This 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible, draped in an eye-catching vibrant purple paint, decked out with 15-inch black coated alloy wheels and tires measuring 165/80R15, it's clear this classic beauty has no intention of fading into the background. Sporting a sleek black cloth convertible top with a glass rear window, every ride promises to be nothing short of spectacular, top up or down. But it's not just any Beetle; this one's a piece of history, marking the end of an era as one of the final Beetle convertibles to roll off the line.
Step inside to find a black interior that perfectly marries modern updates with the vehicle's soulful heritage. Bucket seats beckon passengers to a world where the latest tunes can stream through a JVC head unit with Bluetooth connectivity, all while surrounded by the nostalgia of original gauges and a ticking clock. The rear seats hide a large speaker box, with additional Pioneer speakers in the front kick panels, setting the stage for endless musical journeys.
Tucked under the rear seat, as proudly indicated by its VIN, the heart of this Beetle thrums with life: a 1600 CC engine. Though not the original, this spirited Brazilian replacement block, paired with a resilient 4-speed manual transmission, hums a tune of unwavering reliability. The switch to dual carburetors from the original fuel injection system, coupled with an independent suspension at both ends, prepares this Beetle for journeys both leisurely and adventurous. The drum brakes on all four corners, a single exit exhaust, and an aftermarket muffler, together with a neat engine bay sporting a new distributor and fresh paint, underscore a mechanical readiness for the open road.
