1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible
Garage Kept Motors is pleased to offer this clean and highly
original classic Bug. This car is originally from La Jolla,
California, owned by the first owner until 2003, when our client
purchased it and brought it to Michigan. 1979 marked the final year
of production for the classic beetle, making this example highly
sought after.
Right before acquisition 15 years ago, the original owner had the
car completely restored by a professional shop in San Diego with
58,900 original miles on the clock. In 15 years of ownership, our
client has put less than 10k miles on the car, and has always had
it routinely maintained. We have extensive service records (see
photos) from Holland Imports. Latest tune up was a full tune-up,
seals and gaskets replaced, brakes, belts, and hoses. Also has
brand new tires.
The car is finished in factory original Alpine White with white
seats and a white convertible top. All finishes remain in excellent
condition with seating surfaces recently replaced. This classic
Beetle is powered by the original, numbers matching 1585cc
Electronic Fuel Injected 4-Cylinder mated to the original 4-Speed
Manual Gearbox. Everything functions on the car and it starts/runs
exceptionally well.
As you will see from the Hagerty Valuation snapshot in the photos,
these cars continue to climb in collectibility. Being the final
production year, only a two owner vehicle from California, and full
restoration in factory triple white color combination, this is a
great value at the price offered here. Turn-key and ready for a new
garage to call home. Be sure to check out all the photos and video
on our main website: Garage Kept Motors. Call if interested or
e-mail with any questions. Thank you for looking.
