introduction of the New Beetle
decades later. This quality example
is a pleasure to own and show. The exterior displays classic
Volkswagen style. The brilliant
green metallic finish is in
exceptional condition throughout
this well-restored Beetle. You have
to look for the few flaws, note the
ding above, just behind the driver's
door. Open the door to 1979. The tan
upholstery is in very good condition

shown above on the rear seat. The dash displays the original

the clock. The VW Beetle was one of
the most useful designs in the
history of automobiles. This classic '79 Beetle Convertible
rides on an 88-inch wheelbase. Just over 21 million Beetles were
produced. It is a cultural
phenomenon and icon to this day. The paint shows very well
throughout. There are some minor
imperfections on closer inspection
of this otherwise quality paint. The tan soft top seals up well
throughout, there is one small tear
that has been sealed with silicone. The 1585 cc engine is factory rated
at 48 horsepower. This engine
compartment is clean and in good
condition throughout, receiving
regular maintenance. A new fuel pump
and lines have recently been
installed. The doors, engine cover, and hood
open and close correctly. The door panels are clean and
detailed. The door undersides are in excellent
condition. The trunk is in good condition
throughout, complete with the spare
tire/wheel. The undercarriage looks to be solid
throughout, displaying the original
flooring.
