1977 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic Convertible Karmann 1.6L 4-spd

1977 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, 1.6L 4-Cylinder, 4-spd

This is an amazing survivor Beetle convertible with less than 29k documented original miles. Well-loved and well-maintained by its two owners, it has always been kept under cover and serviced by German car specialists. This all-original time capsule has not been rebuilt or even repainted because it hasn't needed to be. It has minor wear you would expect for a five or ten year old car--not one made in the Seventies. Drive it anywhere as is.

The top lowers and raises with ease. The stylish leatherette interior shouts "Hop in and let's go!" The engine starts right up and runs really smooth. It is surprisingly peppy for a motor made over forty years ago. The car shifts, steers, and stops great. The suspension is really tight, and the handling is nimble. While there are some paint chips and surface rust in some places, the body is very solid, and the paint still looks great.

The level of documentation that comes with this vehicle is very rare. A record of everything from its original sale at a VW dealership in San Antonio to its most recent oil change is included. I feel privileged just having experienced such a classic for a couple hours. You will be overjoyed to own and drive her for years to come.
