well. I took a big chance and bought a '74 Super Beetle. same 1 mentioned earlier... it needs some floor pan work, but I'm probably going to make my own out of 16 or 18 ga. because I have ither or, and the Mig welder.. other than the floor work needed, it's solid and in good condition for a 36 year old Super Beetle. brakes have been redone sometime in recent history, and everything works. except the aftermarket radio ( standard shaft mount Kenwood so dash not cut ).. I'll get another shaft mount Pyle or Dual brand radio and put it in so I have tunes.. also has a good working autostick transmission.... but it runs good as is, and is quick enough to get me to work, so I won't buy any go fast parts
