Overall this Baja is rough, but has a solid steel rollcage and excellent suspension and transaxle that was purpose built for offroad. There is no title for this car since it was a former race car turned woods toy. On the road the car will push through a turn due to the wide front end and hard rubber tires, but off road this thing will scream. It has a great cushy ride offroad with plenty of travel. Currently the car is out of service and needs the following that I know of. The new fuel tank needs to be bolted down and tubing installed. The front steering knuckles need to be replaced (which is why the car cannot be towed using a tow bar and must be pulled by trailor). The front coil shocks shown in the picture did not work out well for clearance and the original shocks off the car need new spring kits (the front beam does not have leafs, it is a free-bar type so the shock springs are the controlling springs). The engine can be made to run, but not worth much. The engine leaks oil too fast and is underpowered. The car has been sitting for a year, so the brakes need to be gone through. The shifter needs a new bushing or a new shifter. It was hard to get into 2nd gear I think due to the missing shifter bushing. Engine needs to be re-wired to the cab. Front fiberglass has a rip in it. Other than that, the usual rust of a 68 Baja offroad toy. Milage is unknown.
