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.

Engine

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.

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.

PENDING SALE
$17,499

The R129-generation 300SL marked Mercedes-Benz’s modern reinvention of the SL as a safety-focused, high-speed grand tourer rather than a raw sports car.

With over 62,000 miles, this example reflects regular use consistent with the model’s intended purpose as a capable touring roadster, while the naturally aspirated M103 inline-six continues to provide smooth, linear power delivery suited to relaxed yet confident cruising.
