The 1972 rear fenders are the same on the standard and super Beetles, there is a difference between the front fenders however.
very little. tad longer, and has McPherson struts up front on the SB.
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
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.
Yes, they are tubeless
On my 73 super beetle it is about 2100.Yours should be pretty close to that.
If I can remember right 10 gallons if its a Super Beetle maybe more Super Beetles hold 11.25.
1972 Super Beetles had 4 drum Brakes. I know, since I own one. Richard
My 1972 VW Super Beetle owner's manual calls for 6.00- 15 L bias ply tires on 4 1/2 J x 15 safety rims.
correct it will fit. be sure to take lots of pictures before you pull all of the wires off. so you have a diagram of where they go after.
No. 1971 and 1972 Supers used different body parts than 1973 thru 1975 Supers.
If it's a Super that was made for the US market, it came with a 1600cc engine.
Front of tranny, kinda sorta on the right side.
