Depends on where in the world the car was built and sold. Available engines of that era were 1300, 1500 (most common) and 1600CCs. The 1600cc engine was most common in the Super Beatles whilst the 1500 was most common in the L Bugs.

What is the Difference between 73 beetle and 73 super beetle?

The Super Beetles started in '71 or '72 and and the main differences are they are a little bit longer and they went to a Strut front suspension. They also went to a curved windshield in '74 or '75. I'm not sure when the standards did. But in "general", everything behind the windshield is the same as a standard, so I'm told. But every year VW made slight changes to them both so some things will fit others and some things won't. The curved windshield on a super beetle started in '73 and had a larger plastic dashboard. Another way you can tell a beetle from a super beetle is the standard beetle's spare tire sits uprite in the front of trunk while the super lays flat on bottom of trunk.

What is the best year for the VW Beetle?

I have owned several beetles starting in my teens. My preference is for Type 1 VW's, known as regular or standard Beetles - not the Super Beetle as mentioned before. The Super Beetle's were Volkswagen"s response to American drivers wanting the car to handle more like an American car. I find the Super Beetles to have sluggish steering and a heavier feel. Standard Beetles have front end torsion bar suspension giving it it's characteristic light, bouncy ride with quick and nimble manual steering. As for the prefered year models, I quite liked my '68 with a 1500 engine. But I have since owned 3 '74 models mainly for the more powerful 1600 engine. This was also the last model before Volkswagen switched to the problem plagued fuel injected model in '75. I owned one of those as well and it was a lemon.
