1979 VW Karmann Convertible Beetle-----TRIPLE WHITE------- ORIGINAL CAR!-------------- 2 OWNER This is a garage Kept original unmolested remarkable piece of history in AMAZING CONDITION!!!!!! VETERAN OWNED!!!!! This is the Holy Grail of VW bugs. This was the last year made, triple white by its self is rare because they were limited production made in Osnabruck, Germany at the Karmann factory and then imported into the US. White top, white interior, and white exterior. The exterior is factory alpine white, and looks like original single stage enamel that shines as bright as the sun!!! CLEAN AND CLEAR VIRGINIA TITLE, READY FOR NEW OWNER. The first owner had this car for about 23 years and told us he put 15,000 miles on the car. We have owned this car for 10 years and babied like a child and put almost 10k miles on the car. The car currently shows 23,746 miles on the dash and we were told this is the original mileage but never did a background search or anything, but took the owners word for it as he had about 5 other Beetles that were collectors items and in the same condition. The engine is all original, Fuel Injected and runs like it should and has NEVER been rebuild. This car is original everything; Paint is extremely presentable and original white interior that is rip and tear free, soft white leather that is bright white. We had the top with a period like top. When we replaced the top we purchased the entire kit including all the cables, head liner and padding and kept the original glass window intact. We went through the bug mechanically and recently. We replaced all the vacuum lines and the small vacuum line plastic connectors, the heater hoses, the fuel pump, the alternator belt, the battery, and we replaced the battery box and one floor pan due to a leaky battery a small amount of rust that no longer remains. All work was done by a professional repair shop that specializes in antique restorations. The brakes have been completely reworked, and had an original looking type radio that mimics the original stock am/fm radio, but when you turn it is completely digital and ipod/mp3 input ready with a connector in the glove box. It has two 5" speakers in the door that work great. The car has been meticulously detailed, shined, polished, buffed and waxed and is truly a head turner. This car is a perfect example of what a garage kept, well maintained, appreciated 33 year old car should look like. Its a 2 owner, original mileage car that runs, drives, shifts smooth and looks incredible. Everything works as it should right down to the original quartz clock. There is no visible rust on the beauty, but inside the bumpers have some surface rust , that can be cleaned. The engine compartment also has some surface rust only, but nothing that cannot be cleaned off. Other than those minor spots, she is 98% rust free. Email me if you would like to see this car, or have any questions. I encourage you to see the car, or analyze as many pics as possible. Please do your homework, to make sure this is the car for you. I have done my best to describe this car as careful as possible. This is an AS-IS sale, with no warranty since it is a 33 year old car. I have been using ebay for many many years, and my 100% feedback and high transaction volume, show my respected reputation. MY RESERVE PRICE IS LOWER THAN MY BUY IT NOW but this car will SELL for the BUY IT NOW or HIGHER because the BUY IT NOW is much cheaper than any comparable car of this quality that is currently listed on ebay!! Please, DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 5 EBAY TRANSACTIONS. YOU MUST CALL AND SPEAK TO ME FIRST OR I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID. Thanks for understanding as there are a lot of people who have larger eyes than their wallets.
