Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this 1973
Volkswagen Super Beetle. The new larger Beetle was sold as the
1302/1302 S. The sole purpose of the big Beetle was to provide
increased luggage capacity, which grew 50%. MacPhearson front
suspension was incorporated, like what was used in the Type 4, and
the front track was widened. The new suspension layout allowed the
spare tire to be positioned flat under the trunk floor, although
the car had to be lengthened slightly to accomplish this. This also
allowed a reduction in turning radius. To gain additional room, the
under-dash panel was lowered, allowing the fuel tank to be shifted
rearward. From the windscreen back, the big Beetle was identical to
its smaller progenitor, except for having the semi-trailing arm
rear suspension as standard equipment. This Beetle comes to us in
stunning condition with an incredibly healthy 2055CC stroker engine
that propels this bug down the road with gusto. This car is so fun
to drive. This one is one of a kind. The interior has been finely
upgraded with an incredibly thick padded blue vinyl seats and the
tuck and roll motif carries into the trunk where custom panels are
in place to cover the power amp up front. Equipped with a nicely
appointed sound system this beetle not only sounds great but runs
with the best of them. This little bug is a real neat little
crawler. Make it yours today. This 1973 Volkswagen Beetle is for
