I had a 1972 Super beetle. I dragged it all out....it would hit 120 in to time. I paid 1300 dollars for the motor..that was 1991, you can buy a regular motor for a bug rihgt now for 300 dollars.
ANy way.I had real wide tires on the back..50's as a matter of fact, and real narrow tires on the front. I put chevy 5 lug adapters on it,,,and ran normal rims.
it was a bad ass bug.
Did you know that a bug will go like a four wheel drive truck? They are great for OFF roading
