Vehicle Description
This 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible has an awesome sense
of style and the right subtle upgrades for true individuality. It
makes for the ideal wind-in-your-hair classic.
The original Beetle had a spirit of camaraderie and this one seems
to embody that. We're told it was restored by a father and son some
time ago, and then it was with a family friend for the last dozen
years. The overall presentation has its attraction rooted in being
a driver-quality and driver-ready car. The idea with this one is
being about to enjoy a fun classic drop-top from one of the final
years for this icon. They have given it some personal touches,
including the turbine-style wheels that are great for fitting
better modern tires. And we bet you'll also budget to upgrade other
features to make this VW even more personal. So you may update the
color to something more vibrant or add custom tail lights, but the
heart of the appeal is a drop-top built on automotive passion and
German build quality.
The white roof looks good against the white body, and when you take
it down, the creamy white interior is even more distinctive. So you
have a very unique take on the triple-white presentation. These
Super Beetles have an updated dash that gives you a better layout
without losing the classic VW single VDO gauge. And there are some
nice details upgrades, like the dash pad and parquet floor layout.
And there's a nice driver's feeling from the well-contoured
high-back bucket seat and sports steering wheel with Wolfsburg
crest at the center.
The air-cooled motor has a hypnotic hum, and the 1600cc unit was
the largest of the series. In fact, the twin-port fuel-injected
example seen here was the final evolution of the Beetle. It makes
for a car that fires up easily and idles nicely. Plus, you'll
really like the confident feel of the clutch action and four-speed
manual transmission. It makes for a quality cruiser, and this was
made for driving. After all, you have the modern cruising tires,
and the Super Beetle was built with an upgraded front suspension
for better enjoyment.
The sale comes complete with build receipts, maintenance records,
and restoration photos. This is the drop-top VW that has a history
of love, and now it's looking for you to give it some love, too.
