  • Description

    This 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible is one of the last classic Beetles produced. A very clean and apparently well cared for car, it was recently donated to a local charity and is now for sale on their behalf at NO RESERVE.

     The paint is a non-original midnight blue but was the color change was done very well. Every door jamb, underpanel, and hidden area matches, and most rubber seals appear new as well. Unfortunately the right rear fender is scraped / dented and will require a bit of straightening. The top is original, and has a small hole. (see photo)

     Inside, the upholstery is all new but in a velour texture. It looks good, but nothing like the original. Carpets and door panels are nice, but the headliner has some stains. There is an aftermarket CD stereo that appears to work well, but the speakers are not connected. Possibly an unfinished installation.

     Mechanically it runs and drives well, but has an exhaust leak which sounds like its coming from the manifold. At low speed or idling it's not very noticeable, but under acceleration its hard not to. Tires look virtually new, but shocks seem a bit soft.

     A really nice Beetle Convertible with a few minor needs. Just in time for summer!
