anyone know about Baja racing?
 

Was there a VW Bug Baja racer from probably the 1970's that had a blue and white paint scheme with the number 506?

Tamiya RC car has an old discontinued model of a Bug and I'm trying to find a picture or any other information about the full scale racer.

Does anyone know about the original Bug Baja racer??

Here is the old Tamiya model:

Team Losi also shows a picture of a body painted the same way more recently:

I'm in the process of buiding a semi scale baja bug on a tamiya hornet chassis. I have recently changed the rear bumper cage, i'll post more pictures tomorrow.
