1971 Volkswagen Beetle Super review from North America
"A car you cannot go wrong with, its strong for the size, cheap, reliable and a part of history"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator burnt out, replacing it was 70.00 dollars.
General comments?
Well I have a race engine and it handles nicely. I bought the engine for 700, but it burns out new cars easily.
It is a bit loud, but it's not too bad.
