Volkswagen - Super Beetle 1.6 injection Karmann Convertible - 1978

GENERAL This is a very nice and highly original Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, a late-production model originally hailing from the sunny climate of California before being imported and registered in Denmark in 2018. As a 1600cc fuel-injected model, this vehicle represents the final evolution of the original Beetle design, combining the timeless 1930s silhouette with more modern 1970s engineering. These late-model convertibles, often referred to as Super Beetles, are particularly sought after for their improved McPherson strut front suspension and increased luggage capacity, making them the most drivable and practical of all the classic air-cooled Volkswagens. BODYWORK & PAINT The exterior is finished in a vibrant metallic blue paint that presents very well and complements the classic lines of the vehicle perfectly. While the finish is overall attractive and high-quality, there are some minor spots and marks consistent with a well-loved original car. Most importantly, the vehicle remains structurally sound with no rust issues present in the frame or the bodywork, likely thanks to its California heritage. All glass and mirrors are in good condition, and the convertible top has been replaced, meaning it is currently in excellent condition and provides a tight, secure seal against the elements. TECHNICAL Power is provided by the iconic 4-cylinder air-cooled 1600cc engine featuring Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection, which starts reliably and runs smoothly. The technical setup is completed by a 4-speed manual gearbox that shifts through the gears with ease, while the braking system remains fully effective and responsive. The car is sitting on a set of stylish white wall tires that have approximately 5mm of tread remaining, ensuring plenty of mileage before a change is needed. INTERIOR The cabin remains complete and maintains its period-correct charm throughout. All electrical items, including the lights, radio, and various dashboard gauges, are fully functional. The upholstery is in good overall shape, though there is some light staining on the rear seat—possibly sun-fading from its time in the California sun—which adds a touch of honest character to the interior. DOCUMENTS The vehicle comes with a comprehensive documentation package to ensure a smooth transition for the new owner. This includes the Danish classic vehicle registration, which officially certifies the car as a 4-person passenger vehicle. Additionally, two full sets of keys are provided with the sale. COLLECTION The vehicle is located in Denmark and is ready for immediate viewing or collection. The seller can assist with basic coordination, though the buyer is responsible for arranging the final transport logistics from the current location. OTHER INFORMATION This Beetle offers a rare opportunity to own a fuel-injected classic that is as reliable as it is iconic. Whether intended for weekend coastal drives or as a standout addition to a collection, this California-born convertible is ready to be enjoyed immediately without the need for structural repair or mechanical overhauls.
