Background Story of this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle

Overview of 1979 Volkswagen Beetle For Sale by Owner

The Volkswagen Beetle, one of the most iconic cars in automotive history, is recognized for its distinctive shape and back story. It was created by the same engineer who founded Porsche, Ferdinand Porsche. The Volkswagen Beetle in itself is a historical figure, as it symbolized a shift from cars being a privilege for the wealthy to a dream that everyone could fulfill. Therefore, buying a Beetle is not just about owning a classic car but also about owning a piece of world history with countless stories to be told. This particular 1979 air-cooled boxer four-cylinder German we have today has been meticulously restored back to life with a small twist: a turbocharger. With just 55,500 miles reported, this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle is ready to take you on some exciting expeditions.

Exterior and Interior

In a subtle White coat of paint, this restored 1979 Volkswagen Beetle has new five-spoke Porsche-style wheels that will turn every automotive aficionado's head. The lighting, too, has had an upgrade with a tasteful pair of fog lights. This Beetle comes with a black sliding ragtop as well as a roof rack, as reported by the current owner. The new and reupholstered gray interior is in supreme condition and is integrated well with a white headliner to match the exterior. The gleaming Rossetti-branded wood steering wheel brings a restored feeling into the cabin, and fear not if the local radio stations are not your cup of tea because this classic Volkswagen is equipped with a Bluetooth audio system.

Engine

An interesting fact surrounding these Volkswagen Beetles is that they do not come with a radiator as standard. Instead, they are air-cooled. The reason for choosing an air-cooled engine was that many rural doctors did not have access to garages for maintaining coolant, therefore making this Volkswagen cheaper to run. However, this VW Beetle is far away from its rural sensibilities. Open the rear-mounted engine compartment and you will find that the original engine has been upgraded to an electronic fuel injection (EFI) 1700cc 4-cylinder engine that is turbocharged with an aftermarket turbo. The current owner has treated the original 4-speed manual transmission to a new clutch, eliminating any difficulty shifting for your turbocharged Beetle adventures. Meanwhile, under the front hood, you will find a spare tire and the fuel tank.

1981 DeLorean DMC 12

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$105,000

Back To The Future Fans, rejoice! We’ve got a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 for sale today. Coming to you in all its resplendent stainless steel glory, this gullwing doored machine rocks just 4,548 miles on the clock! Introduced in 1981 and produced for just two years, the car was the brainchild of John Z. DeLorean. If the name is familiar, he’s one of the men responsible for the Pontiac GTO in the Sixties! DeLorean founded his own company in the early Eighties, asked renowned automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro to design the car’s exterior, and went into production. However, various internal and external factors meant that this space-age machine was discontinued by 1983. In total, over 7,500 were made, making this a pretty exclusive machine to own. This car currently resides in Parkland, Florida, and awaits a new owner.
