If you are seeking help for performing a 1971-1974 VW Super Beetle Restoration, this is the book for you. The Super Beetle was VW's answer to late-1960s car safety concerns and federal regulations. It was also an attempt to modernize the aging "Bug" for a new generation of American car buyers. So, for 1971 through 1974, the VW Super Beetle (aka the 1302), was the "new" Beetle of its day. Nowadays, more than a few decades later, the Super Beetle has earned its "classic car" rank, and many enthusiasts are learning that the Super Beetle offers many benefits compared to its older cousins...
  • A larger engine
  • More cargo room
  • A smoother ride
  • Up-to-date safety features (by early '70s standards)
  • And more!
And, as the early Beetles become harder to find, the thoughts of rebuilding or restoring a 1971-1974 Super Beetle 1302, look a lot better. The Volkswagen Super Beetle Handbook is your guide to a detailed building and restoration guide for VW 1302s, and one that Super Beetle enthusiasts will appreciate and use.
