1974 Volkswagen Beetle Super review from North America
"A classic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My first car and the one I loved the most. 1974 was the best year for the Beetle (before the fuel injection models).
This car was black with red interior, and it was sharp.
I had to replace the muffler and steering rack when I owned it.
The rust (car was up in the north east) is what killed it. I wanted to have it restored and repainted, but money prohibited that.
The handling was great with good upgraded tires.
General comments?
Wish I had kept it.
