Bought a 72 super new, and proceded to upgrade suspension, Bug -spray carb...EMPI products, exhaust, etc.,,,,and it was fun to hunt other Euro cars in the twisties. The quality control had dropped by then, plastic fell apart, seats deteriorated, by two years old. That Metallic Blue paint did not last, but sold it by 1981...glad to get rid of it..Even got a thousand dollars for it.....but fun early 20's memories. Thanks fro the retrospect.😇
That's a 1972 - not a 1971. '71 had an old style steering wheel with the horn hoop and the wiper switch was a knob on the dash to the left of the heater fan, not a lever on the column.
Nice! I also had a 71 Super Beetle in Clementine. Bought it new days after I graduated high school. $1,650. Sunrise Volkswagen, Bay Shore, Long Island NY. Sold it to a friends father a year later, and bought a 1972 Super Beetle in Royal Blue/ white alabaster interior, with a sunroof. $1,800. Fun, fun, fun! Should have kept them both! I'm going to consider the new 2025 cabriolet coming out soon.
"The steering wheel is in great shape - but - it's broken" "Here's the original radio - but - it doesn't turn on" "We're going on the highway - but - no license plates"
Anyone know what it sold for? 🤔Must have been a Premium Price for such Great Condition - Average worn but running Beetles start around 8k to the🌛 for a Decent one here in Oz Maybe you'd have to import from Brazil or Mexico to get something that "New"
To answer the super beetle question the super beetle spare tire lays flat instead Of vertical and it has more storage in the trunk and has better suspension. As for the floating question yes it does float but Only for a bout an hour
Beautiful example. I have the same one ('71 Super Beetle) in clementine orange. Just recently got it up and running. Whoever buys that car will love it. Good luck!! Here is a video of mine : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XP8FlVlwSWM.html
