1969 VW Beetles do not, nor should they need, starter gaskets. If it's leaking around the starter, it's because one of the two seals back there is leaking.
You must first figure out what oil is leaking out. Crawl under the car and pick up some of the oil on one of your fingers. Then get out of there, open the engine cover, pull the dipstick and wipe it on another one of your fingers. If the same oil is on both fingers, the engine's main seal is leaking. If they're different, the transmission seal is leaking.
Pray it's the transmission seal if you don't have an impact wrench because changing the engine seal can't be done without one.
You have to replace the whole starter.
underneath the car, on the passenger side, on the back side of the engine, up and under.
1965 to 1979 is the same.

There was no 1969 "super beetle" only the standard. And which line are you replacing the hard line or the flex line?

Yes, the hoods from 1968 to 1979 will all interchange.
I just checked a 1969 VW Transporter and asked a service rep for a repair shop about this and he stated that the starter on most old VW's are located behind the rear passenger wheel well. You might have to remove the rear wheel for easier access.
People have done it but it's very hard. What WILL fit on your Beetle are the disc brakes from a 1969-on Karmann Ghia.
Something to explain why you mentioned it. "Your father's 1969 VW Beetle" is a sentence fragment. If we were writing a story with dialog, and one character asked something like "which car are we taking to the fair?" another could come back with "your father's 1969 VW Beetle." but you'd write it like this: "Which car are the police looking for?" asked Mary. "Your father's 1969 Volkswagen Beetle," said John. If you're not doing dialog, something like... "Your father's 1969 Volkswagen Beetle was stolen last night and is now in the police impound lot." would be good.
