1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible:

Rotisserie-Restored Show & Drive Build with 165HP Stroker

This 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible is a rotisserie-restored, turn-key build that blends classic air-cooled character with serious performance upgrades. As the final model year of the Karmann-built Beetle Convertible, it carries real collector significance — and with more than $40,000 invested, complete receipt documentation, and only 300 miles on a freshly built MOFOCO Outlaw 2110cc stroker, this is one of the most thoroughly sorted air-cooled convertibles you’ll find.
