Many people believe that 67 was a good year because of the increased power, 12 volt electrical, new headlights/old bumper configuration. I prefer anything before 67. Power is an easy, affordable upgrade in Beetles. And I argue that Super Beetles with their MacPherson strut suspension actually handle BETTER than standard Beetles. Also got more cargo space due to the strut redesign.
