This is a nice 1973 Super beetle in running condition.
Previous owner did a LOT of work to it like rebuilding the suspension, engine, paint, installing some gaskets, and replacing light lenses. It will come to you with a few small parts that are waiting to be installed like a new gear shifter, gasket for the right side window, right side mirror. Seat belts were recently replaced as the originals would not pass inspection, nor did they work properly.
The car starts up every time, drives very well and handles great for a car this old. It is far more original than refurbished so if you are into keeping it stock; this car would be a great choice for you. Original steering column, shifter, mats, seats and other interior features are totally intact.
It has an adorable rack on top, extra space for those folks who enjoy biking or traveling.
Known issues include two small rust spots on the passenger side, nothing that cannot be fixed when you repaint the car. The left side light is not working properly and appears to need a rewire (brake light does work on that side though) and the alternator light is lit but the car is showing no signs of issues with the belt or alternator. We have not taken the time to troubleshoot this yet.
Hubcaps and rims are original, tires are still in acceptable condition. Overall this car is a pleasure to drive and will take you just about anywhere.
I am willing to ship the vehicle (you must pay for this, but I will cooperate fully to get it where it needs to go) you are welcome to come to Maryland to test drive the vehicle. Overall I would say this is an awesome classic car. It is very close to being complete on it's refurbishment, just needs someone to give it that last bit of love!
Title is clean and clear
Please send questions as they arise.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding
Wed, 06 Mar 2013If you thought there was nothing wrong with the Volkswagen Up! that a little body cladding wouldn't fix, you're in luck. VW has officially pulled the wraps off the production version of the Cross Up!, and its wheel arches and rocker panels are full of the black plastic cladding you've been yearning for.
In addition to the "particularly rugged design and tough, lifestyle qualities" that the cladding exudes, VeeDub has also seen fit to put its Cross Up! on a new set of 16-inch alloy wheels clad in 185/50-series tires. Inside, there are new kick plates to go along with a dash pad that can be had in red, black or silver.
All that cladding must equal additional off-road readiness, right? Well, sure... just so long as you're fine with the same 75-horsepower three-cylinder engine that all other Up! models also feature, along with a five-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels, again, just like all other Up! models. The Cross Up! appears to have a taller ride height than other models, but we haven't been able to find out what - if any - changes have been made.
Volkswagen Group previews its wares on eve of Geneva show
Mon, 05 Mar 2012The Volkswagen Group is comprised of 11 brands producing 240 vehicles across 49 factories throughout the world. So the best way to show off the range of the VW family is to cram a few thousand journalists and VIPs into a massive makeshift stand to outline the Group's goals, what's in the pipeline and what you'll be able to buy later this year.
To that end, VW pulled out all the stops on the eve of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, bringing along 10 vehicles from across the range. We'll be delving into the details of each over the next two days of show coverage, but before that happens, you can read all about what we saw tonight from the cheap seats after the break.
VW readying new VR6 with forced induction
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Volkswagen built a stonking, narrow-angle V6 in the 1980s and 1990s that was found in three different generations of the Golf (their performance iterations, obviously), three generations of the Passat, the New Beetle, the Corrado and the Touareg, among other VWs, a spate of Audis, Seats, a Skoda, and even the Porsche Cayenne. It was a sad day when it was announced that it'd be put out to pasture.
Rejoice, though, fans of the venerable VR6, because Volkswagen has a new, modern variant in the works that, according to AutoWeek, features direct injection and can easily be fitted with forced induction. In fact, AW mentions Volkswagen insiders that claim this unit will spawn a production version of the twin-turbo V6 shown on the Design Vision GTI from this year's Wörthersee festival. That unit produced an epic 503 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
Don't expect a production unit with that level of power (although it would make a hardy RS4 powerplant), though. In reality, AutoWeek is suspecting anywhere from 340 to 450 horsepower from the new mill. When it arrives at an undisclosed date in the future, it'll likely be found in the Passat and Passat CC as well as the production version of the CrossBlue.
