Offered at $16,000, this Baja-Style 1975 Volkswagen Beetle comes with 77,000 miles on the chassis and about 15,000 miles on a rebuilt 1835cc engine. Located in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, this Bug has lived its entire life in a dry, salt-free climate and has been refurbished into a classic Class 5-inspired Baja configuration. With a 091A Bus transmission, IRS suspension, roll bar, and off-road tires, this car is prepped for the desert and ready for import.
  • Baja-Style Heritage: Baja Bugs emerged in the late 1960s as stripped-down, modified Beetles engineered to handle the punishing terrain of the Baja California Peninsula. Lightweight, rear-engined, and simple to maintain, they became an icon of desert racing and off-road adventure.
  • Powertrain: This example runs a 1835cc engine with a PICT-34 carburetor, paired with a robust 091A Bus transmission and IRS suspension for improved durability and traction in rugged environments.
  • Exterior & Interior Features: Outfitted with 235/75 R15 rear tires and 185/65 R15 fronts, a roll bar, and classic Class 5-style trim, this Beetle blends vintage style with proven off-road modifications. The stripped interior underscores its utilitarian desert-bug identity.
  • Ownership & Title: Showing 77,000 miles on the chassis and about 15,000 miles on the rebuilt motor, this Beetle has spent its entire life in Baja Sur, Mexico. Dry, salt-free conditions have preserved its body and components, and the car is offered with clear documentation and ready for import.

With its durability, simplicity, and desert pedigree, this Beetle is ready to continue its legacy stateside.
