Background Story of this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle

Overview of 1979 Volkswagen Beetle For Sale by Owner

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. It is true that owning a classic car can be a troublesome experience if not done right; it takes patience to see things through; what if you could experience classic car ownership minus the supposed hardships of keeping one going? 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.

Exterior and Interior

There's no doubt that the Volkswagen Beetle dons one of the most iconic designs in automotive history; the curvy and bubbly design is recognizable anywhere in the world. Taking this iconic design up a notch in this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Karmann is a Red exterior; the exterior color helps showcase the beetle's iconic personality; some say it emits peace, love, and freedom. This isn't just any Volkswagen beetle, as you may have noticed; the white convertible top in place makes way for open-top motoring. In terms of shoes, this classic machine sits on a set of Rostyle-styled steel wheels. Once you are done admiring the iconic styling, its time you step into the black interior of this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Karmann. The interior cabin functions over a false sense of luxury; you have a Wolfsburg steering wheel, wood trim, and the rest of the car's factory interior features, ensuring your drive feels not fettled with.

Engine

Now, onto what is arguably this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Karmann's key feature: its air-cooled 1,585cc Flat-4 motor. Make your way to the rear of this German classic and pop open the hood of this tasteful classic, and what you will find is a fuel injected, air-cooled boxer motor thumping away and ensuring reliable smiles per gallon. In terms of power delivery, this reliable classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a 4-Speed manual transmission, giving you more control over your drive feel.

PENDING SALE
$20,999
SOLD

The Volkswagen Beetle is one of those machines whose production numbers are not in the thousands but in the 6-digit range. While it has a long production run across multiple formats, finding a clean example has become more challenging.

Present today is now considered a rare bird and looks like this 1972 Volkswagen Beetle. This clean example is reported to have just 135,000 miles on it over its 50+ year life. Better yet, this machine is also reported to have been garaged or under a carport its entire life to maintain its clean looks. The fun doesn't stop there for those seeking originality; the machines' maintenance is also reported to preserve their original specifications. Included in the sale are a tow bar and lights connector in excellent condition, along with the original owner's manual.

The vehicle has got 62,807 miles on it and features a 1.2-liter air-cooled flat-four engine.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$109,999

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$89,999

Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.

1977 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$20,000

Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
