[1302 eGroup] Re: Is It A Beetle Or A SuperBeetle?

>>( I say almost only because I can't understand the vin starting
with " 111" )<<

Well, Volkswagen did not assign a chassis number specicfic for The
Super Beetle until the '73 model year. Because of this, nobody knows
how many flat-windshield Supers were built. The V.I.N. on my Super
starts with "112". So Volkswagen left us a mystery.
