Gateway Classic Cars of Nashville is proud to present this 1974
Volkswagen Super Beetle. The new larger Beetle was labeled the
1302/1302 S. The main purpose of a new larger Beetle was to provide
increased luggage capacity, which was increased by nearly 50%.
MacPhearson strut suspension was added, similar to what was used in
the Type 4, and the front track was also widened. The new
suspension layout allowed the spare tire to be positioned flat
under the trunk floor, although the car had to be lengthened
slightly to accomplish this. This also allowed a reduction in
turning radius making the already small platform, even more
maneuverable. To gain additional room, the under-dash panel was
lowered, allowing the fuel tank to be shifted rearward. From the
windscreen back, the Super Beetle was identical to its smaller
progenitor, except for having the semi-trailing arm rear suspension
as standard equipment. This Beetle comes to us in excellent
condition with an incredibly healthy stock engine that propels this
bug down the road. This car is so fun to drive. This one is one of
a kind. The interior has been upgraded with nicely padded gray high
back seats. Equipped with a more modern sound system this beetle
not only sounds great but runs with the best of them. This little
bug would make a great daily driver! Make it yours today by calling
