40-Years-Owned 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible

This 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible was acquired by the current owner in 1986, and it is said to have been previously used by their son, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jeff Garcia. The car is finished in red over black upholstery, and power comes from an air-cooled flat-four linked to a four-speed manual transaxle. Features include a black convertible top, 15″ Spirit of America wheels, an EMPI shifter, and an aftermarket stereo. This 1303 Super Beetle is offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with an owner’s manual and a clean California title in the owner’s name.

The car was repainted under previous ownership, and the seller describes the color as Scarlet Red. Exterior features include a black convertible soft top, chrome-finished bumpers, and running boards. The seller notes paint imperfections near the rear bumper. Photos of paint meter readings are provided in the gallery below.

The car rides on 15″ Spirit of America wheels, and stopping power is provided by drum brakes at all four corners.

The seats are trimmed in black leatherette, and interior details include an EMPI shifter and an aftermarket stereo.

The four-spoke steering wheel fronts a 100-mph VDO speedometer with an inset fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer has rolled over and shows 13k miles.

The air-cooled flat-four is fitted with a single carburetor and linked to a four-speed manual transaxle.

Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.

The car cannot pass a California smog test, and it cannot be sold to an in-state private-party buyer.
