1973 Volkswagen Beetle Vin: 1332331682- 1600cc 46HP engine- New stunning rainbow flake blue paint and hand painted pin stripes- New white interior seats with black piping - 15" American Spirit minilite style wheels with Coker 165R15 whitewall tiresThe Volkswagen Beetle, officially called the Volkswagen Type 1 (or informally the Volkswagen Bug), is an economy car produced by the German auto maker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003. With over 21 million manufactured in an air-cooled, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive configuration, the Beetle is the longest-running and most-manufactured car of a single design platform, worldwide. In 1973, the VW Type 1 introduced a curved windscreen, pushed forward and away from the passengers, allowing a redesigned, padded dashboard to replace the pre-1973 vertical dash. A two-speed heater fan, higher rear mudguards, and larger tail lights were added. The changes to the heater/windshield wiper housing and curved windshield resulted in slight redesign of the front hood.MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this beautiful blue 1973 Volkswagen Beetle you see pictured.
