Roll Cage Baja
Is the old volkswagen bug safe?
I was thinking about purchasing an old volkswagen bug and was just wondering about the safety. It would be a baja bug with a roll cage and probably better brakes. And with the gas tank up front, does that pose as a serious problem? It would be either a 68, 69, or 70.
I don't live anywhere near the Baja race or L.A. I would also have a 3 point seat belt added and I would just wonder for a 30 mph crash.
Yeah I only live in a town of a couple thousand so theres no traffic and not a whole lots of cars on the road.
No it isn't. A lot has changed in automotive safety in over 40 years.
