Picked up a 72 super, baja special. Does anyone know of everything that was different about the baja special? If so, thanks.

There's a website that list all of the special editions and the specifications.
Don't know the address, but I'm sure sombody here does.

Tha lists them all. But I'll point out that some of the info I've found has been contradictory on the web, in particular about the Baja edition and the Marathon edition (because I have one or the other and I can't seem to find out which). :)

It's not a Baja Bug, it's a regular beetle with some special stickers and trim on it.

From what I understand(I could be wrong), In europe, they were released as "Marathon Edition". Over here they were released as "Baja Champion". Same car, just different names because of location. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for the help.

I got some very helpful info when I posted about roughly the same thing:

Between the info there and the www.sebeetles.com site, you should be good. Welcome to the club! :)
