It looks just like my mother's 1972! I've never seen one that is the same color before .gif ":)") -- Last edit: 2009-01-16 16:10:36 |

The 1974+ bumpers are different and placed higher, so I would say it's a 1973 car. About the colour, I think in these cases it's not easy to be sure about the correct shade they have. |

@taxiguy: are you sure, that the colour was tropical-green? it was released in summer 1973. |

It's at least very similar, if not exactly the same. See for yourself, this is her '72: http://i39.tinypic.com/2e0k01j.jpg |

 the colour of your mum's car is very similar to that on in the pic above. i am grumbling, if its tropicalgreen or not. it looks so, but as i know, it was not available in 1972 - perhaps for the us-market? does your vw still have the original sticker with the colour-code, the silvermetallic one? its somewhere inside, but i dont know its place in a 1302 super beetle. if i remember correctly, this sticker sat at my fathers 1968+ VW 1300 on the a-pillar, in the door-space. but this was 32 years ago... the k 70 originally has this sticker in the trunk, on the inner side of the left fender. |

Ingo- Sorry for the late response, the car has been covered in snow and it was only today that it thawed and I could get inside to find the code. I found the VIN number in two places (that is what you are talking about right?) This is it: 1122144579 Date of Manufacture: 09/71 |

no problem .gif ";)") no, i dont mean the aluminium-plate with the vin-number (o.k, with that you can get a vehicle-identify-document with a few details at the volkswagen museum in wolfsburg. but i doubt to trust them. i have seen some heavily wrong ones). i mean the small silver-coloured paper-sticker with the colour-code-number. every vw had it somewhere (if it was not removed sometimes), but i dont know, where the super beetle has it. -- Last edit: 2009-02-08 21:34:30 |

Hmmm... I'll have to check again then, though the car has a few replaced parts from when it was in an accident sometime in the 1980s, so I can't garuntee it will be there. And even if it is, it has been nearly 40 years and it will probably be faded or ripped. But, I will look. |

I just checked and I found three stickers. Two were just service record stickers, and the other was so torn and faded it was unable to read, I imagine that's the one you're probably talking about unfortunately  |
