1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Yellow. clear title. nice repaint. see pictures. Drivers seat repaired recently. Has new distributor. master cylinder. carburetor. commonly called Super Beetle. the new stretched nose design replaced the dual parallel torsion bar beams which had compromised trunk space and relocated the spare tire from a near vertical to a low horizontal position. The redesign resulted in a tighter turning radius despite a 20 mm (0. 79 in) longer wheelbase. and a doubling of the front compartment's cargo volume. As with previous models. air pressure from the spare tire pressurized the windshield washer canister. in lieu of an electric pump. In 1973. the VW 1303 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.
