location of overflow vent on 1972 VW Beetle IRS rear suspension
In 1972, I bought a 1972 Volkswagen beetle for $1,900.
About 2200 LBS. Give or take a pound or two. I have 1972 Super Beetle and my data plate says 990 lbs with no passengers
nope, they've got different runners.
Yes, the hoods from 1968 to 1979 will all interchange.
On my 73 super beetle it is about 2100.Yours should be pretty close to that.

There are a few things to look at, look at the windshield first, in a super beetle it will be curved, also on a super beetle if you look at the front suspension you will see struts (springs instead of shocks) and if you open the hood you will see a circular depression for the spare tire to lay down, and the last way to tell is to look at that dashboard, a super beetle has a dashboard that is big enough to throw a pack of cigarettes on to whereas a standard bug has no dashboard.Actually, in a 1971 and 1972 beetle you can get a super beetle with a flat window and a flat dash. I own a 1971 Super beetle. It looks like a standard beetle in every way but it is slightly larger. The only way to tell is by looking for a spare tire that lays flat (only true in the Super) and the suspension. I suggest looking at the spare. If it is angled vertically it is standard - laying flat means it's a super.
This is a 1600 cc engine made from late 1970 to 1972 for the Beetle.
