The Volkswagen Beetle started life as a people’s car and has since become beloved by virtually all walks of life. Whether it’s an early "split window" in pristine condition or a radically modified rat rod, there are many dedicated devotees that come with an appreciation of the Bug’s way of life. One of the advantages of the VW Beetle platform is that it was available in a variety of body styles. In addition to the traditional sedan, there have been many different versions that share its underpinnings, including Variant models, wagons, and this: one of the last years that a convertible was offered from the factory. This 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible is offered for sale with a 1.6-liter engine and 97,000 miles reported on the odometer.
The “Super Beetle,” as it is known by aficionados, was more than just a facelift, with many improvements made under the skin by VW. This model of the VW Bug, however, features a different body than its earlier relatives. Super Beetles featured a lengthened wheelbase, different sheet metal for the hood, a curved windscreen, and wider fenders. Our featured car is painted blue with a grey soft-top roof. Its immaculate exterior is completed with chrome bumpers, mirrors, headlamp surrounds, and body trim. It rides on 15-inch steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and Kumho tires. Moving inside, you’ll find a large three-spoke wooden steering wheel and a 100-mph VDO speedometer set ahead of the driver. Located under the dashboard is an auxiliary VDO oil pressure gauge, a Kenwood radio head unit that has AM/FM functions, and a CD player.
Located in the rear, the 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible's engine is a 1.6-liter fuel-injected and air-cooled flat-four motor. Coupled with a manual gearbox that directs power to the rear wheels, the powerplant is one of the defining elements of the VW Beetle, enhanced by the desirable late-model fuel injection. When new, this engine offered 48 hp at 4,200 rpm.
