Also, visible at /vehicle_676922.html shows that it has the catalytic converter.

So brand new, 1976 Volkswagen Convertible.

Again, the single tailpipe and catalytic converter were new for MY1975

Hmm... :think: I need to research this. I thought the catalytic converter came out on 1976 model year. Some import still runs with leaded gas as late as 1979. I drove a rental 1979 Subuaru that allows to use leaded gas while I had my 1972 SAAB 99E being serviced.

I have read somewhere that Californian laws required cat's MY1975, while the rest of the US followed shortly after. This is filmed in The Golden State.

Off-topic: In California today, a replacement catalytic converter will have to meet with the OBDII standards, even for an older (back to 1975) model

Edit: This 1975 brochure http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/75beetle/back.jpg shows Californian versions were made to run on un-leaded fuel, guess why...
