It was the 1970s, so no. One of my favorite memories from then was driving East on 126 and seeing the setting Sun centered perfectly in that round mirror. Then realizing a moment later it was setting into the air pollution, not the hills in the distance.
I just secured an option to buy a complete 36hp Beetle engine for $250 ('Ran when pulled'). The Superbeetle needs a 'refresh', and one option is a stroker 1776 but that would basically make it a race car. So I'm thinking an 1100 c.i. engine on a five speed. It's the Ecomodder thing to do. Prolly could get 50MPG. ....with a few tricks like ceramic topped pistons and extrude-honed intake manifold.
