Please note that experience shows us that the photobucket of over 100 large pixel pictures posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a dealer will post all but the most flattering of professionally finished photographs. We prefer to post the many photos taken of the car. in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight. in order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree. West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional and very striking example of this southern California 'Silver' color paint 1979 classic Volkswagen Beetle Convertible with a black vinyl interior and matching soft top! Absolutely no rust or accidents and obviously always well maintained and looked after! The car has a 1. 6L 4 cylinder air cooled engine with electronic fuel injection. 4 speed manual transmission. electrically heated rear window. four wheel independent suspension. dual outside mirrors. bucket seats. leatherette covered sport steering wheel. woodgrain dash applique. sun visors. headrests. Quartz Crystal clock. rack and pinion steering and has a manufacturer's estimated mileage of only 22MPG city. All early Beetle type 1 cabriolet ragtops are eminently collectible to VW enthusiasts. with the 1979 last year versions being obviously the most desirable. Karmann of Osnabruck carried out the assembly work including installation of the typically Teutonic folding top. When buttoned up. the convertible was as tight and quiet as the sedan thanks to it's thick 'sandwich' top construction and glass (not plastic) rear window. When folded down. the top created an enormous 'bustle'. giving the car a look like that of no other! By 1979. the last year Beetle convertibles had become quite expensive in the U. S. owing to inflation and the relative value of the dollar versus the deutsche mark. Therefore these will no doubt continue to command the highest collector prices as time goes on as 'the last of the line' models. Ultimately. the VW ragtop is an automobile with permanent and timeless appeal; a piece of motor history that you can drive everyday! This particular car must be seen and driven to be fully appreciated - the engine is extremely strong and responsive with excellent oil pressure and no oil leaks and which sounds absolutely magnificent. the 4 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears. including reverse. the car brakes and steers great and the engine temperature always remains cool. The car has very striking and highly desirable 'Silver' color paint. a very good condition black soft top and an equally nice black interior with woodgrain applique and an after market CD player! This must be one of the very finest daily driving example's available of this very collectible and highly desirable last year of production completely original 1979 VW Classic Beetle convertible in this highly desirable color combination - an obviously beautifully looked after and maintained example with no rust whatsoever in rare turn-key ready daily appreciating. daily driving and daily head-turning condition of an all time legendary classic car!For further information contact West Coast Classics through EBay or on 310-399-3990 during regular California business hours.
