Here we have a VERY nice 1978 Volkswagen Beetle convertible CHAMPAGNE EDITION.  100% original car with 54,000 original miles.  Absolutely zero rust ever and original paint.  The interior is excellent.  The underside of the car (floor pan) is literally perfect.  It drives very well.   The convertible top (and its headliner) are in amazing condition.

This was a WESTERN U.S. car until I brought it to PA a month ago.  I have a CLEAN Pennsylvania ANTIQUE title in my name.

Because this is an original 46-year-old car that had been driven 54,000 miles, it’s had its share of stone chips that the original / previous owner touched up over the years.  If you consider those to be “flaws”, they’d be virtually the only ones on the car.

There is a notebook in the glovebox of all the maintenance that had been done through the years.  It’s clearly been well maintained.  It has been stored INSIDE its entire life and comes with a car cover and a battery tender.  There is also a boot for the convertible top.  The rare alloy wheels are in excellent condition, as are the tires.

 Here is the history of the car as I know it:  The original owner passed.  Her attorney, who was also a judge, purchased it from her estate.  He was an avid car and motorcycle collector; a total fuss-budget about maintenance, and he just loved old eclectic automobiles.  He, himself, passed this past November and willed all his vehicles to his nephew.  The nephew lives about 200 miles from the uncle’s home and wanted to sell all the cars to one buyer to save himself a lot of hassle.  I collect, restore and sell old 4x4 trucks and he had one I wanted.  I had to buy them all to get it, so now I’m in the process of liquidating the others.

 The way you see the car, is exactly the way I purchased it, save for a good washing because it got dirty in transit across the country.  I know very little about these old Vee-Dubs.  Although it runs and drives very well, I would suggest running (or draining) the old gas, re-lubricating everything, servicing its components, etc., just to be completely confident in it.

 If there is a question you’d like answered or something you think I’ve missed here, please reach out.  My name is Marc.  I can be reached at (484) 895-9870.  I prefer phone calls over texts and emails, as I don’t always have time to check them.

 I own a towing company and can transport this car within 300 miles of Bethlehem, PA, at the buyer’s expense.  I also can help with setting up transport beyond the 300 miles.  Please check on transport cost prior to bidding / buying.

 This vehicle must be paid for, in full, prior to being released.  Any (bank) checks must clear my bank prior to release of the vehicle or its title.

 

Thanks for looking.
