Bert Junker and Dick Lee's 1969 convertible VW Baja racer, as featured in this mid 70's Off Road Magazine article.
Interior aluminum was fabricated by Unique Metal Products. Seat came from Taylor-Made. The car was also equipped with a Jomar steering brake for use at short course events like Riverside.
The transaxle used a Crown Super-Diff,ring and pinion, and close-ratio third and fourth gears. Sway-A-Way double jointed axles were used, as well as Sway-A-Way 28mm rear torsion bars. The air cleaner tube was custom made. K & N provided the filter elements. Exhaust system by Cragar.
A 1965 VW torsion bar front end was used because Dick felt it was stronger than the ball joint style of 1969
The fiberglass front end is a Sandwinder one-piece. The front and rear bumpers are from Chenowth.
