1973 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic for sale
Current customer rating: (155 votes ) based onThe motor runs great. starts right up. runs smooth. and has good power. Has original PICT34 carb. I added a new alternator and 009 distributor. I have changed oil every year as we have only put 1000 +/- miles on it a year. Does not smoke or use oil. I have adjusted valve train and is quiet. Clutch has good feel. Shifting is typical of a Beetle. I added a short throw kit to the shifter to make if a bit more firm and replaced the bushing at the transmission with a polyurethane version. The front suspension has new components and is tight. This suspension allows for ride height adjustment. When I bought it I raised it a couple of notches as it would occasionally bottom out when my country roads had a crown in them. It still is has a lower sporty look but very driveable. Tires are good. Fronts are smaller than stock and show a little wear on the inside edges. Wider than stock chrome wheels were added by previous owner.
The pans/floor boards and heater tubes are very solid. Body is solid and straight. No rust under battery either. Paint has some small imperfections as a car that is driven does. Presents very well and very cute. Top and headliner are in nice condition but are not perfect. The top has 3 small rips at rear window. Each rip is less that a inch long. I put black urethane sealer on them to prevent moisture getting into the top. Headliner is white and has a couple small stains. I added new floor mats and the interior is good shape. The previous owner added a stereo. Has 2 speakers in the rear package tray. They are mounted to a board with black vinyl on it and there is a speaker in each door. There is also interior lighting added near the floor front and rear. These lights are operated a rocker switch below the dash.
We purchased this because my wife always wanted a beetle and a convertible. She enjoyed it for a few years and now it is time to let you enjoy it. It is a blast to drive. I am a car collector and builder. I have always had cars from the 30's. 40's and 50's. This little beetle is one of the most enjoyable cars I have driven. I hope that I can have another one some day. Good luck bidding and ask questions if needed.
