    That person was smart having you assist in finding a good bug. I just bought a 1974 super beetle. It's an original California car. No rust, thank goodness. But you find them with rust here as well. Good find on that one. You definitely know your business.

    That’s a solid original car, besides the wheels.
    It’s so original it still has the sticker on the steering wheel with the instructions on how to start her up!

    Looks like a nice stocker.. id drop the front down so its more level..but then its not stock looking like they like. Good job sir! Oh and I have a crack in the same place...put a coverlay cover over it... the cover cracked in the exact same place as the dash. ...oh well...give it character.

    Reminds me of my 74 Superbeetle. It was cleaner than Kleenex. I paid a whopping $3,300 for it in the early 80's. That was big money back then for a Bug. Unfortunately it went to an early grave after getting T boned. Almost sent me to an early grave too. I lived...The Bug didn't.

    I have one just like that one, except! It has only a little over 33,000 miles on it, and a charcoal grey interior. I found a set of NOS bumper guards, added a clock (which I had rebuilt), as well as a 12 volt outlet instead of cigarette lighter. With Corker white sidewall tires, it looks pretty good. I am having a hard time deciding if I should just drive it or sell it. (I have 2 other bugs--a '72 the same color, and a "67 project which is Zenith Blue. But they aren't as nice!)

    Same color as my ‘74 Super. Installed a CB front disc brake kit on it yesterday and it makes a huge difference in stopping power. With 60 massive horsepower, stopping is very important.

      ​@Chris Vallone Chris, how do you restore the dash pad on the later Super Beetle's? I'm having a '74 SB convertible restored and couldn't find a replacement, other than a cheezy looking plastic layover. Fortunately, a local upholstery shop agreed to re-cover the pad with leather. It looks better, but certainly not pristine.
