Nowadays an extremely rare version: the "Jeans Käfer". At least a basic 1200, but "pimped" with jeans-cloth for the seats and modern orange painting. |

'Jeans' was the last Beetle model sold in Finland in 1974/75. Not so rare here I think. |

Try to find nowadays the "Jeans-Käfer"-spec parts, then you'll recognize its rarity. Remember, that it was made around the "energy-crisis" 1974, when VW and the other European car-makers have used the worst metal-plates ever, bad recycled stuff, made in Italy and the GDR. It was rusted away as hell, often after 3 years you had holes in the body. The majority of the cars of these years were wrecked and crushed at least 1981-1983, often much earlier. -- Last edit: 2008-09-25 21:35:38 |

Presentation of the Jeans Käfer was in September 1973 (so model year 1974). |

With these rims, and surely not the Tunis color of 1974 'S761 Jeans', it's a 1975 'S744 Jeans' in Orange color |
