About this 1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle

VIN: 1512203635

Most notable Volkswagen Beetle is the Super Beetle. Introduced in 1971, the Super Beetle was available as a hardtop (1971-1975), and a convertible (1971-1979). For ’71 and ’72, Super Beetles consisted of an improved MacPherson Strut suspension setup in the front, and a slightly lengthened body and frame. Starting in 1973, a curved windshield and flatter profile roof were implemented to help differentiate the model from the standard Beetle. While hardtop Beetles between ’71 and ’75 were available as Super Beetles or standard models, all convertible Beetles made between 1971 and 1979 were exclusively sold as Super Beetles, including some that were sold as 1980 models. The easiest ways to spot a Super Beetle are to check for a flat spare tire, or to look for the MacPherson Strut front suspension.
Has an aftermarket Pioneer receiver with CD model number DEH-P4900IB
I purchased Feb, 2019 from a lady in Leander, Tx that owned it for 10 years. She told me she purchased it from a man in California (was trailered to Leander)that had purchased it for his teenage daughter and she didn’t like it.
