Vehicle Description
We all love an entry-level classic like this 1973 Volkswagen
Beetle. It's the kind of vintage car that is turnkey ready to go
out cruising, and any time you want to upgrade your classic,
everything is a simple and affordable.
This Beetle shows exactly what's so fun about the VW custom car
culture. This one is far from stock with custom chrome bumpers,
surfer-style waves running down the sides, and flush-mounted
taillights. Of course there's also no missing the Spirit of America
wheels, and the taller rear tires that give this one an aggressive
forward-leaning stance. Beneath all of these features that make
this one standout are still the elements that made us all fall in
love with Volkswagen. It's in everything from the solid engineering
(the doors still close with the reassuring "thunk") to the now
iconic rounded good looks.
The interior shows more evidence of custom work. You'll notice it
the moment you open the door and see the panel's stitch design, and
the gray fabric buckets are much more comfortable than what came
from the factory. You can rest your left hand on the sports
steering wheel, and your right one will enjoy the performance
shifter. But the classic car experience is more than just for the
driver. That's why your passengers can enjoy upgraded features such
as the AM/FM stereo with iPod connector, cup holders, and a full
view through the glass sunroof.
The familiar 1600 cc air-cooled flat four engine is a big part of
the Beetle's appeal with its bulletproof reliability, and familiar
whistling exhaust note. These are easily upgrade-able, and this one
already has a few added performance parts to squeeze extra HP out
of this powerplant. This Super Beetle has dual carburetors on the
trusty 4 cylindar. This is linked to the sturdy and versatile
four-speed manual transmission, which allows you to get the most
out of the motor. As many VW fans already know, this is a higher
end Super Beetle. That means a better steering box, bigger brakes,
and a new MacPherson strut front end suspension. This is improved
even further with a strut tower brace in the trunk and modern tires
at all four corners. So for those who want to drive and enjoy their
classics on the open road, this is a nice way to experience a
vintage VW.
Owning a Beetle is your ticket to one of the friendliest vintage
car communities out there. That's why it's great to see one like
this that's affordable to buy, and easy to enjoy for years to come.
