    Saw this at an estate sale this morning. Looked to be in excellent original condition, and the price seemed quite reasonable if you're into these at all. It was a rainy morning here today, which is a little unusual for us.

    What's he writing? '74s all had radial tires, by then.
    Weren't those still German made? If it's fuel-injected, he might sell it reasonably quick.
    After what I've been going through with modern cars lately, I wouldn't mind having a Beetle again

    There was a Superbeetle convertible I would love to have, down near where I used to work. Metallic blue with a white interior.

    According to Wikipedia, the first fuel-injected Beetle was for 1975. Beetles were exclusively German made until 1978, when production moved to other countries, primarily Mexico.
