This is my 73 Super:

It's going back to stock once I get $$$.
Until then it's a daily driver.
Once I get brakes.
And new suspension.
And a horn.
And patch the floors.
Nothing a little bondo won't fix, right? :lol:
Seriously, it was a sweet deal as it cost me only $700. 8)

My first car was a 74 SB. I spent two years building it and totaled it less than 6 months after I got it finished.

Now, 16+ years later, I've got a 73 SB that'll get all the cool trinkets I couldn't afford at 16. :twisted:

I got my '71 Super one year ago this January. Boy has it been a fun and interesting year...

She's a great year round car but even better in the winter. I just installed the heater booster motors so she is nice and toasty!

Yes, it is the 73 Super Beetle in my signature. I am having a great time with it so far. I think I got a good one here. It needs work, but it will be up and running well in no time at all.

I will be posting progress when I can.

I have a '78 Convertible now, but 30 years ago in High School I used my brother's '72 Super.
My brother's '72 was purchased new by my sister,
she drove the hell out of it until Summer of '75 when she bought a Dasher Wagon to move to Alaska.
By the time I was using it in 78 it was pretty worn down, but still a blast to drive.
I would like to do a '72 German Look project next.

Mon Dec 08, 2008 8:23 am
