Vehicle Description
1972 Super Beetle was purchased in California and driven by my
daughter and son in law while stationed at Camp Pendelton. It
caught fire when the fuel filter ruptured and damaged the engine.
We shipped it to Michigan in 1998 and put a new crate motor in it.
It was stored until it went to a painter a few years later. He had
disassembled it (windows out, all the trim off, etc) and painted it
when he had serious health problems. It was covered and pushed
aside in his garage until 2018 when I retrieved it and started the
gradual process of putting it back together. The following was
done: -new fuel pump and carburetor -electronic ignition -new
brakes including master cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes, drums,
and the flexible brake lines -transaxle fluid changed -gas tank
cleaned and inspected. Vent lines removed, capped or rerouted per
the J'bugs recommended process. New level sending unit. -relocated
fuel filter out of engine compartment -complete new interior
including headliner. Seats rebuilt for additional support. New
track slides. -glass reinstalled, including new windshield
-heater/defroster fan rebuilt -new shocks and struts, including
strut springs -tune up on engine. The mechanic that did the tune
up, shocks and struts asked to remove the aftermarket carburetor
and allow him to rebuild the original carburetor as he believed he
could get a better tune. This is a solid, original steel, no rust
ever car. It was always in California or Arizona until we brough
tit to Michigan in 1998. With the new shocks and struts, and a
great engine tune, it drives really well. With the new interior,
the door mounted speakers were removed and not replaced, so the
stereo does not work. the dash pad does have cracks. I've had 3
bugs, and this one always was the best driver. Being the last of my
Bugs, i will include any spare parts, extra parts and numerous VW
air cooled manuals I have (if wanted). Please Note The Following
