Looking for a cute classic car that is sure to please anyone?
MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1978 Volkswagen
Super Beetle Convertible. Made in July 1978 at the Karmann factory
in Osnabr�ck, West Germany, this example is one of the last 1978
models. It has been lovingly cared for by the same owner for the
last 12 years! Finished in Mars Red, the paint and exterior trim
are in overall very good condition, but there are blemishes visible
on the trunk and the edge of the hood near the latch. The windows
are clear and intact and the backlight has a rear defroster grid,
while the lights are intact and haze-free. The headlights are even
hooded. This Super Beetle rolls on radials, sized 165R15,
surrounding standard factory vented wheels. All of the body panels
are straight and solid though the roof has a patch just beneath the
rear window that is only visible when the top is up. The cargo area
is in good order, the engine bay is very tidy and the bumpers look
good. Under that rear hood is a rebuilt 1600cc fuel-injected flat
four-cylinder engine mated to a rebuilt four-speed manual
transmission as stated by the previous owner. Inside, the newly
reupholstered black seats are in near-excellent condition, the
matching carpet looks very good, as does the one-piece instrument
panel with its VDO gauges. The original, four-spoke steering wheel
is present and the inner door panels feature flexible map pockets
for small-item storage. Addition storage is available in the
cubbies clustered around the shifter and center console. The mirror
glass, console and shifter all look good. Completing this interior
is a Clarion AM/FM stereo. Closed-car competition to this
Volkswagen in 1978 included Buick's Skyhawk, Chevrolet's Monza,
Dodge's Colt, Ford's Pinto and Mustang II, Honda's Civic, Nissan's
210, Oldsmobile's Starfire, Plymouth's Sapporo, Pontiac's Sunbird
and Toyota's Corolla. This Volkswagen is an ideal summer cruise
car, especially with a fuel-injected motor; just flip the top back
and go! Late �70s VW Super Beetle Convertibles are rare and this
car would turn heads at any cruise night or weekend cruise event.
People would likely pepper you with their own VW Bug tales. Take
this cute bug home today! This car is currently located at our
facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer
shows 89,733 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and
clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! CLICK HERE TO
