For Sale: 1974 Volkswagen Beetle in Bennington, Vermont for sale in Bennington, VT
Vehicle Description Volkswagen introduced the upgraded Super Beetle in 1971 to be sold alongside the standard Beetle.
The main difference was a new front end, with MacPherson strut suspension replacing the standard Beetle's torsion-bar setup.
The change improved ride and handling and yielded enough extra front trunk room to allow the spare tire to lay under the floor, versus standing upright in the standard Beetle.
The 1973 Super Beetle added a curved windshield and new dashboard not shared with the standard Beetle, along with a slightly flatter roofline.
The Super Beetle is slightly longer, due to different (but lookalike) front bodywork.
Both the standard and Super Beetle used the same powertrain.
The 1974 Beetles gained larger, protruding bumpers to meet the new federal 5-mph bumper standards.
This 1974 Volkswagen Type 1 Super Beetle is believed to be a mostly original Southern California car with a repaint from previous ownership.
The seller is representing the vehicle on consignment.
He explains that since the car last changed hands, it has received a full detailing and new battery.
The Beetle's owner believes he may be the car's third owner, and he added just about 40 miles since purchasing it through Hemmings in mid-2022.
