Dazed but mostly confused....
I'm currently in the market for a daily driver beetle/rat so today I went and had a look at a 1970 beetle.
On looking at the tags under the fuel tank i was amazed to find that the although its painted baby shit brown it was originally Antarctic white same
as my current ride.
The compliance plate had 4/70 and it had a vinyl covered dash.
Now the dilema, I went home and checked my compliance plate and it also said 4/70. When I originally purchased the car the rego said 1970 but on
asking around was assured it was in actual fact a 1969. Built in1969 delivered 1970. Chassis No. 1102 239 223
Is this correct as mine doesn't have a vinyl dash
PS Can the vinyl dash be removed ?
Thanks in advance. Kafer 69 (hopefully)

Ours is also 4/70 and the colour originally was antarctic white. It is a 'standard' model
Our dash is not covered with anything it is all steel. Maybe being a standard makes it have a different dash? Maybe yours had the dash put on
later.
Does yours have the moon shaped vents behind the rear side windows? Ours does not. It is smooth there.

Mine has no vinyl dash and no vents. From the chassis number it's a '70 as the third digit represents the the last number of the the year
of manufacture.
However mine has standard beetle seats no headrests, no lock on the glove box, no 1/10 mile indicators on speedo and no reflectors on blinkers. May
all be immaterial as the chassis number indicates '70. Maybe the Aust. beetles were the poverty pack ?
Anyone ?
