WTT for toyota truck, 1968 baja bug with about 10K invested

OK, Flew to SoCal and got this bad boy. Had some fun with it now I am ready for something else. I am looking for trades only.

This bug is Street legal and also SCORE Legal meaning you could go race this on the baja 1000 if you wanted to!

you can text me at 918-857-2551

located in Tulsa OK.



It has everything!!!!!
15 Gal Spun Alum fuel cell
Rhino lined the interior floor
Score Legal Roll Cage
rebuilt 1600DP carb with 2bbl webber 40mm carb
mickey Thompson tires and True Aluminum beadlocks ($2000)
Crow 5 point harneses
Type one tranny with beef a diff installed and freshly rebuilt (will cruise 70-75 MPH all day long)
Baja Suspension seats on original VW sliders so the seat still slide forward and backwards.
MUCH MUCH MORE.
I am getting over 20mpg in it right now.
it was a street bug only 6 months ago so you know it has not been abused to death.

I would like to trade it on a tacoma, cruiser, t100 , 4 runner etc, just looking fr something to start an expo rig out of and there is not enough room in the bug lol.

cash price is $6500
these pictures show the old motor. it has a different motor in it now I can send pics of it to anyone interested.





here is the motor that is currently in it.

 

come on operation "win the lottery!"

 

where's the turbo in the first 2pics????

 

gone that motor produced nothing but problems for me. now it starts every time and gets me where I am going every time.

Honestly if I was going to keep it I would do the ecotec conversion. under about $1,200 depending on how handy you are. and puts 140ho to the rear wheels with a fuel injected motor.

Not who has a toyota to trade?

 

Damn, that's cool...........Not cool enough to trade my truck for tho.

 

Cmon, someone needs this beast of a bug!

 

Bump for a great EMP proof bug out vehicle. Cmon guys this is like the safest thing you could put one of your kids thats getting ready to start driving in. roll cage, 5pt harness', beard racing seats, I would have loved for this to have been my first vehicle.

 

if it still had the turbo set-up it would be gone!!!!

 

That thing is clean

 

If you left the turbo motor then you would have a trade,but a 1600 DP if i had that it would not be for fuel mileage it would be for fun.

 

The turbo motor never ran correctly. The reason I got this is for fun but not too fun when it wouldn't start. Since I put this motor in (which I dont beleive is a 1600 I think it is a 17xx" it has never failed me. starts every time now.

 

IIRC, no such thing as a 17xx.

Did a build myself with the 1600. Crapy stock engine . We hated it so we sold it. The buyer (who is now a good friend of mine) had the engine rebuild by Kawell Racing. Naturally aspired, the built engine put out 120hp. On a 1600lb car, that was pretty fun .

Here is the site if anyone is interested:

I wanna 17xx. Heck, one more x and you've got one hell of a good ride! Although she might be a little young...

A well built 1776 can lead to a good ride as well...

Any luck with the sale?

 

Yes there is, It is a 1776

You can build almost any size VW motor based on stroke and bore you chose. but the 1776 is one of the more popular.

 

Have a lot of interest it probably is going to boil down to who pulls the trigger from only photos and has me ship it to them first. Also have some really good trade offers locally was well. I am going to miss it and really wish I could keep it and put an ecotec in it, but time and money is limiting right now.

Interesting. Wish I knew this ~10 years back. It was a kick ass build but we just couldnt get over the engine.

Yeah this is a very nice build. Any gear head would love to get their hands on this Im sure. I wouldnt trade my truck but if I was in Cali I would def look into this seriously. Such an easy car to build and so much fun potential .

GLWS.

 

do u still have the turbo set up????
