The tale of the Volkswagen Beetle unfolds as a narrative of inspiration, notwithstanding its association with a less desirable historical figure. Conceived by Adolf Hitler and crafted into reality by Ferdinand Porsche, the Beetle emerged as an embodiment of affordable and reliable motoring for the German public. Porsche, renowned for sports cars and SUVs today, bestowed the Beetle with iconic lines, a simple air-cooled engine, and a practical interior – a car for the masses. With over 21 million units sold until its 2003 farewell, the Beetle underwent over a thousand improvements during its enduring production, starting from the original 1938 design. In 1948, Wilhelm Karmann transformed a VW Beetle sedan into a convertible, birthing the Beetle Cabriolet, later produced by Karmann in Osnabrück. Available today is a unique Super Beetle, the 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Karmann Cabriolet Champagne Edition II, boasting mainly original features and a modest 76,000 miles on its journey.
The resplendent 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Karmann Edition stands draped in a pristine Ancona Blue painted exterior with a white convertible top, a departure from the typical Beetle sedan configuration. Despite the transformation, this Beetle comfortably accommodates four adults, offering them the delightful experience of open-air motoring. Embracing its classic identity, the car features the iconic Beetle head and tail lamps, whitewall tires, steel wheels, side step rocker panels, and an abundance of charismatic charm. This practical classic extends an invitation for everyday drives, encapsulating the essence of timeless motoring. Step into the interior of this 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Karmann Edition to encounter a clean white ambiance, providing seating for four individuals. The mainly original interior exudes authenticity, with the trunk receiving a touch of new carpeting. Positioned at the front, the trunk aligns with the Beetle's distinctive design. Inside the cabin, a four-spoke steering wheel, wood-trimmed dash, push-button radio, and essential switches for ancillaries epitomize the Beetle's commitment to refreshingly Spartan motoring, minimizing distractions for an immersive driving experience.
Nestled in the rear of the 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Karmann Edition is a harmoniously tuned 1585cc flat-four engine with Bosch L-Jetronic Fuel Injection. Its air-cooled melody resonates through the characteristic dual exhaust, providing a delightful soundtrack to your drive. Power is channeled to the rear wheels through a 4-Speed manual transmission, allowing enthusiasts to relish the engine's character, forgiving its modest power output. Drum brakes on all four wheels, more than sufficient for this relatively lightweight car, complete the dynamic package, ensuring a harmonious balance between performance and driving pleasure.
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.
Looking at the world of classic cars, a few motors have made their mark in the history books; they might not be the most performance-oriented or exotic-looking, but their presence carries a story.

Present today is this 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle. One of over 21 million Beetles made, this classic motor is a lovely example of a legendary marque and can be yours to drive off in today!

Classic cars often get a bad rep for being unreliable modes of transport; the mere mention of one and images of being stuck on the side of the road looking for help may come to mind for those who don't know the magic of owning one. In essence, Classic cars soothe the soul; every gear shift evokes a sense of freedom, and the mechanical symphony that goes alongside it makes for driving memories that can't be replicated.

Present today is this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Karmann. Its reliable classic car ownership ensures more time behind the wheel and less time on the side of the road.

By its third generation, the Chevrolet Corvette was already a well-known icon within the landscape of American motoring. The C3, introduced in 1968, retained its sleek and muscular appearance, adding a few more curves to the design, with a bit of European flair injected into its philosophy. It was still distantly Corvette. The C3 was also the first model to introduce a Targa top to its coupe models, a feature that would remain a popular element that reappeared over the ensuing generations. The C3 was also the first Corvette to serve as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500—the first in a long tradition of Corvette pace cars that would appear for the iconic race. Our featured car is a 1975 Chevrolet Corvette with the 350ci V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission, and features a few choice performance upgrades.
When the 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe was first introduced, their commercials referred to it as a completely new look that time can not wash away. Sure enough, even after a number of decades, the Chevrolet Impala remains a car that is accepted to be beautiful from every angle. Another interesting fact about the 1965 model year is that they improved the Jet Smooth Ride with a new chassis and suspension design and made it standard equipment in every model. To this day, its ability to make you feel like you are hovering above potholes is said to surpass the comfort of contemporary city cars. This 1965 Chevrolet Impala Coupe, with a recently installed engine, bears only 1,000 miles on the clock.
There are few cars that can embed themselves into popular culture the way the achingly beautiful third-generation Chevrolet Impala has. The model featured many design flourishes that epitomized the ’50s and ‘60s, including the car’s long and flowing lines, low roof, lashing of chrome, wrap-around windshield, and distinctive c-pillar design. The car we offer for sale here takes the traditional Impala recipe and adds so much more. Under the hood, you’ll find a modern GM LS V8 engine, which just so happens to have a supercharger strapped to it for good measure. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS restomod has undergone an extensive restoration and features a host of new parts and upgraded tech. It could be yours, with just 2,500 miles recorded since the restoration was completed.
