This Volkswagen Super Beetle got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible shows 36k miles and is powered by a fuel-injected 1600c engine paired to a 4-speed manual transaxle. The car was acquired by the selling dealer in 2017 from the estate of the second owner, who imported the car to Canada from the US in 2004. Cosmetic features include a repaint in Colibri Green Metallic, a tan interior, and a replacement soft top. This Beetle is offered by the selling dealer with a clean Quebec title.
To replace the aged factory paint, the previous owner commissioned a repaint of the car in 2008 in the correct Colibri Green Metallic (L99Y). A professional detail was conducted by the seller shortly following his purchase. The soft top is reported to have been replaced in 2010.
Detailed photos of the upholstery, carpeting, dash surfacing, and trim are included in the gallery.
All features and instrumentation are reported to be operational, including the period aftermarket Jensen R401 receiver unit. The odometer currently displays 36,520 miles.
Power is provided by the factory fuel-injected 1,600cc flat-four, paired to a 4-speed manual transaxle and producing 48 horsepower when new. Though service records are not provided, the car was last serviced by the seller with an oil and filter change, new spark plugs, and a tire balance six months ago.
Several photos of the underside are included showing the pans, suspension, and spare tire provision.
