Vehicle Detail

1977 Triple White Champagne Edition VW Beetle Convertible. This is the real deal triple white champagne edition bug as you can see from the gold stripes along the bottom. This is a true collectors vehicle. This information was taken straight from ebay motors: The third trim level was the "special edition". The special editions had the same trim level as the deluxe model, but also employed special color combinations. In 1974, a gold convertible with black top was sold as the "Sun Bug". From 1977 through 1979, the "Triple White" edition had Alpine white paint, a white convertible top, and smooth Opal seat covers. In 1979, there was an "Epilogue" or "Triple Black" edition with black paint, black convertible top, and black interior - paying homage to the first beetle sedans which were all-black. In 1977 and 1978, VW issued one "Champagne Edition" convertible to each US dealership, also known as a "Special US Sales Campaign" model S723. This was essentially a "Triple White" convertible, but used a sand colored convertible top and had a set of four gold stripes running along the bottom of the doors and rear quarter panels. The 1977 model had faux burled elm dash inserts and the 1978 had faux rosewood dash inserts. Both had Opal colored vinyl seat (ribbon weave) and door panel coverings. Approximately 1000 total triple white S723 convertibles were sold in the U.S. Great condition inside and out. New front and rear brakes. New tires. Regular tune ups and maintenance with receipts for the last 3 years. Recently rebuilt stock fuel-injected air-cooled engine(under 3,000 miles on new engine, approximately 62,000 miles on the vehicle). Interior is like new. No rust. There is a small tear in the top that does not leak and has not been a problem in the 3 years I have owned the car. I love this car. It gets good gas mileage, fits anywhere and is loads of fun in the sun. Unfortunately, for me it is time for something bigger. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to own a piece of history. This is a classic and a rare find. There are many impostors, this is the real thing.
