hey John, i had a 68 beetle with sunroof that i baja'ed like that also. had a friend at the time that was Mr. V.W. and he set that engine up for me and it would break a 100mph without a sweat. i could be doing 70 punch it and you could feel it accelerate hard. i wouldnt believe it if i didnt own the car myself. i made over 26 round trips from fl. to mi. with that car and never had a lick of trouble, she still got better than 25mpg...awsome car. then it got destroyed by a mack garbage truck in ft lauderdale, guy hit me 5 times and 4 of us walked away without a scratch. although i am sure the pains i have in my neck today stem from that accident. man, thats a car i wouldnt mind having back also. the only V.dub i never owned was the chia and always wanted one, had a bus, a squareback and a sedan but always wanted a droptop chia. some of the cars that have been mentioned here i have owned, you guys are bringing back some good and some not so good memories hahahahaha



Yeah, the baja had a hopped up engine that came with one of the donor cars. It was a lot of fun.
