Vehicle Description
With its triple-white appearance, strong/trusty drivetrain, and
overall sunny personality, this pristine 1976 Volkswagen Beetle
convertible is always up for fun - which makes is one of the most
desirable anytime classics out there for the money.
America adopted the original VW as part of the counter-culture, but
this one goes a bit more upper class in its appearance. The
professional re-application of the factory-correct Light Ivory
paint gives this one a terrific shine. And the pristine condition
of the white vinyl folding roof is further proof that this VW has
received all the right care and investment over the years. And
because this car looks like it's ready for the country club's white
party, the bumpers, sweeping side trim, and upgraded wheel package
is like great jewelry added to the snowy presentation.
When you open the door, you see the white leatherette interior to
complete the very desirable triple-white package that this Beetle
was born with. Just like the exterior, you can tell there has been
the right care and investment in keeping this pristine color
looking its best. And that also means this VW looks fantastic with
its top up or down. Best of all, there is black carpeting, so you
don't have to worry about dusting your shoes off before hopping in
and going for a drive. There's just something cool about holding
the grippy factory steering wheel with Wolfsburg crest in the
center, grabbing the gearshift, and watching the singe VDO gauge.
This driving attitude is heightened further by the high-back bucket
seats that came on the later models are particularly comfortable
for all-day cruising. But as much as this looks like it is built
for fun, there is an underlying feeling of serious sturdiness that
comes from decades of VW building these cars correctly.
Power comes from the VW's sturdy 1600cc flat four, but fuel
injection was an interesting late addition to the Beetle. So those
who like to have a little distinction in their classic motoring
will enjoy this, especially with all the major components present
and the critical duct work intact. It's linked to the sturdy and
versatile four-speed manual transmission, which allows you to get
the most out of the motor. As many VW fans already know, this is a
Super Beetle. That means an improved steering box, bigger brakes,
and a new MacPherson independent front suspension. So for those who
want to drive their classics, this is one of the nicest ways to
experience a vintage VW.
This convertible is truly complete, right down to the original
window sticker, owner's manual, and even the original sport wheel
is in the trunk. It's a vintage droptop that's premium, affordable,
and a turnkey entry into one of the friendliest car circles around.
