For Sale: 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible in Lutz, Florida

This 1973 Volkswagen Beetle convertible is the ultimate custom version of the original bug. Every angle reveals a new specialized touch that has turned this charming ragtop into one of the coolest Beetles around.


This is one of the slickest Germans you will ever lay your eyes on. The orange paint was applied with such a careful hand and hard shine that it perfectly complements the body's Teutonic tightness that makes this VW an icon. It's so good that when sunshine hits the paintwork, it instantly announces to the world that this bug goes way beyond its people's car roots. As you dig deeper into the details of this Volkswagen, you'll realize it's the perfect car show companion. The lowered suspension and 15-inch white wheels (with iconic VW covers) are an instant attention-grabber to draw people in. And as people get closer, they'll notice cool custom elements like the pinstriping on the trunk and around the rear light. Plus, it even carries those little touches that VW people love to see such as the original Karmann badges from its coachbuilder.


The black folding roof gives way to an exceptionally clean black interior. So it looks great against the orange no matter if the top is up or down. The high-back bucket seats that came on the later models are particularly comfortable for all-day cruising. Another nice feature is a newer AM/FM/CD stereo with more powerful speakers in the kick panels. After all, who wants to hit the road without their tunes? Especially in a car that just screams 'summertime fun' like this one (there are even provisions for air conditioning.) There's just something cool about grabbing the grippy factory steering wheel with Wolfsburg crest in the center, grabbing the gearshift, and watching the singe VDO gauge. This is the essence of the Beetle, and you feel instantly connected to generations of owners from the moment you step inside.


The familiar 1500 cc air-cooled flat four engine is a big part of the Beetle's appeal thanks to its bulletproof reliability and hypnotic rhythm. This is linked to the sturdy and versatile four-speed manual transmission, which allows you to get the most out of the motor. It makes for an unbeatable package that provides reliability and fun driving. Plus, as many VW fans already know, this is a Super Beetle. That means an improved steering box, bigger brakes, and a new MacPherson strut front suspension. This one also has a new thick front sway bar, too. So for those who want to drive their classics, this is one of the nicest ways to experience a vintage VW.


Beetle ownership is the ticket into one of the friendliest car clubs around, and this custom convertible will make them all want to come to you. The sale even comes complete with an impressive amount of paperwork, including the original window sticker, bill of sale, owner's manual, and maintenance records. It's an affordable way to turn heads and get attention, but at the same time you're getting a turnkey classic that's easy to love and maintain. Call now!!!
