1974 Volkswagen Beetle Super review from North America
"Little yellow bee!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Short in wiring.
Rusty driver side floor pan.
General comments?
I bought my 74` Super for $1365. It was my very first car. My friends own and drive Beetles. At first I did not like the little "punch" buggies. But after driving one and working on them I knew this was the car for me! Not very fast but who cares! I can handle a curve at 60 very easily. Muscle cars may think I`m bumb for owning a little car like this but I love them! I will always own a little yellowjacket!
