FAQ 25
Question: I have a 1972 Beetle. First of all, how do I tell what size/type engine do I have? Secondly, how can I tell if the car is a SuperBeetle? Thanks. Answer: I'm not quite sure how to tell Beetle engine sizes. There is an engine number just below the generator/alternator stand. I don't have a table of those numbers, but I think I've seen some online. It turns out that a US 1972 is almost certainly 1600 cc. The Super Beetle has a deeply curved windshield, and Macpherson struts in the front end (instead of shock absorbers and torsion bars/ball joints). The normal Bug windshield is only slightly curved, and is only about 3 or 4 inches from the steering wheel.
