Is it a super?

Well, Are you happy now ?  Leave it alone and enjoy it.

Did you slam the hood the last time ? Try to get someone to hold the the release down while you try to open it.

I laughed out loud when i read that, but then i thought of how many bugs and buses i have gone throught to get ones that made me happy and i immediately shut up.   

Looks nice, told ya it was a super.  You doubt the Godfather's apprentice... 

It's o.k.....

Everybody confuses early supers.  They assume that all of the super beetles had the big padded dash and curved windshields.  For 1971-72 they had a flat windshield, and the flat dash to go with it, just like a standard.  The big tip off to me was the chubby nose, like i told ya.    I always tell people, i don't car what the seller says, open the trunk and look in.  If the spare tire stands up, it's a standard.  If it lays flat, it's a super.   

My first beetle was a green '72 Super.  Fun car, and i drove the hell out of it in my college days.

Well i did get the hood open ok last night. It was stuck or what ever. I did not slam it closed. With a couple good pulls of the hood latch while the wife pushed the lever in the glove box it poped open. I may have to adjust it some. As for the blinkers i believe i have found the problem. When the old glove box tore apart opening the hood i noticed that the emergency flasher switch / relay top had come off. After i find one and replace that expensive part it should be ok i hope or i will be calling you Rick and bringing it over to the shop. I figure if you can get the wiring running good on that old bus of yours this should be a sinch.

As for leaving it alone i will be doing that. The only thing i am going to do now is put a decent radio in it. Just can not find any thing good on the original am radio.
