1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible powered by the VW 1.6 L ‘opposing-cylinder flat 4’ and backed by a 4-speed (manual) transmission. Actual mileage shows 91,680. The present owner purchased the Super Beetle 20 years ago and completed the restoration 3 years later.
PLEASE NOTE….ALL BIDS AND OFFERS MADE ON THIS VEHICLE WILL FOLLOW EBAY’S PROTOCOL OF PURCHASING. THIS MEANS THAT ONCE THE BID OR OFFER IS MADE OR ACCEPTED THE BUYER AGREES TO PURCHASE THE CAR IN “AS IS” CONDITION. CALL J.D. @ 410-937-0719 WITH ANY QUESTIONS.
The VW was repainted in the original white enamel, had a custom cloth interior and carpeting added, and a color matching convertible top with boot. Additionally, an Alpine AM/FM/CD 4-speaker stereo system was installed. There are no tears, broken seams, or rips. Owner is a non-smoker.
Although, when this VW was new it came with fuel-injection, it was converted to a carburetor (34-PINT-3) when the engine and transmission were rebuilt about 4 years ago. Only about 500 miles have been logged on the VW since then. It starts easily and runs well.
The body appears solid with little to no ‘bondo’, but it should be noted that rear sections of the floors were replaced (see photos). There does not appear to be any rust or bubbling coming through, but the restoration is starting to show some age here and there (please view all photos).
Everything electrically appears to work from the headlights to the wipers and stereo.
The stock suspension is in good condition and the 165/60R/15 Nexen radial tires are dated 2023. The aftermarket wheels are “Spirit of America”.
Owner is selling for personal reasons.
