This longer wheelbase platform offered a better overall suspension, turning radius, improved storage volume, and larger 1600cc engine. This 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible is finished in Alpine White over Opal White interior with a Light Ivory White top. Options include original 60 horsepower 1600cc flat-4 engine, 4-speed manual transmission, heater, rear defrost, adjustable headrests, 15” sport wheels, front disc brakes, Quartz electric clock, passenger visor vanity mirror, and Pioneer AM/FM cassette radio! This beautiful example has traveled only 35,568 miles from new and has only been repainted once in it original color! The interior and convertible top still appear to original! It has the original AJ-coded engine with single Solex 34 carburetor, and original full sized spare tire. The previous 2 owners account for the care and maintenance of this car for the last 17 years! In early 2010, the entire engine was treated to a full reseal and complete tune up. This included new cylinder heads, new pushrods, new heat exchangers, new header & exhaust system, new carburetor, fresh clutch kit, new engine tin, battery, hoses, Bosch spark plugs, plug wires, belt, and all new brakes! This came at a cost of nearly $3,200! Cars like this will make for terrific future investments! Super Beetle convertibles only made up about 2% of the total Beetle production, and the very last convertible ever made was also a triple white example just like this one. Today that vehicle is on display at Karmann’s museum in Germany. Don’t miss this great opportunity to have a virtually unmolested, original example such as this! Please feel free to call with any questions!
