Description
Introducing this Canadian-spec 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible, a remarkable find that offers a delightful blend of classic style and unique historical significance. Cloaked in its original Mars Red (LA3A) finish, this car proudly retains the factory paint colour that was refinished under previous ownership, echoing the era's aesthetic charm. The exterior allure is further enhanced by a set of silver-finished 15" Lemmerz wheels, each mounted with 165/80 Invovic EL350 tires. A full-size spare is thoughtfully stored in the front compartment, ready to step in if needed. VW-branded mudflaps at the rear complete the exterior profile, underscoring the car's attention to detail.
For US bidders, this Beetle is directly importable without modification as it is EPA & DOT exempt being greater than 25 years old. For more information on transport/import please visit our Transport/Import page here.
This Super Beetle carries a unique historical significance, as the 1979 model was exclusively offered as a convertible in the North American market.
The presence of the original paint, Lemmerz wheels, and burl woodgrain trim make it a standout addition to any collector's garage.
This exceptional Super Beetle is currently available through our trusted selling dealer and comes with an active Manitoba registration, ensuring a seamless and straightforward ownership transfer.
Don't miss the opportunity to own a well-maintained and distinctive 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible, a true embodiment of automotive history and enduring style.
Step inside, and you'll be greeted by an interior that exudes both comfort and timeless elegance. The front bucket seats and rear bench are tastefully upholstered in black vinyl, offering a luxurious touch that complements the classic design.
The dashboard is accentuated with burl woodgrain trim, adding a dash of sophistication to the cabin. Practicality meets safety with features like door map pockets and three-point front seatbelts, along with rear lap belts for added security.
The four-spoke steering wheel, adorned with the Wolfsburg crest, surrounds a VDO 160-kph speedometer, complete with an inset fuel level gauge and a reliable quartz clock. Notably, the mechanical odometer currently displays 1k-kms, but it's important to note that it has recently rolled over, providing an estimated mileage of approximately 101k-kms.
Beneath the rear hood, you'll discover the heart of this Super Beetle: an air-cooled 1.6L flat-four engine equipped with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection. This powerplant not only offers a responsive and engaging driving experience but also boasts a history of reliability. Power is efficiently transmitted to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. To ensure that the car is ready for the road, the seller has recently serviced the front and rear brake systems.
