Volkswagen Super Beetle 1979
Description
1979 VW Super Beetle Convertible<br> <br> We are excited to offer a bright Yellow 1979 VW Super Beetle Convertible.<br> In the United States, 1979 was the last model year in which buyers could purchase a unique classic Beetle Convertible. The hardtop Beetle sedan had already disappeared from the U.S. market after 1977, leaving the convertible as the final Beetle offering. Some late-production cars were sold in 1980, but they were considered leftover 1979 models. The final Karmann-built Beetle convertible came off the production line in January 1980.<br> <br> This VW Super Beetle is fun to drive with ease of shifting and cruising along with top up or down.<br> <br> Key Specifications<br> <br> Feature 1979 VW Super Beetle Convertible<br> Engine 1,585 cc air-cooled flat-four<br> Horsepower About 48 hp at 4,200 rpm<br> Torque About 73 ft-lb at 2,800 rpm<br> Transmission 4-speed manual<br> Drive layout Rear engine, rear-wheel drive<br> Front suspension MacPherson struts with coil springs<br> Seating Four passengers-Black Interior<br> <br> The 1979 Super Beetle Convertible retained the classic Beetle personality: simple mechanicals, rounded styling, upright seating, and a distinctive air-cooled engine sound. Its convertible body was built by Karmann, the German coachbuilder long associated with Volkswagen convertibles. Compared with earlier Beetles, the late Super Beetle Convertible had more comfort-oriented features, a more modern windshield and dashboard, and the added appeal of open-air driving.<br> <br> Because many buyers recognized the 1979 convertible as the end of the classic Beetle era in America, some cars were purchased as collectibles from the beginning. Special trims and color combinations, including late-1970s editions such as Triple White, Champagne Edition, and Epilogue-style cars, helped reinforce that collectible image. Today, condition, originality, mileage, rust, documentation, and correct late-model details are major factors in the value of a 1979 Super Beetle Convertible.<br> <br> Our 1979 VW Super Beetle Convertible represents the closing moment of a beloved automotive era. It combined the charm of the original Beetle with the refinements of the later Super Beetle platform and the desirability of a factory-backed convertible. For collectors and enthusiasts, it remains one of the most recognizable and sought-after late air-cooled Volkswagens.<br> <br> Be the proud new owner of this fun bright Yellow VW Super Beetle!<br> <br> We welcome all appraisals and inspections!<br> <br> Call or email at:<br> <br> AdventureClassics@gmail.com<br> Call (727) 580-9919 or (727) 688-1148<br> Email: AdventureClassicCars.com<br> Website:<br> <br>
