This 1979 VW Super Beetle Karmann Convertible (built 03/1979) is being offered with a low reserve. It is a low mileage car (59,084) that spent most of its’ life towed behind a motor home. It still has the tow hitch attached to the front cross member. The body and floor pan are solid and rust free. Vehicle was rustproofed when new (Rusty Jones rustproof) and has held up very well. Color is # K6V – River Blue Metallic. This vehicle is in excellent condition, and maintains its fuel injection system. It starts fine and runs beautifully. The interior is in great condition with no tears in the upholstery. A new rubber floor pad has been installed and carpeted floor mats are in place. Clutch is good and the brakes and suspension have been freshened. All electronics work and the heater / blower are functional. Please see the list below of the reconditioning done to the car. The original convertible top is in good shape but the headliner may need attention. This vehicle needs minor tweaks to make it perfect. The car accelerates fine , handles great, and brakes well. You will not be disappointed with this vehicle. The 1979 Super Beetle Convertible is the last VW type 1 sold in the USA and has become very collectible.
