Seller's comments about 1973' Volkswagen Beetle
PRICE LOWEREDThis 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 1960s 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.
