1979 Vw Super Beetle Convertible Sorry Sold Resto-Mod

Alright, here we are late in the day in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. Handling several cars, multiple cars out of a collection here, private collection in Texas. We're going to walk around and tell you about this very cool 1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle. Nicely done rest on mod. Finished in an early 60's turquoise green. No expense spared. Restoration done on it. A little bit of horsepower underneath the hood. Updated front end. Short throw shift transaxle in it. This green is very nice and no expense spared. Restoration done by the VW specialist D&J out of Fountain Valley, California. Nice color combination. Elante two-tone gray interior. Fuchs 17-inch knock-off wheels. Reproductions. You can obviously tell this is a very nice professional quality ground-up restoration Everything lines up nice. Has a very nice engine underneath the rear compartment. We'll get around to the back and cover that with you. Finished inside now. The inside of the deck here on the front, the front trunk compartment has finished top to bottom in the same color. Has a nice looking feel. Drop top has the stay fast convertible top on it. Mercedes style cloth is what I call it. We're not going to put the top down. We never put the top downs in cars because I don't like to take the risk of moving them. Inside, color falls all the way through. Nice combination of this early 60's turquoise on a 79 beetle. Has obviously German square weave carpet here. Here's the Geneberg close ratio shifter. We'll get into more detail on that as we get in the engine compartment and talk about the transaxle, that type of thing. Get you into the back seat here. Full headliner in the 79. I believe 79 is the last year of this edition. Super beetle. Doors shut nice. Karmann badge up front here. Less than about a hundred miles on this restoration. So she's pretty much ready to go. Under the engine compartment here in the back we have a 2275 cc dual 44 Weber carb. A1 muffler. Killer sounding A1 muffler. Some billet components, that type of thing. And we'll get into the specs when we open the engine compartment here in just a minute. Tonneau cover for the convertible tops right there. Glass rear window. You already heard it run and drive in. We'll run it a little bit more for you when we get to the engine compartment portion of the video. We have photos of the windows up at Spud's Garage so you can see how the fit is. We like to video and photo them with the windows down. Elante vinyl interior. A hundred miles on the odometer so fairly fresh. We'll have some specs at Spud's Garage. I want to cover the type of audio system in it. It has a Bluetooth. Fuel gauge working. There's not many gauges on a BW. Door shuts nice, driver. Very nice. 2275 cc 4-cylinder. Very nicely finished. Spatter finish or hammer finish is what you call that on a lot of the components here. It has JC pulleys on it. A1 muffler. Custom A1 muffler on it. It has a high-performance gearbox. It's shifted by a retro Geneberg lockout short-throw shifter. All built by Dirtrans Axial Shop. Billet distributor. Anodized CE performance components on it. A1 mufflers here. I'll crank it up and let you hear it here shortly. Get you to the undercarriage also. Hang on. Little bit of ponies here. Fuelers now. Alright, we'll get you in the front compartment here. Same level of detail all the way throughout. In the compartment there. Spare compartment. There is no spare. Alright, complete frame-off restoration like we talked about during the walk-around. A1 muffler 2275 up there. Remote oil filter. New Fuchs wheels, 17-inch. Knock-off wheels. All the suspension's been gone through. Again, body-off frame restoration. Very nice finish as we go around.
