How do you tell a 1976 beetle from a super beetle?
There are two versions of the Super Beetle, one made in 1971 and 1972, the other in 1973, 1974 and 1975. All of them have a louvered front apron (the piece of sheetmetal below the trunk lid, behind the front bumper) and the spare tire lays flat in the trunk. All Standard Beetles had the front tire standing up in front of the gas tank. The 1973-75 Supers also have a curved windshield.

What is the difference between 1974 volkswagon beetle and 1974 super beetle?
AnswerThe super beetle has a curved windshield and different front suspension. There may be other differences. AnswerThe superbeetle is completely different from the windshield forward. It had the curved windshield, strut suspension instead of torsion beam ,and a redesigned trunk area for more space. The easiest way to spot the difference is the windshield, or the spare tire. In standard beetles it stands up, in supers it lays down. From the windshield back they are essentially the same car. True for the '74, but some Super Beetles had flat windshields. The easiest way to distinguish between the two types is to look at the front hood. On all Super Beetles the indentations on the hood are wider at the bottom, on either side of the latch handle. On regular Beetles the hood indentations are pointed at the bottom.Another answerONLY Super Beetles have Strut front suspensions.
WILL SEATS FROM A 1974 BEETLE FIT IN A 1974 BEETLE?
Yes, since that's a tautology. Unless you mean "would additional seats fit in a vehicle without taking the original seats out first", in which case it would be a pretty tight fit, but you might be able to get them in the back. There isn't much room in the "trunk" (which in a '74 beetle is actually in the front), and I doubt you could get them in there.
