Special editions would be a great video ❤

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Thank you my friend, I am definitely going to do that soon. I think it will be a lot of fun.

@steve9173 Год назад

Great information guys. I own a 73 SB and whenever I go to a VW show I always look for the SB's. Definitely more standards on display.

@user-zs5ed5dz7u 12 дней назад

My Father had a 1972 autostick super beetle. The standard beetle's spare tire stood straight up in the front under the hood and didn't offer much protection in a front end collision. The super beetle's spare tire lay flat in the front under the hood, this made the tire absorb some of the impact and made the chances of getting out of the crash much better.

@danielwilliams9625 Год назад

I believe the 71 Super Beetle was the peak Hp beetle. Also besides handling improvements, the struts in the front made for additional luggage space in the trunk, which was a major selling point for the Super Beetle. The ‘71 SB is unique in that it had the flat windshield, old style steering wheel and oil bath engine air cleaner. I think the ‘72 SB had the plastic steering wheel and maybe a different air cleaner. Not positive on the last point. I’ve owned a ‘71 SB since 6/72. Redid the front end bushings a few years ago and it brought the handling back to normal and eliminated the infamous death-rattle associated with the SB. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing!

@briansmythe3000 Год назад

yeah My 72 SB had the New style Steering wheel and Air cleaner

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Thank you for posting sir. Honestly I think they drive amazingly well compared to the standards. Although I have a passion for both obviously. I would like to have a 71/72 with the flat dash.

@spuddoright1970 Год назад

My first Beetle was a 72 Super that I bought in 1989. I didn't know the difference at the time and often regretted having the Super once I realized what I had. I made the most of it and made a "Cal-style" bug out of it. Lowering struts, one-piece windows, Empi wheels and I put a cloth rag-top in it. I dumped a ton of money into a 1776 that was way better than the car deserved. I enjoyed it, but always hated the bulbous nose. I'm much happier now w/ my '63. Opinions vary and I have no problem w/ people loving their Supers; it just wasn't/isn't my preferred style. My 72 still had the flat windshield, flat dash and smaller tail-lights.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

I agree, I think what’s really attractive, as the 66 and back headlights. There’s just something about that old school look that makes me smile. Thank you so much for commenting. And thank you for being here.

@josephheston9238 Год назад

Also, '75-later Super Beetles came with rack-and-pinion steering. If you ever visit South Africa, you will find an anomaly. They have curved-windshield STANDARD Beetles (yes, there is such a thing).

@vintage76vipergreenBeetle Год назад

I have seen photos of those cars. Very cool bugs. Surprised no one here in the US has built one to confuse folks at the vw shows.

20:27 Fun fact: The grill under the frunk hood was for the (optional) AC, nobody wanted in Europe for it made 1/3 of the car's price. Guess they all went to USA. We have no speed limit on German Autobahn and rather put a front oil cooler there.

@neilallison2050 Год назад

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

I’m definitely going to sit down and start figuring out the video I’m not sure how many special additions there are but we are going to find out

I just found you guys. My first car was a '66 1300 convertible. I would like to see a video about the special edition beetles like the '72 Baja Bug; '73 Sports Bug, "74 Love Bug, Sun Bug, Fun Bug, '75 LaGrande Bug '78 and '79. Champagne Edition convertibles. European buyers got even more: the Yellow and Black edition, the Jeans Beetle, the City Beetle, the Big Beetle.

Wonderful video Slade! I have a stock 1973 SB. If I may point out one more difference, the SB uses a special tow plate and towing bar from all other beetles.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Thank you!! I appreciate the comment. I really like when you folks here add to the comments. People do read them and it gives more information

I love super Beetles Especially yellow ones

@TheJorgSacul Год назад

Speaking of those bucket headlights... could you do a "how to" on disassembling and reassembling them, and how NOT to either send the springs into orbit or into one's face? I've been lucky so far, but I need to do a full tear down to repaint and eliminate some spot rust, and I'd like to put them back together properly. See you tonight!

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Do you mean the headlight buckets on 67 and up?

When they made the Super Beetle they should have paited a big S like Superman has on his shirt somewhere on it.

Super beetle has McPherson struts & standard beetle is torsion bar front suspension my late father was a Volkswagen mechanic at Volkswagen dealership and service manager at Central Volkswagen in Dubois pa.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Thank you for leaving a comment Marty. Those McPherson struts really made a difference that’s for sure.

@46GarageUSA Год назад

Special Editions please

@stumpydog87 11 месяцев назад

In Australia all Super beetles had a 1.6 litre engine. The 1302 was known as known as the Volkswagen "S" and the 1303 as the Volkswagen "L".

@HesseJamez 4 месяца назад

I'm German and both were offered 1200/ 34hp, 1500/ 44hp + 1600/50 hp. "LS" was "all options" + 50hp and that badge was only used until 1973. Later models just got "1200" or "1303" Only 50hp had serial disc brakes .

@46GarageUSA Год назад

??? When I last sat in a beetle I barely fit, do ya think it's possible to easily modify the seat mount I points further back for a tall person ?

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Actually I did that on my last one. And I’m going to do it again not too far off on this one. I used aftermarket seats, and move them back further, and a little lower. What a big difference it makes. Check the playlist on the channel. It look for seats, you’ll be able to see what I did.

@jimo199966 Год назад

I'm curious as to how well the a/c performed under optimum conditions.

@ottolinden371 Год назад

I talked with an old guy who had one with that option, and that's the first question I asked given I have a 71 super beetle without it. He said it worked really well ice cold apparently, which was a surprise to me. This is in Minnesota, so hot humid summers too. Out of curiosity I also asked what happened to it, had a accident which they weren't at fault and that was pretty much the end of it. His only complaint was the heater.

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

From what I understand, the air conditioning surprisingly worked somewhat well. I have never had one, but I am going to look into some thing. Aftermarket air conditioning for these. If I can find it worthy, I will purchase it and do a video if it’s affordable.

@jimo199966 Год назад

@SladesVWBeetle Hopefully, if the stars align, it will happen. There are quite a few VW content channels out there. Yours is one of my go-to favorites because of your good vidiography techniques, good explanations, and showing that this isn't a hobby for only those with six-figure incomes. Keep up the great work, sir. 👍

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

Thank you my friend I truly appreciate the kind words, I really mean that. I just do the best that I can. And I try to keep it somewhat fun and interesting. Or sometimes I humiliate myself by showing mistakes. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But I like to keep it real. I think there is only a small portion of folks, that have high end dollars. I just try to keep it real. Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos, and most of all thank you for commenting.

@jimo199966 Год назад

@SladesVWBeetle I think "keeping it real" means showing mistakes and not being afraid to own it. When it's time to take a breath, walk away for a bit, then taking a new approach. My first car was a 1960 beetle with a canvas sunroof. It was towed from where I bought it, and a local VW guru put in a new fresh air 40 engine. The 6 volt electrical could be a challenge at times. 😆🙇‍♂️

How fast can a 1600 Volkswagen motor go

@SladesVWBeetle Год назад

The fastest that I ever had a stock motor, a 1600, was approximately 85 mph. Then I was starting to feel a little strange when the front end started floating. So I let off. 😁
