Vehicle Description
This 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible sports a vibrant Mars
Red exterior that makes a bold impression. With only 61,186 miles
on the odometer, this Bug has plenty of life left. The iconic shape
is accentuated by gleaming chrome bumpers and trim, creating a
classic look that never goes out of style. A crisp white canvas top
provides the perfect contrast, ready to drop down for open-air
motoring. The 15-inch wheels wrapped in 165/80R15 tires offer a
sturdy stance, while the glass rear window ensures clear visibility
when the top is up.
White vinyl upholstery adorns the interior, creating a fresh and
inviting cockpit. The bucket seats provide comfortable support for
zipping around town or cruising down the highway. A floor-mounted
shifter for the 4-speed manual transmission puts control at your
fingertips. The dash features an aftermarket Sony radio, adding
modern audio capabilities to this classic ride. An aftermarket
steering wheel gives the driver a custom feel. Despite its compact
exterior, the Super Beetle's clever design offers surprisingly
ample space for driver and passengers alike.
A fuel-injected 1600cc engine powers this Super Beetle, known for
its reliability and spirited performance. The AJ147308 engine
casting number confirms its period-correct status, putting out 50
bhp - more than enough to motivate this lightweight classic. Bosch
fuel injectors and newer plug wires keep things running smoothly.
The 4-speed manual transmission offers precise shifts, while the VW
transaxle efficiently transfers power to the rear wheels.
MacPherson strut front suspension and independent rear suspension
provide a well-balanced ride. Drum brakes at all four corners bring
everything to a halt when needed.
