We won’t mind if you want to take
a second to rub your eyes to make sure you’re not seeing things. This 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle is quite possibly
the cleanest classic Beetle in the world and with 445-miles on the odometer
since it was fully rebuilt, it’s more than worth the $21,900 price tag.
This ’73 Beetle recently
underwent a complete restoration from the ground up that likely cost more than
twice the asking price. Admittedly the body isn’t perfect for an event like the
Concours d’Elegance, but it is super straight and the brilliant blue paint
finish is stellar. Much of the chrome and stainless steel components were
replaced during the restoration process giving it a perfect, showroom shine.
Powering the Beetle is the
vehicle’s original 1600-cc air-cooled, flat-four cylinder powerplant. When it
was first introduced in 1971, it made just 50-hp and has been completely
rebuilt. The engine bay has also been restored to showroom new, if not better.
The engine is mated to a four-speed manual transmission.
Inside the Beetle there’s a bit
of modern-age technology including a $2,000 sound system and a custom blue-LED
lit interior. The driver and passenger seats have been swapped out with Procar
by Scat buckets while the rear features a custom covered bench. The rest of the
interior has been refinished with today’s finest upholstery and is truly like
no other.
