The decision to produce the Super Beetle was going to be a costly one. Never before had Volkswagen spent so much time or money on the Beetle. The new suspension design required a new chassis and every panel in the front end had to be redesigned as well. This meant new rounder fenders, a larger wider hood, redesigned front valance, a new spare tire well, changes to other areas of the body and new inner fenders to accommodate the mounting of the new struts. This would be the most costly and extensive revision of the Beetle since it was first launched.August 1970 the all-new sales brochure stated, “And now the new VW 1302S. The 1600cc Super Beetle. The most powerful, most exciting and most comfortable Beetle ever.”
The seller states this car is a great driving car, with solid mechanicals.
The 20 plus year old paint has seen better days, the Interior is very nice with new upholstery, new carpets, an updated stereo and a new headliner that was recently installed.
Other mechanical work performed includes new floor pans, other under-body rust repair, brake servicing, suspension bushings, new tires and while the wheels were off the rims were blasted and painted.
The Volkswagen Beetle, officially the Volkswagen Type 1 is one of the most iconic cars in automotive history, the Beetle is noted for its distinctive shape. Its production period of 65 years is the longest of any single generation of automobile, and its total production of over 21.5 million is the most of any car of a single platform beating out the Ford Model T at more than 15 Million.
