The VIN, beginning with "110" indicates it's a 1970 Standard Beetle. It was the 54,212th VW Beetle made in the 1970 model year.
(Super Beetles weren't introduced until the 1971 model year.)
The "H" engine code indicates it's a '67 1500cc single port engine, which means that it was replaced somewhere along the way. The 1970 was offered stock with a "B" series 1600cc single port engine.
This doesn't mean that your engine is definitely a 1500cc, as it's possible that it was rebuilt to 1600cc.
