Exterior – Body & Paint
This Beetle Convertible presents beautifully in classic white, with paintwork that is both vibrant and well-preserved. The body is completely rust-free, reflecting careful ownership over the years. The convertible top and matching boot cover were replaced just three months ago, ensuring a crisp, clean look whether the top is up or down. The iconic rounded fenders, chrome trim, and period-correct details are all intact, showcasing the timeless silhouette that has made the Beetle a design icon.

Wheels & Tires
The rims have been freshly painted and are fitted with new tires, complementing the car’s crisp exterior finish. These updates enhance both appearance and driving confidence, providing a secure and enjoyable ride.

Interior – Cabin & Comfort
Inside, the Beetle features redone upholstery and new carpets, creating a fresh and inviting cabin space. The interior retains the classic simplicity and charm of a late-1970s Volkswagen, with functional gauges and a well-preserved dashboard. The layout is driver-focused and ideal for enjoying sunny days with the top down.

Engine & Drivetrain
Under the rear decklid, the air-cooled engine runs flawlessly, providing smooth and reliable performance. The rebuilt brakes offer confidence-inspiring stopping power, while the 4-speed manual transmission shifts cleanly up and down the gears, making this Beetle as enjoyable to drive today as it was decades ago.

Provenance & Significance
This 1979 Beetle Convertible represents the final year of the Beetle’s US-market production, and in celebration, Volkswagen produced only the convertible variant for the US dealer network. This model marks the culmination of years of incremental refinement, offering enthusiasts the best iteration of the classic Beetle. Rust-free, well-maintained, and fully refreshed, it is a rare example in excellent condition.

Summary
A joy to drive and impeccably preserved, this 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible combines classic charm with thoughtful recent maintenance. From its freshly redone interior to its new top, boot cover, and tires, it is ready to be enjoyed on sunny drives or displayed as a quintessential example of the Beetle’s enduring appeal.
