a 1302 is a strut front end Beetle what we call a Superbug
a 1303 is also a strut front end but has a curved front screen or what we call a L Bug

I alway thought a Superbug had a curved screen!!
Now I have no idea what I have,
even the year [1976] is in doubt.
Flat screen for a flat head.

That was a 1976
Yes it was a standard
a 1975 was a L bug with rack and pinion
There is a Crown riding on this

The 1300 was a standard Beetle made from 1971>
They had drum brakes all round... Swing rear axle..
The 1302 was a SuperBug - flat windscreen - flat spare tyre-
IRS rear end- McPherson front suspension. [struts]
The 1303S was a SuperBug - Curved windscreen - flat spare tyre - IRS rear end - McPherson front suspension. [struts]
The 1976 standard Beetle had a flat windscreen- upright spare tyre - IRS rear end - ball joint torsion bar front end.
VW kept the best until LAST --- IMHO..Of course...
ALL Beetles in the USA from 1969> had IRS rear suspension
& DRUM brakes.... Standards & supers - both 1600 engines..
