The humble Volkswagen Beetle can mean many things to many people. Originally conceived as simple, almost utilitarian transport for the masses, its timeless design and dependable reliability catapulted the VW Bug into a much more significant role. You’ll find some Beetles setting world-record auction prices, others tearing up the race tracks in historic events, and still more being used as blank canvases for those who like to harness the many customization options on offer. There are, of course, many different body styles of Volkswagen Beetle on offer, too. And one of the most desirable is pictured for sale here. This 1978 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible is a perfect example of just how wide the “people’s car” appeal stretches. Having undergone a mild restoration with multiple new parts reported, this VW Beetle Convertible is ready to make waves in the classic car scene.

The exterior of this Volkswagen Beetle is finished in a deep shade of blue, with a contrasting white convertible top, so that onlookers make no mistake of this bug’s most desirable attribute. The Beetle rides on period-correct 165R15 tires, which wrap 15-inch steel wheels with the classic VW chrome hubcaps. Other notable chrome additions are the signature Beetle bumpers, which the owner reports have been sourced new. Inside the cabin of the 1978 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, you’ll find white upholstery to match the soft top, including door cards and seats. A large-rimmed four-spoke steering wheel greets the driver, featuring the classic Wolfsburg logo in its center. Behind the steering wheel, you’ll find a single VDO gauge that houses the speedometer (with indications in both mph and km/h), odometer, and fuel level.

Under the rear-mounted hood, you’ll find one of the more sought-after engines to be fitted to the Beetle. This 1978 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible comes with a fuel-injected 1,584cc engine. It’s one of the last air-cooled horizontally opposed engines offered by Volkswagen and, when new, it output 48 hp at 4,200 rpm. The engine has also received recent minatance, including a tune-up, along with new spark plugs, new plug wires, and a new distributor cap. Power is handled by a four-speed manual transmission. This being a later-model Beetle also means the car benefits from a more sophisticated suspension system, featuring independent front and rear suspension with torsion bars.
