1979 Convertible Super Beetle on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
1979 Triple White Convertible Super Beetle!
Classic and classy always stealing the show where ever it goes, top up or top down.
This model is the last year built. It has air
and heat, fuel injection and runs
great. I’ve owned this little beauty since 2000 and have
never had an accident or any type of collision.
I've also never driven it in snow and rarely in the rain (since I live in sunny
Southern Cali). NO RUST!
In addition, it’s always garaged or covered. Last year I purchased new tires, but still kept the original hub caps for that Classic Super Beetle style. This
little love bug has recently been tuned up, oil changed, new hoses, smog checked,
and is ready to go. It's fun, it's safe and a great daily driver, especially if you're looking to save gas. It has a few minor flaws, a small tear (about a 1/2 inch) on the driver’s seat and minor chips (not dings) on vehicle. Carpet is ok. Stock radio has been replaced with radio/cd player and rear speakers were added. Convertible top is in good condition. Mileage shows 19,606. This little German made gem was built to last!

VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
North American production of foreign marques to jump in 2014
Sun, 23 Dec 2012Wards Auto has released its North American Light Vehicle Production Forecast for 2014, and the report predicts foreign manufacturers will increase production on the continent some 3.9 percent by 2014. If accurate, that should see 123,000 additional cars, trucks and vans produced in North America, swelling the total number of units produced both by domestic and foreign manufacturers to 16.9 million light vehicles from a projected 15.6 million in 2013. Much of the increase can be attributed to the fact that Toyota intends to produce another car at its Blue Springs, MS plant as well as a new Lexus model at its Georgetown, KY facility in a year's time.
Likewise, Volkswagen intends to move production of a currently imported model to its plant in Puebla, Mexico. Daimler, Honda, Nissan and Mazda also plan to build additional models on North American soil for the first time. Around two-thirds of the new North American manufacturing will take place in Mexico, helping the country soak up a full 20 percent of the content's automotive production for the first time.
