1976 Volkswagen Super Beetle Convertible


Specifications


Description

 

In 1976, some things just got better - take this Volkswagen Super Beetle for example.

These cars were built to take it. Its wheels are independently suspended. Comes with coil spring / shock absorbers up front - a clever piece of engineering, that gives you an amazingly smooth, comfortably quiet ride - even on rough terrain. In the back is a double jointed rare axle, that keeps the drive wheels flat on the road to give you more control over the car. Also comes with a long lasting engine made out of the same stuff Porsche uses to make its race car engines - lightweight magnesium alloy. So there you have it, she's a pretty tough car to shake loose.

ABOUT THIS CAR

  • Chassis # 1162085028
  • Reliable and cheap as chips to run.
  • Single-ported 1600cc engine with 4 speed trans-axle gearbox.
  • Imported from California - first registered in NZ in 1988
  • Quirky car - the looks are what I love the most but the conversation this car creates is amazing!
  • Light steering, good handling - no dangerous under steer or over steer.
  • Very comfortable to drive and good German built quality.
  • Robust chassis and indestructible engine.
  • Very nice white interior
  • Lovely white hood cover in very good order.
  • Runs and drives well - healthy motor.
  • This car has just been mostly stripped down and fully repainted. No Rust found in body anywhere.
  • Fun Factor - 100 out of 100.

We would recommend this car to anyone looking for an easy to manage classic.

This little beast will get you from point A to point B, slowly but surely, but you will never have so much fun.

Also a great wee investment - you can't go wrong with a Super Beetle...especially a topless one!

Will be sold WOF'd and registered if sold in New Zealand.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993

Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.

The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.

The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
