I've always wanted to get one, or a type 181, and to swap in an aircooled flat 6

Have you ever heard of the factory Baja Bug? My BIL bought one new around 1971-2. They were a special edition with gun metal gray paint, special wheels, and a plaque on the dash. The body was just like all other bugs, which led me to question why they called it the baja bug. It was, however, a pretty good looking bug. I don't know how many they made, but they are so obscure that I couldn't even find one in my 30 second google search. One came up on a Mecum Auction last year and I had a good laugh when the commentators remarked on how nicely it was modified.

Okay, I found a pic. This one has the optional side striping and fog lights.

I'm seriously tempted to get this (or one like it) and swap all the bits from the Lot Lizard into it to make it street legal.

In reply to JThw8:

I was thinking of you when I found the ad!

Went to look at it, extensive rot in the frame head ! ! ! Will need the body removed and the frame head replaced to be usable.

Well worth it for parts at that price however.
