New to VW's and looking to pick up my first beetle. I'm aware of the differences between standard and super but noticed that the 71 super dashes are the same as the standards. given that this was the first production year would they have made them similar enough to match up standard fenders and hoods or are they still different?

Only 71 and 72 Supers have the traditional dash. 73+ Supers had the deep windshield which gave them room for a "proper" dash.

No Super front fenders will fit a Standard, and vice-versa.

The first generation Supers are just like a standard Beetle from the door hinges back, everything else forward of that, sheet metal wise, is different.
