It weighs 2028 lbs. This is a 1971. It needs a little work but nothing major. My current problem is that it appears that a super beetle can not be raised up for more road clearance. I think I\'ll document the hitch setup. I have a Blaine Merrill through the bumper hitch and a blue ox tow bar (from Ebay) so far but not yet installed. Update 10/18/05. Well after quite a discussion on the net the solution to getting more road clearance on a Super Beetle was to buy a set of rear air shocks from JC Whitney. It was also pointed out that the front ends on a Super Beetle are weak. A kit is available form JC Whitney to add reinforcements to the front end. I purchased a Blue Ox tow base plate also. There are 2 base plates for VW bugs. BX3810 is for a Standard Beetle and BX3809 is for a Super Beetle. It should be noted that the preferred Beetle for off road conditions is the standard beetle. To be continued...This album won\'t be finished until Dec as parts come in.
