The Volkswagen Beetle has grown a huge following from many
different groups of automotive enthusiasts from hot rodders to
hippies these cars have been adored for generations! This 1973
Super Beetle has been well maintained over the years and a recent
restoration to bring it back to its former glory. In 2014 the car
was stripped down, sand blasted, and put back together piece by
piece using new screws and gaskets. The fenders were all replaced
with new ones and the whole body was treated with an anti-rust
coating and then painted over with a gorgeous two-tone orange and
black color combination. Inside the Super Beetle all the panels
were lined with Dynomat to reduce road noise and limit vibrations.
The floors were then covered in new carpets, reupholstered 1973
rear seat reinstalled, and new Corveau sport seats installed up
front. The rare black headliner was installed and all of the
sunroof components were refurbished. Overall the interior looks
great and is very comfortable even on a longer drive! Another
subtle change to this Beetle includes the more sought after 1960's
front and rear bumpers that really set the look of this car off
right. There were some big differences between the Beetle and the
Super Beetle especially in 1973. These included a superior front
suspension with spring instead of the torsion bars, the body was
extended 2" over the regular Beetle, and the windshield was curved
for less wind resistance. These upgrades made a dramatic difference
in the ride quality and performance of the beetle and are a ton of
fun to drive! The 1600cc air-cooled engine is plenty of powerful
and paired with the 4-speed manual transmission adding to the
sporty feel. This Super Beetle is a great car for someone looking
for a weekend cruiser or something to take down to the local car
show. This vehicle is located in our Denver showroom. You can view
