If it is a 71, you should also have a engine lid with two sets of vent holes, not 4 sets like the later models. Only 71s has the two sets

Model year 1971 (starting in August 1970) saw the introduction of the twin-port engine and the second pair of cooling vents on the engine cover. I believe 1969 and 1970 models had 2 sets of vents, while 1968 models had no vents.

Excuse my ignorance, what is the z-bar?

It is the name of the Bar in Tony's workshop....unfortunately it ran dry....or never ran

My '71 Beetle has the same "gold" colour, which I' m trying to preserve as much as possible.

People had different perceptions about that colour since back in the day.
You could start a fight on a school playground about that colour. I still remember the shouting: "that car is green!" "it's not green, that car is definitely yellow!"
The shouting would attract a bigger crowd, and everybody had his own serious perception/opinion on that colour.
