Overview of 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle For Sale by Owner

If you were growing up anywhere from the 1940s to the early 2000s, you are more than likely to have learned to drive or own the humble Volkswagen Beetle at some stage. Simple in design and meant to get you about it was the old faithful for many families and young adults. With over 21 million examples sold during its lifetime and multiple trim options, the Super Beetle is quite possibly the most interesting out of the lot. With more power to play with and those iconic beetle design cues, you surely can't go wrong driving off in this lovely 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle we have today. If that wasn't enough, this car has just a reported 123,500 miles on the clock and is a numbers matching example as well.

Exterior and Interior

With its great sales numbers, it's not odd to find an aftermarket scene for the Volkswagen Beetle; owners worldwide lower their cars or increase performance in their vehicles to stand out. This 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle sports a lovely green exterior, and on closer inspection, you would note that the car has been lowered, giving it a lovely stance; the front bumper has been deleted as well and provides a lovely aesthetic look. The factory hubcaps are still in place and are wrapped with new tires to nail that low-down stance in true vintage Volkswagen fashion. Matching an interior with an exterior color can be tough. However, the light brown and black interior on this 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle just doesn't match the exterior but also boasts a factory interior as well. Every interior component is in great shape, from the Wolfsburg steering wheel to the gear knob.

Engine

While practically everyone owned or drove a Volkswagen Beetle, it was quite hard to find the Super Beetle when out and about. The 1600cc air-cooled engine was the largest and the most powerful on the lineup, and when coupled with the Beetle's lightweight body, it sure equaled to some great times behind the wheel. This 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle sports the legendary 1600cc air-cooled engine and is reported to have engine maintenance done to it as well. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 3-speed Autostick automatic transmission.

Made between 1938 and 2003, over 21 million examples were sold during that time. That’s actually more than the population of many countries! Formally, the Beetle was only offered as a two-door saloon or a two-door convertible – beach buggies, stretches and other body styles were aftermarket creations. Today, we have a sub 30,000-mile 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle for sale from Lake City, Texas. This gorgeous drop-top Bug comes with a car cover, the owner’s manual and is reportedly a Karmann Ghia-tagged car.
