Used 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle for sale in Coral Springs, Florida
Gateway Classic Cars of Fort Lauderdale is excited to present this clean 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle, in classic silver & black on black. By 1978, VW Beetles, formally known as Type 1, had already been around since 1938. In that 50 year span, they still retained the lines of the original, and like they say... why mess with it if its ok? They are simple, easy to work on, light and nimble cars- sporting air cooled flat 4 cylinder rear mounted engines producing just enough horsepower to get them up to speed. Early ones now command a small fortune, and Walt Disney added to their fame with the HERBIE movie series, where a spirited VW can drive and fix itself, and smoke Ferraris on the race track. This pretty Super Beetle looks great inside and out and runs well. Paint quality is very good, as are the top and interior. The VW Super Beetle came to the market in 1971. It is officially known as the VW 1302 from 1971 to 1972 and VW 1303 from 1973 onward but most commonly called Super Beetle. The 1600 cc fuel-injected engine runs well, and the 4 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly. Volkswagen introduced the new Beetle in 1998 to the delight of fans everywhere, but there is nothing like a classic Beetle drop-top, with all the original personality and simplicity.
