I've been collecting the cox baja bugs since the mid 90's, I've bought and sold many on ebay, I had one in yellow, a couple in orange and had several chassis and wheel variations over the years, But I have never even heard of that one.

Where did the picture come from?

I used to subscribe to a print newsletter called "gas toy collector" that had lots of info on them

Gas Toy Collector's Association, P.O. Box 440818, Houston, Texas 77244

I can't find a web address of phone #

I suppose another option for getting some attention would be to list it on ebay with a rediculously high reserve asking collectors with more info to email you and see what kind of emails with info you can get.

Hi All. Does anyone have any info on this car? It is a COX Special Edition gas Baja Bug from the late 60s or early 70s. It is "gold" plated. As I was told, it was never available for sale to anyone. It was presented to either hobby shops or distributors as a prize for outstanding sales. I have had many and seen many of the old Cox nitro bugs but never this one. I called Cox, and since the company has been bought and sold a few times, nobody knows anything about it. Here is a pic. Thanks......Jim

Jim,

I asked here:

And none of them have ever seen it before, and those folks have some huge VW toy collections.

Do you actualy have this in your posession or are you trying to find one?

If you've got it, how about some more pictures?

Thanks,

-Anthony

Hello Anthony. It is mine. The pics were taken on my kithen table. Yes, I do have it up on eBay right now. I have talked to a few Cox collectors and only found one who ever heard of it. And he always thought it was just a rumor. My call to Cox resulted in a dead end. They said that because the company has been sold a few times, most, if not all of the previous employees are not with them. I can supply any kind of pic you like. Thanks for the interest. Jim
