1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible

-1979 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE CONVERTIBLE #1592037213. (Stock #4459). If, in 1979, you wished to purchase a brand new Volkswagen “Beetle” convertible, 1979 being the final year of production of the 41 years of production of this most unusual car-- but missed the opportunity—relax,.You now have another chance! We have found one which has been in dry storage on an estate in Westchester County, New York, since new. It has never been put on the road and has been kept “in the wrapper” by its original owner for the past 47 years. The Volkswagen Beetle–the “Peoples Car”--was brought to the market in 1938 and went on to become the best selling single platform car of all time. Over the years the car evolved to “cult classic” status maintaining the same basic beetle-shaped body, but now with independent front and rear suspensions, rack and pinion steering, a fuel-injected 48 horsepower engine, a dual circuit braking system, and many “modern” mechanical and safety advancements. The convertible variant, introduced in Germany in late 1958, was the top of the line, with a high quality,padded convertible top, and was the most expensive version of the bug. By 1979, the final year of production, the price of the convertible sas $7,289–as confirmed by the window sticker of our car which is still attached to its passenger window. It was not easy, even back in 1979, to find a new “Triple White” convertible–the buyer of this car had to reach out to a dealership in Klamath Falls, Oregon, to find it–and then have it trucked back to Westchester, NewYork. Now, upon the passing of that collector, almost 50 years later, this literal “time warp” car is out of storage, drives (and looks) absolutely as new and is available for sale with 129 delivery miles. $95,000.
