Summary
This 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible, gifted to its current owner in 2016, features a rebuilt 1. 6L flat-four engine with a Solex carburetor and a MacPherson strut front suspension. The car has been refinished in red over black leatherette, though it exhibits rust on the running boards and paint imperfections, and the five-digit odometer has rolled over.
More details
Notable modifications include a JVC stereo, aftermarket speakers, and a red wood shift knob.
