Baja Bug for sale! $1000
Secoh - March 29th, 2005 at 04:55 PM

I have replaced my Baja with a buggy! I have no room for the new car so the baja has to go!


Clicky! (Dialup beware)

*NOTE* the wheels and tyres on it as it is up for sale are the widened stockos as per the front ones in the picture. The sunraysiers are going on the buggy.

The good:

'68 model beetle
1600cc Type 3 motor with twin carbs, goes great! very reliable,
Disc brake ball joint front end, swinger rear.
type 1 tinware conversion,
mild cam,
New clutch!
New front pads,
Brand new tyres all round,
Widened rims,
Hyundai yellow paint, gets lots of apreciative looks!
Rego until May
Clutch tube has been repaired,
Comes with a spare 1500 single port motor in good condition except for the clutch.
Plenty of spares, pick what you want.

The not so good:

It needs repair to the sill for rego. The replacement panels are pretty cheap from Classic Pacific though, support AVD members!
Shockies are a bit old, I think one has leaked, it really needs new back ones at least..
Needs a handbrake adjustment.
Has a CD player but it's not hooked up (why bother when you have twin carbs to listen to hehe)



The Price! Now on ebay for $1000



Car is in Newcastle,
my mobile is 0412 058 170

Secoh - March 30th, 2005 at 03:42 PM

it's now on ebay... hopefully it sells ok so I can afford to enjoy my new buggy!


Andy42 - March 30th, 2005 at 06:01 PM

Hmmm someone must want it to use as a buggy base and through the body away, :vader


Secoh - March 31st, 2005 at 12:11 AM

it'd be ideal for that! the pan is durned close to immaculate!

I picked up the buggy tonight. Looks good but for a few annoying things, and the drive home in the cold rain was NOT fun, I think the carby was icing up, it was kicking, missing and bucking like a gaffed tuna. Not fun at all, took ages to drive the length of the F3 at 60kph :(

Well it didn't sell on ebay so I have put it on there for a grand.

I will sell the spare 1500 single port motor (good condition) and all the spares separately if anyone wants anything. If it doesn't sell this time it's getting wrecked.

A mate of mine is just about to get his license back, and has been helping me with my car....he wants a baja....this is the yellow one right. Please call me on 0416 115 993 and I will try and call him now!

Secoh - April 9th, 2005 at 05:34 PM

yep it's the yellow one, but the sills are rotted out (the only major problem with the car).

I got your call but thought you said 113 LOL oops!


Boozer - April 9th, 2005 at 06:36 PM

Damn! thats a bargain! if it was up here i'd consider buying it.


MR930 - April 9th, 2005 at 06:36 PM

Can't see it on ebay


bajachris88 - April 9th, 2005 at 07:06 PM

That is a champion baja.

I'm looking for a vw beetle 1500 floorpan, and from the year of make of your baja ('68), that appears to be the right floorpan.

However, If only I had the cash and the space, I would buy it. At the earliest, it would be Christmas or late January before I have a chance at purchasing it. Sorry.

But if I could, I would.

If I did have opportunity, is it possible to get it shipped to south-east queensland from New castle. (It would probably cost more than the car though)

that photo makes an awesome wallpaper.

Your car is now set on my desktop. Certainly beautiful.


bajabug69 - April 9th, 2005 at 09:58 PM

Noooooooo not the buggy :P


Secoh - April 10th, 2005 at 09:25 AM

shame it's looking like it's going to be dismantled to be sold as parts and the shell cut up with an axe! Someone better buy it this time!

I have some type 3 tinware and the 1500cc single port on ebay now too.

Well, if you don't want the baja to be sold as parts, you can give it to me for free if you want. lol

Secoh - April 10th, 2005 at 10:41 AM

you're a funny guy. Got a sister? I might consider a trade :P


bajachris88 - April 10th, 2005 at 02:06 PM

na, sorry, only 3 brothers.


bajachris88 - April 10th, 2005 at 02:18 PM

But oh GOD, that would be mad to own as my 1st car.


Secoh - April 14th, 2005 at 02:41 PM

Sold, and to someone from these forums apparently! Hope the new owner has as much fun with it as I have!
