I have a 1971 Super Beetle for sale right now. Great shape...it's an everyday use kinda car. Many, many, many updates, additions, replacements, etc as to be expected in a car so old. Very little rust. It's in Coquitlam, BC. $4000 obo. Reliable and comfortable. Selling due to growing family. Email if you'd like more details and/or pictures. jbissonette@hotmail.com
