1962 Volkswagen Beetle Baja

Ground Up Custom Complete Restoration. This project has been kicking around my restoration garage for over 8 years now, just finished. I have over 40 years restoration experience, this build is second to none. Please check out the highlights listed below, no expense was spared. I have over $20,000 worth of parts invested in this project with documentation and receipts.

Highlights of this 1962 Baja Bug Custom RestoMod include the following:

BODY & INTERIOR
- Paint is Raptor Bedliner Tinted Carribean Blue. Paint was done correct inside and out with all interior, mechanicals, glass, rubber etc removed first. Body was straight and rust free to start. This bug still has its original floor pans!
- All new German rubber throughout including Door seals, Window seals, Hood seals etc.
- Interior started with three layers of Boom Mat throughout (including Floor Pans, Roof and inside of Doors) followed by 1/2-inch-thick Jute everywhere. Then all new Carpet.
- Headliner is custom-made by SewFine in Denver and is Sea Foam Green in color.
- Front Seats came from a 1971 VW Beetle. High backed a bit safer. They were rebuilt and reupholstered along with the rear seat utilizing dense Foam and modern techniques. Front seats are heated (both bottom and back) with dash mounted controls.
-Three point seatbelts in the front.

We set this Bug up to be flat towed behind a motorhome if desired. It has Blue OX Tow Bar Mounts (can adapt to Roadmaster) integrated into the reinforced front bumper. It also has all of the lights wired to a six point plug in the front. To my knowledge this Beetle has never been flat towed behind a motorhome, but it would make an excellent toad.

I have only listed the highlights here. Every nut, bolt and fastener has been gone thru and been inspected, replaced or upgraded. This Baja Bug is as nice as they come. Please ask questions.
