Description of 1973 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic |
The Beetle holds the trophy for the longest produced vehicle in automotive history. It has changed very little since its first debut to the last production in Mexico; however the car remains to be an iconic nameplate. Launched in 1938 and imported throughout the modern world till 1979 then only manufactured and distributed to Mexico and other Central American countries till 2003. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to bring to market this highly customized VW Beetle that is in remarkable condition inside, outside, underneath and mechanically solid. After test driving this custom Beetle it was apparent that the builder and previous owner had spent plenty of time and money on this cool ride. It fires up quickly, drives with plenty of power and all features are working. It shifts thru the gears with ease and brakes straight with no flaws. The car was treated to a full frame off restoration starting in 2003. The car was sandblasted and stripped of all trim and moldings then brought back to life in a stellar Mosaic Blue paint job that is quite stunning and shows off the car very nicely. Engine was completely rebuilt and many components replaced with new features. Brand new transmission was installed and new MSD ignition was installed. New exhaust was fitted with twin tip exhaust and mufflers. Inside you will find a custom laid out cabin with new front and rear seats, front are adjustable and have a sport design to them along with custom stereo, with speakers and lighting accessories, Xenon headlights, Vintage Air Condition installed, door handles, door trim, and carpet set. Vehicle was mounted on custom 17in Fuch Porsche style wheels with the Porsche crest which fit nicely on the car which is made possible by the adjustable front beam. Front and rear drilled rotors are a nice upgrade and stops the car without any hesitation. Custom vintage VW roof rack completes the look on the outside and will provide many thumbs up from all around. This is a fantastic build and one that would cost a small fortune to duplicate. The paint job along was valued over $15k and with new engine and transmission this Beetle will provide many enjoyable miles and fun times for the next owner. Cruise to the beach, boat or mountains in style and never drive a boring car again.
