Beautiful and strong running 1978 Volkswagen Superbeetle Convertible. Lots of recent upgrades. Recently painted exterior, recent beige top with new black headliner. New upholstery front and rear, new carpeting. Battery almost new. Great tires and brakes. Engine runs super strong and starts without touching the accelerator. Manual transmission smooth with absolutely no slipping or problems of any sort. Glass good all around with original chrome trim. Door glass on these cars was never tight fitting from what I've been told, but both sides easily roll up and down. Heater blows hot air. Has Alpine CD player that works well. Overall a very attractive and mechanically solid classic that can be a daily runner or fun for weekends in the mountains or at the beach. Excellent gas mileage. Only issues I know of is that the cable that opens the trunk is not releasing and either needs adjusting or replacing. The plastic cover for the under dash wiring is missing but is a really cheap fix if you even care. None of this should scare you. This is a nice, classy, and super running example of a vintage classic sure to keep increasing in value. Checkout my Ebay feedback from over 10 yrs of buying and selling. I've done my best to describe the car. It is over 36 yrs old so bid accordingly. Important: I bought this car recently after moving to California from a seller from Az. I found out that due to a past conversion from the often troubled fuel injected system to the more reliable and easily maintained carb intake that the State of California will not allow it to be registered without a return to it's fuel injected beginnings. Only Stock engines meet their smog registration rules regardless of if the vehicle passes emission inspection! Also, in the State of Cal, you cant sell the car to another Californian unless it passes non-modification inspection. Therefore, best I can tell, I cannot sell the car legally to another Cal resident since it's not registered, even with its clean title. Therefore, PLEASE don't bid if you are a California resident! From the research I did, most States don't have any issues of this type, especially with a car that's a vintage classic and highly collectible. Feel free to message me with any questions. The title is clear. This is a great car that deserves to be driven and enjoyed, not sitting because it's got a carb like 99% of all vintage VW's do. Good Luck and enjoy!
