Jeff's 1973 Super Beetle
I bought
this 1973 Super Beetle for 900 bucks and it was in near perfect
condition besides faded paint in some spots. The day I bought it
I took it over to Detail Plus and lowered it 2 inches in the front.
I had it for about 2 months then someone tried to steal it and when
we found it, well it wasn't good whoever took it managed the put
the left rear into a telephone pole... the whole left rear suspension
needed to be replaced, fender, tail lights, and wheel.
I had to let it sit for about a month while I got the money so I
could fix it again. While I had the rear suspension off I lowered
it on the torsion bars two notches which made it a lot lower than
the front, but I didn't care I just wanted to drive it again. I
had it on the road for about one day and then the engine decided
it was time for it to blow up. So it will have to sit even longer
till I can get the money to rebuild it or just get a new more performance
based engine for it to smoke them Hondas.
