This is the 1970 Standard that was brought from Cali.
Finally got around to taking some pics and wanted to post.
Thanks for looking!
Anyone know of the PINK DOT " the supermarket that delivers?"
Hope to get more uploaded later this evening....

Adding the plates:
 Is this JULY of 1970?
I couldnt locate a plate under the back seat... is there supposed to be one there too?

Those license plates would be cool on a post-war split.

I feel bad for what that poor bug had to go through in its past years....
Atleast now it has a good home. What are your plans for it?

this bug is gonna get the TLC it deserves... but, one day at a time, it needs alot more work than the super beetle I am doing now, which will be going in for some body work and repaint.
First thing is that I have to repair the ignition cylinder, as I went to crank it and the whole thing came out...
I will be adding pics as I go along, and I am setting up a cardomain webpage as well.
thanks for the posts!
any suggestions are welcome!

I have been working on the '71 Super Beetle...
I am waiting on an ignition cylinder for the '70, hopefully by this weekend I can get this one to start.

Updating Post:
worked on teardown of interior this afternoon.
Looks like original color was a white ... gotta look at codes for that year... doubt it will be that though when I am done.
Tarboard had soaked up quite a bit of water, the ones under the seat came out quite easy, the front ones will need some heat to get them loose. hope to work on them tomorrow and then take a wire wheel to it and see how much is surface rust...
If you see anything that I should be concerned with, let me know...
