Vehicle Description
Check out this Iconic 1979 Volkswagen Convertible Beetle we have for sale.
The 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible is the last model year of the classic, air-cooled Beetle convertible before production ended in North America. It represents the culmination of over two decades of Beetle development and is often seen as a symbol of the 1970s era.
Exterior:
Body Style: Two-door convertible with a fully retractable soft top.
Dimensions: Length: 157.5 inches (4,000 mm), Width: 64.6 inches (1,640 mm), Height: 58.1 inches (1,475 mm).
Weight: Around 2,000 lbs (907 kg).
The body was typically built with chrome bumpers, trim, and mirrors, giving it a vintage aesthetic.
Interior:
Seats: Two front bucket seats and a small rear bench seat.
Dashboard: The dashboard retained a simple, functional design with analog gauges. It includes a speedometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure, and warning lights.
Steering Wheel: Three-spoke plastic steering wheel.
Top: The convertible roof is manually operated, and it can be folded back completely. It is made of durable black vinyl.
Suspension & Handling:
Front: Independent front suspension with torsion bar springs.
Rear: Semi-independent rear suspension with torsion bars.
Safety & Features:
Brakes: Drum brakes at the rear, disc brakes in the front.
Bumpers: The 1979 model had larger, federally mandated impact bumpers designed to meet U.S. crash standards.
Legacy:
The 1979 Beetle Convertible holds a special place in automotive history as one of the last iterations of the iconic design, which dates back to the late 1930s. After its production ended in the U.S., the Beetle continued to be made in Mexico until 2003.
The Beetle was beloved for its simple design, reliability, and iconic status as a symbol of the counterculture movement in the 1960s and 1970s.
Driving Experience:
Driving the 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible offers a nostalgic, somewhat whimsical experience. The ride gives a sense of fun and freedom, especially with the top down. The Beetle's handling has a lightweight, rear-engine design that gives it a distinctive feel on the road.
The 1979 model year is especially sought after by collectors due to its significance as the last of the air-cooled, rear-engine Beetles.
