Our S beetle is very much a hybrid, no where else in the world is there another the same.

Re: for anybody restoring or working on a '71 SUPER BEETLE
One of the time's VWSA used the Super beetle term in their marketing, was for the 1967 model year. The 1500 beetles came with disk brakes at the front and four stud wheel rims. They used the term to tell the people that it was something special.
