1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle

This 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible is one of a reported 900 triple-black Epilogue Edition cars built during the final year of German Beetle production, and it is powered by a fuel-injected 1.6L flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes running boards, 15″ wheels, a bright cowl vent and engine louver accents, fender guards, woodgrain dashboard trim, and a Blaupunkt push-button AM/FM radio. The car was initially delivered to Cavalier Cars in Arlington, Virginia, and is said to have spent time in Maryland, Kentucky, and Ohio before it was acquired by the owner in 2023. Maintenance performed in April 2021 consisted of replacing the rear brake shoes, hoses, and wheel cylinders. This Super Beetle is now offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of the owner with a window sticker, an order form, manufacturer’s literature, service records, handwritten documentation, a top boot, and a clean Ohio title in the owner’s name. The car is finished in black (L041) and features a black soft top with a heated glass rear window. Additional exterior details include fender guards, running boards, a bright cowl vent and engine louver accents, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The seller notes various rock chips and areas of thin paint, and close-up photos showing the condition of the paint can be viewed in the gallery below. A black top boot and a car cover will accompany the car. Silver-finished 15″ Lemmerz wheels are mounted with 165-series Coker American Classic thin-whitewall tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes, the rear of which were reportedly fitted with replacement shoes, hoses, and wheel cylinders in April 2021. The front bucket seats and the rear bench seat are trimmed in black basketweave vinyl, while woodgrain trim accents the color-coordinated dashboard. Appointments include a cabin heater, a VDO analog clock, a wooden shift knob, and a Blaupunkt AM/FM radio. The selling dealer states that the sun visors were replaced and that replacement carpeting has been installed in the front trunk. The four-spoke steering wheel wears a Wolfsburg crest, and it frames a 100-mph speedometer with an inset fuel gauge. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 8k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. The air-cooled 1.6L dual-port flat-four is equipped with Bosch electronic fuel injection. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery. The included window sticker displays initial delivery to Cavalier Cars in Arlington, Virginia, and it lists factory colors and equipment along with a total price of $7,517. An order form, service records, and handwritten documentation will accompany the car.
