Ahh.. not so! I have a 1971 Super as I said.. '70, '71, and '72 Supers had
flat windsheilds... all the good looks of a standard bug but with slightly
better handling up front... and some had disk brakes I do believe...
the '72 had a bigger rear-window and 4 sets of slots on the rear deck
and not 2, as in the '70 and '71 models. And from the spec sheets, the 
'71 Super had the most stock Horse Power of any 1600 air-cooled VW engine
made.. a whopping 65 HP! It went down to (I think) 50 or so the next year
(but I don't know why.. emmisions perhaps?)
