For Sale: 1979 Volkswagen Beetle in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

Final year of German production marks this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible as part of the exclusive "Triple White" special edition. Alpine White paint covers the iconic curves and rounded fenders of this enduring classic, complemented by a crisp white canvas convertible top with glass rear window. The distinctive profile sits atop 15" wheels wrapped in 165SR15 tires, creating the unmistakable stance that defined a generation. Chrome bumpers and trim pieces add just the right amount of flash against the clean white backdrop, completing the timeless exterior appearance of this air-cooled legend.

White vinyl bucket seats define the clean, straightforward interior aesthetic. The minimalist dashboard houses simple instrumentation that gives all necessary information without excess complication. An AM/FM cassette player provides soundtrack options while cruising with the top down. Floor-mounted shifter puts all four gears within easy reach. The door panels feature convenient pockets, and the front seatbelts add a measure of safety to this vintage machine. Every aspect of the cabin maintains the unfussy, functional design philosophy that made these cars global icons.

The 1600 CC flat-four engine mounted in the rear employs electronic fuel injection for improved reliability and performance over earlier carbureted models. A 4-speed manual transmission delivers power to the VW transaxle that drives the rear wheels. The MacPherson strut front suspension works with the independent rear suspension to provide controlled handling characteristics. Drum brakes handle stopping duties, while manual steering delivers direct road feedback. The rear-engine layout provides excellent traction and the unique mechanical symphony that only an air-cooled Volkswagen can produce.
