1973 Volkswagen Beetle – Custom Build

This 1973 Volkswagen Beetle has been fully restored and extensively customized into a unique, one-of-a-kind street rod. The car features a professionally finished exterior in bright red with smooth bodywork and custom fabrication throughout, giving it a distinctive hot-rod-inspired appearance while retaining the classic Beetle silhouette.

The build includes a modified front end with exposed suspension components and integrated lighting, along with widened rear stance and custom wheel setup that enhances both presence and drivability. The rear features a clean, simplified design with dual exhaust outlets and integrated lighting.

Power comes from a 1600cc air-cooled Volkswagen flat-four engine, consistent with the Beetle’s original configuration, offering reliable and straightforward performance. The vehicle has been restored with attention to detail and presents in very clean condition throughout.

This Beetle stands out as a custom build that blends classic Volkswagen heritage with modern hot rod styling, making it ideal for shows, weekend cruising, or collectors seeking a distinctive custom example.
