This Volkswagen is one of a four Beetle team built in Mexico City that was campaigned in the 1996 running of the famous Mexican road race. The cars were sponsored by Mars Candy Company (Skittles) to commemorate the original Volkswagen team entries in the 1954 Carrera Panamericana. This particular car finished the grueling 2,000 mile course in the required 7 day length of the race. After the race, the car fell into disrepair and was abandoned before being brought across the border into the United States. It is believed that this is the only 1 of the original 4 Beetle team that is still on the road.
