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.
Yes, a 1972 convertible Super Beetle body can fit on a 1969 chassis, but some modifications may be necessary. The Super Beetle has a different front suspension and some structural differences compared to the standard Beetle chassis of 1969. Additionally, you'll need to address any discrepancies in mounting points and wiring harness compatibility. Overall, while it's possible, careful planning and adjustments will be required for a proper fit.
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.
