For Sale: 1973 Volkswagen Beetle in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

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.
