1971 vw how can you find out if it is a super beetle or a beetle?
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.

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.
Does a 1974 VW Beetle have springs?
Well...it depends. A Regular Beetle (flat windshield, no slots in the apron under the front bumper, spare tire upright, steel dashboard) has no springs in either end of the suspension. A Super Beetle (curved windshield, slots in the front apron, spare tire lying flat, plastic dashboard) has McPherson Strut front suspension with springs around the shocks, but no springs in the rear suspension.
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.
How do you tell a 71 beetle from super beetle?
In 1971 and 1972, the Super Beetles had the same flat windshields the "Deluxe" Beetles did. (The curved windshield was introduced with the 1973 model year.) The quickest way is to open the trunk and look at the spare tire. If it's lying flat, the car's a Super. ALL the Supers have the Mcpherson strut suspension so just look at either of the front wheel wells and if you can see a "shock" inside the coil it's a super. There's an easier way, which you can use from 20 feet away from the car: look at the front apron--the piece of sheet metal below the trunk lid. If it's slotted, the car's a Super; if it's not, the car's a Standard Beetle.
Is your beetle a superbeetle?
Some easy ways to identify a superbeetle are as follows: 1. windshield. If the windshield is curved, the car is *definitely* a superbeetle. However early superbeetles had a flat windshield, ss a flat windshield is no guarantee of it being a standard beetle. 2. Spare tire. If the spare tire stands up in the trunk, it is a standard beetle, if it lays flat it is a superbeetle. 3.front suspension. Squat down next to a front tire and look at the gap between the top of the tire and the fender. If you can see a big coiled spring there, it is a superbeetle. The definitive way is to look at the first two digits of the serial number, which is in three places: lower left corner of the windshield, stamped on the tunnel under the back seat, and on a plate next to the latch plate for the engine cover. 11 = standard beetle 13 = Super Beetle
What is the difference between a 72 vw beetle and a 72 super beetle?
