I have a rare (2100 produced) 1978 Champagne II Edition Volkswagen Beetle Convertible For Sale. Great little car, I just don't have room for and need someone who will restore it and give it a good home. I would love to keep it and tinker around with it but I just don't have the time or space to do it. The car hasn't been tagged since 2011 and was running and driving when I parked it. I tried to start it recently and either the starter or solenoid needs replaced or the battery that's in it is too weak to start it but I assure you it ran great when parked. I can't see finishing the project like I had hoped and just don't want to delve into starting repairs on it without completing the entire project. Before I parked it I did put all new wheel cylinders and brakes on it, put fresh oil in, replaced some of the rubber trim and a few misc. things I'm probably forgetting. It does need the top replaced, it developed tears around the rear glass window so I removed it but do still have it, it's a defrost glass and the connection is still there. The remaining part of the top is in fairly good condition and doesn't leak that I can tell. I think I have all the trim for it and can't see that anything in particular is missing but if in doubt, ask. The Champagne II edition came in Peach Metallic Red but it has been repainted at some point in a similar but not quite exact color. It has spent several years in a garage until recently and there are a few small rust spots showing up but nothing too drastic. The mileage shows 30K but I'm not sure if it's the original engine or not. The white interior is in pretty good shape with no major tears or staining but the door panels need replaced. The dash has a couple of cracks in it and probably needs a cover. I'm not really a Beetle guy and don't know a lot about them but I'm happy to answer any questions or send pics of anything in particular you want just let me know. The car was a blast to drive and it's hard to stop smiling when you're behind the wheel. People have told me the car is pretty valuable due to it's rarity but at this point I just need it out of my driveway, so my loss is your gain. Buyer will either come pick up the car in person or make arrangements to ship it to them at their cost.
