Vehicle Detail

Up for auction is this 1978 Karman Edition Classic Beetle. This VW Convertible is the Champaigne Edition, which is a special edition that they did on some of the VW'S. This VW Beetle "Champaigne Edition" has the wood grain dash with the original working VDO clock in the dash. This car is from one of regular customers that is a proud owner of many VW'S and traded this in to make his pride and joy, Karman Ghia, complete. The exterior of the car is brown with a white top and white interior, This Beetle is a great running daily driving car. Because of the original fuel injection, it shifts very smooth thru all 4 gears and has a very stong 1600 cc engine. The interior is in very nice clean condition and the body is solid. The body of this car is stuctually solid, though it does have some rust.( I have included pictures of the rusted area's) the rust is definately in patchable positions not structuural. It could use some paint work, and the top will need to be replaced at some point, but it is in very presentable condition without it. This 1978 Super Beetle Vert originally came with air conditioning and though it seems to be missing some of the components to make the A/C complete we honestly feel like it won't be very hard to get it working properlly. This Beetle will make anyone a great little car. From your first VW daily driver to a custom project make it exactly how you want it!! Get it today...The value only goes up!!The actual odometer reads 053699. (a zero before the 5) This could mean that the odometer rolled and it started again or perhaps the odometer stopped working at some point. I can't be 100 percent on the mileage. We also have the birth certificate of the vehicle. The previous owner has VW make up a Birth Certificate for the vehicle which tells you the date it was made, it lists the vin number and some other interesting information. I am going to add the picture of the certificate. Last thing I have is the owners manual for this 1978 VW Beetle (glove box manual) which comes along with the warranty and maintenance guide. Obviously there is no warranty but it is original to the car and interesting to have along with it. We will make every effort to help in the transportation of the vehicle but it is the buyers responsibility to set up the pick up or the relocation of this vehicle. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. This car is used and sold as is. We are a dealership so the car is for sale on our lot. We reserve the right to end the auction early if for some reason the car should be sold before the reserve is met. Once the reserve is met we will consider the car to be sold and will take it off of our inventory list and consider it sold. You may have seen this car listed before, but the buyer did not take into consideration that the car would have to be picked up from it's current location in Jacksonville, FL. Please keep this in mind. Only serious bidders please!!! We have specialized in VW and Audi for over 45 years. If there is anything your looking for please feel free to contact us and we will try and get it on there for you. Thanks for looking good luck bidding!!
