1977 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Long considered simple, dependable, and economical transportation with time, the Beetle, and especially the convertible variants with the added option of basking in the sun, the moon, and the stars, have become collector cars in their own right. With a thoughtfully designed interior, four are easily able to enjoy the fun-loving spirit instilled in the Beetle. The vinyl roof was designed with the elements in mind, offering easy cleaning and a fully upholstered and insulated interior. With the rear window being made of glass, this allows for an electrically defrosting window to be equipped as standard. As a genuine automotive icon, the Volkswagen Beetle continues its vast appeal, which will surely bring a smile to the face of any passerby.
