I am making a 3d beetle baja (like '68) for a technical drawing class. for this, i need specs such as length and height. i've looked high and low, but haven't found anything. does anybody have any old beetle stats (if possible 1968ish (if possible "baja bug"))? thanks, everybody.

Also, does anybody have any shots from underneath a bug I could see. I have to model the chassis and such and it's kinda hard with outside body shot, heh. ;)

it's a beetle for crying out loud! how can it be 13.5 feet long if it's only 5 feet wide and tall?

where did you get your info? if you got it somewhere else maybe they typoed?
based off a photo a side shot photo i have and your other dimensions, by some proportions, i have calculated the length to be 11' 10.5". and even that seems a little long.
