man that rocks!

now i've just got to work this trade out!

i checked out the 73 super i've been talking about. it has the 3 bolt lower sturt mounts. not a big deal though apparently.
now i've just got to get a trade or something worked out!

thanks for the input!

wasn't there a change in the steering from the 1302 to the 1303 and then changed again in 75. i thought that the 75 and later 1303's had a rack and pinion and the earlier had a stering box type i might be wrong

1975-79 model years had rack and pinion steering. I don't think there was a difference in steering from 1971-74 even though those years overlap the 1302/03 Supers.

(If I'm wrong, someone will correct me shortly.)

I believe the 1971 Supers did not have the collapsing steering column which I believe became mandatory in the US, and I also believe 1972 was the first year for the wiper stalk on the column. But I don't think those two items inherently made the steering different.

i think your correct...as far as i know and i have both a 71 parts car and my 74 super, the steering is the same. and it was the 75 and on supers with the R/P.

i think its a thing of personal taste, supers look great thx to their round little self, standards look awesome when there chopped and lowered, ive never senn a chopped SB and i think it would look wierd

chopped suppers only look weird when you take aot some crazy amount i took 2.5 inches out of my 74 and it looks good most people don't see it at first unless there into supers and such

Superb, got a pic of the Super? Would be interesting to see the chop. Hmm, 2.5" chop and lowered all around would not be too bad.

Personally, I had a 1303 that was a joy to drive! I miss that car!

I like the front suspension a whole lot better than the torsion arm setup.

Looking for a nice candidate now.

Standards...mechanically and cosmetically.

Mechanically?

Mechanically? :cool:

??Mechanically??

I think he is refering to the front suspension being easier (simpler) to work on than the super front end.

He might be refering to the Super's front suspension mechanically handling better the the standard beetles. :D

I wouldn't even agree with that! :) How many grease nipples does a super need?
