What year is my super beetle?
 

I have a Super Beetle that I'm not sure what year it is. There is no
registration and inside the drivers side door the sticker says:
Manufactured by Volkswagenmerk AG 12/73

Would this be a 1973 or 1974 bug?

'74.

Pull the back seat up.
Stamped in the center tunnel you will find the VIN.
It should be in the format:

134 2XXX XXX

"3" indicates SuperBeetle
"4" indicates 1974 model year

If you are really interested in the mechanics of it,
buy this manual:

They have other titles on that site too.

You can search eBay also for : VW Manual (or similar)
