Hi all,

So, bought my first bug. Maybe not the best bug I could have got, but still I am happy and I am sure there shall be plenty of enjoyment.

Anyway, I am a little confused. On the rego it is listed as a Superbug, but I was under the understanding that the Superbug was 71 and later, had Macpherson Struts and the spare tired was in a near horizontal position.

This bug while now having a custom kit and such on it, is a 7/70 model, has an upright spare and no Macpherson struts. Maybe it is a real mongrel after all...lol

Cheers...

Sounds to me it's a standard bug with front end ball joints same as mine with rear swing axles

It is a standard - definitely not a Super

What is the VIN number under the rear seat??

I have not checked all the numbers on the vehicle itself yet, but the vin/chassis number listed on the Rego is;

1102694682

If its the orange one with the carrera kit from your other thread then no it's not a superbug.

A 1500 70 beetle

Thanks Joel,

Yes it is that one, and I think you are right. Not a super and no longer a 1500 either. It has a reconned 1600 in it. If I get my way parts of the careera kit will be going too. Not going classic, but not keeping it that way either.

yeah not a fan of the carrera, look forward to seeing more photos
