Vehicle Description
Beautifully kept original with just 41,000 miles on the odometer!�
Super solid, strong easy running engine, and only one repaint in
its original color of Mars Red along with new convertible top!�
Final year these terrific road going VW's were imported to the
United States!� Very collectible and super fun to drive!� Act
quickly on this one!� The Karmann Super Beetle was introduced in
1971 and saw a host of changes, and improvements, nearly each and
every year it was produced through 1979. This longer wheelbase
platform offered a better overall suspension, turning radius,
improved storage volume in the trunk, and larger 1600cc engine with
Bosch fuel injection. This 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible
is refinished in factory code correct Mars Red (Marsrot) over Black
vinyl interior with new Light Ivory convertible top! Features
include the 1600cc flat 4 fuel-injected engine, 4-speed manual
transmission, heater/defrost, rear window defogger, optional
auxiliary electric heater, adjustable headrests, day/night rearview
mirror, 15" sport wheels, Quartz electric clock, passenger visor
vanity mirror, upgraded Alpine AM/FM/CD radio with Jensen door
speakers, intermittent wipers, and dual outside mirrors! This
beautiful example has traveled only 41,357 actual miles from new
and remains exceptionally original with exception to one repaint
and new convertible top! It was recently refinished due to small
chips it had acquired over the years. The interior along with the
convertible top boot, are original to the car and continue to show
extremely well! It is a testament to its meticulous lifelong care
from the past owners! It has the original engine with optional fuel
injection, owner's manual, and original full sized spare tire &
jack. This vehicle survives with an incredibly solid chassis, pan,
battery storage area, and front luggage compartment! A close
inspection with showcase a perfect chassis VIN stamp, spot welds at
crimp points, floor pan, and jack points! Cars like this will make
for terrific future investments! Super Beetle convertibles only
made up about 2% of the total Beetle production, and rare, low
mileage survivors such as this one are becoming very difficult to
find. Don't miss this great opportunity to have a virtually
untouched, unmolested, original example such as this! Please feel
free to call with any questions!
