The Beginning

This goal of this is to be a successful blog about my dealings with my wife and I's Super Beetle.

First and foremost, here is a picture some 30 minutes before I bought it.

The color is some lime green.  I haven't found a paint code in brochures.  I think this car started life as Iberian Red based upon some flaking paint.  We shall see more of that later I am sure.

Here is another picture of the Super next to my Aunt-in-law's red convertible New Beetle.  It shows how lime green this car is.  The odometer reads 44,000mi.  I am guessing it is in actuality at 144000.  The engine is code AH and it is a 1971.  According to The Samba the AH is from 1973-1974, so I am guessing this is the second motor in this car and is good for 46 gross HP.  It has a 4 speed manual.

In short, it is a running, driving car that needs some work.  I hope to show that work here.
