The owner of this Volkswagen Beetle wanted to create the best
looking and driving Beetle possible. To that end a lavish amount of
funds, along with a tremendous amount of work, thought and
creativity went into this exceptional VW. The foundation of any
build is the engine built by Competition Engineering, which is a
2110cc Supercase 90 with a forged 82mm crank, chevy rods, Autocraft
1.25 rockers, FK10 cam, Outlaw 044 heads, Total Seal rings, HD oil
pump, remote filler and a deep sump pan. Additionally, this Beetle
is equipped with dual 44 IDF Weber carburetors.
The car shifts excellently and with a Freeway Flyer transaxle by
Arizona Transaxle Tech, lighted 1700 lb clutch and a EMPI shifter.
There is a great exhaust system out the back and the cover over the
engine is vented. The upgraded staggered 15" and 16" wheels by
Spirit of America on this classic allowed the use of modern tires
and front disc brakes to create a safer and pleasurable driving
experience, as well as a great stance.
Over $25,000 was spent on the mechanical rebuild and upgrades to
this classic Beetle.

Exceptional driving Beetle
This 1973 Beetle has been modified with 1957 VW fenders and
bumpers, giving it a classic look with shielded headlights and
small taillamps converted to LED. The doors have a clean look
thanks to the elimination of the vent windows and the installation
of a new one-piece door glass. Over $8,500 was spent on the body,
resulting in an arrow-straight body with a beautiful deep paint
finish. The interior, including the door panels and headliner, are
custom trimmed in an attractive and comfortable suede-like
material. Other interior highlights are a cold air conditioning
system, Auto Meter Phantom ll gauges, Grant steering wheel, billet
window cranks and a fabulous-sounding Kenwood Soundsystem with four
speakers. If you have been searching for high-quality, attractive,
fast, solid driving Beetle, this is the car for you!
