing the spirit of the legendary Baja 1000 races. Under current ownership dating back to 2018, this Beetle has seen meticulous care, with work including a comprehensive overhaul of its drum brakes and a rebuild of its air-cooled 1.6L flat-four engine, featuring a replacement crankshaft, connecting rods, bearings, seals, flywheel, and clutch assembly. Despite its rugged transformation, the car retains its originality from the outside, with no apparent modifications to the exterior bodywork that gives it away as a Baja Bug.
