Why \"Baja\"? Well, the Baja California Peninsula in northwest Mexico is home to the Mexican 1000 off-road race. The Baja Bugs were developed in the late 1960s as a homemade alternative to the fiberglass-bodied Meyers Manx beach buggies of the era that excelled in the sandy, hilly terrain. To make a Baja Bug, you take a stock VW Beetle, chopped off the front and back portions of the car at an angle, add fill-in panels, oversized trim and fenders, tune the exposed engine and put on a set of wide balloon or paddle-tread tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis casting has also gone by the name \u003cb\u003eVW Baja\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eVW-Käfer Spezial\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBaja Beetle,\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eVolkswagen Baja Bug\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolkswagen Baja Beetle\u003c\/b\u003e. \"Blazin' Bug\" was featured on the doors from 1985 to 1990 while \"Bug'n Taxi\" was featured on the doors in 1998.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BANKHEAD TOYS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51487775326496,"sku":null,"price":1.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/8056\/7072\/files\/BAJA_BUG_RED_CARD_EXCLUSIVE_J3425.jpg?v=1779291559","url":"https:\/\/bankheadtoys.us\/products\/baja-bug-red-card-edition-walmart-exclusive","provider":"BANKHEAD TOYS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
