1979 marked the final year for the beloved Beetle convertible in
the U.S., making these last-production Super Beetles especially
desirable among enthusiasts. Known worldwide for its charm,
reliability, and personality, the Beetle isn't just a car, it's a
companion. Few vehicles have inspired such loyalty and affection
across generations.
This particular example is finished in classic black with a tan
convertible top and matching interior, a combination that rare
balances elegance and fun. The car has been shown and awarded, a
testament to its presentation and care. Drop the manual top, turn
the key, and you're immediately part of a tradition of smiles,
waves, and conversations that follow these cars wherever they
go.
Under the decklid sits the fuel-injected 1600cc flat-four engine,
recently rebuilt and showing approximately 6,100 miles since
completion. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, it delivers
that signature light, engaging Beetle driving experience. The
smooth hum of the motor and the precise feel of the gearbox remind
you why these cars are so loved, not for speed, but for pure
driving joy.
Owning this Beetle isn't just about having a vintage Volkswagen,
it's about enjoying an experience that never goes out of style.
From Sunday cruises to car shows, this convertible is ready to
create new memories with its next caretaker.
This 1979 Super Beetle offers a timeless blend of presence,
comfort, and style. From its luxurious Black finish to its refined
