Very cool article about 69 Baja truck
 

I was looking through the February 2008 issue of Off-Road Adventuers (a free mag by the way) and they have an article on a 1969 Chevy truck that was ran in a number of off-road races including the Baja 1000. A dude came across this truck recently in Alturas, CA and bought it for a whooping $500 and rather than restore it, he got in cleaned up and took it to the 40th anniversary of the Baja 1000 for a vintage parade.

The article says a number of these were built and they were COPO trucks.

The magazine should have this article up on their website I'm guessing in about a month.

As the mag is copyrighted I imagine I shouldn't post the article but here are a couple scans to wet your appetite!

Yea! I like it!
Looks like the front end broke in that one picture. No suprise there.
That would have been a brutal ride for 1000 miles.
I think i'll paint my next race truck red....and put a 40 on the door.;)
