Let's pool our resource here to identify the model years for these Brazilian Volkswagen Typ 1 series 'Fusca' for the IMCDb. :smile:

I'll start here: I found one from WikiCommons web site at File:VWB 1500 Fusca.jpg.

The 1.5 engine (as seen on the photo) was available between 1970 and 1975, and taillights match with the mid 1970s model, about 1974 or 1975.
