are you sure? the smaller tail lights make me think it’s a ‘72... it also doesn’t have the ‘74's enormous bumper.

its about a 71- later, it has the under window gills, and the large, but not massive tail lights before 73, and the pre 74 bumper........

You sure? I thought they came on in 1972. because I was told by my dad (a 73 owner back in the day) that the difference between 72 and 73 was the elephant tail lights.

Pictured: 1972 with moon vents.

Lots of interesting VW-related stuff there (or used to be there via Google maps).....and an Audi Munga(?)!!!! And a vette, looking very out of place.

That tail light has been crushed in with the fender. I had a 72 and it is a later model.

‘73 it has the larger taillights, it’s just the one we can see is broken. The ‘72 tail light assembly does not sit flush on the fender.
