This 1973 Volkswagen Beetle sports a vibrant red paint job that
demands a second look. It's no ordinary Bug - with covered
headlights, deleted front fender turn signals, and smaller rear
taillights, it channels the spirit of pre-1960s European cars. The
15-inch wheels wrapped in 185/65R15 front and 205/65R15 rear tires
give it a muscular stance. Chrome bumpers gleam front and rear,
while the spaced-out engine cover and rear-exit exhaust.
Gray dominates the cabin, creating a cool contrast to the fiery
exterior. Custom-upholstered bucket seats in two-tone suede cradle
driver and passenger alike. The rear bench and door panels match,
creating a cohesive look throughout. A Grant aftermarket steering
wheel and stainless steel window crank handles add a touch of
modern flair. The dash houses Auto Meter Phantom gauges for speed,
oil pressure, fuel level, and oil temperature, with additional
indicator lights for critical functions. A Kenwood Bluetooth head
unit pumps tunes through kick panel speakers and twin 12-inch subs
mounted in the rear parcel shelf.
The star of this show is the built 2110cc flat-four engine. Dual
single-barrel EMPI carburetors feed the beast, while a single
exhaust system with an aftermarket muffler provides the soundtrack.
Power routes through a "Freeway Flier" 4-speed manual transmission,
offering longer gearing for comfortable cruising. The front disc
brake setup ensures confident stops. Independent suspension at all
four corners keeps this Bug planted through the twisties.
