I have nothing against any beetle Early or Later style. I like them all. Early model arent the easiest things to come by around here. I would love to have an early model bug but one has to stay in his price range also. The U.S. military does not get paid all that well.

I don't bash late models, they have just as much as right to exist as the early models. However I'd prefer an earlier model for my own car. Late models are:

- not as classic in their look.
- lower quality from the VW factory, they just don't seem to hold up as well over time.
- too many US safety changes made lots of things get ugly,complicated, etc.
- 71-74 Supers have that godawful front steering setup

But having said that, I think that once VW finally put rack+pinion steering on the Supers in 75 they made it much better. The FI system on 75 and laters is good if maintained well. but I think the only late model VW's I'd want to own would be a standard FI model from 75-77 in good original condition.

If you got yours for free, you should be rejoicing they are not highly sought after
