Overview
For 1978, the standard Beetle was no longer available in the U.S., though Volkswagen did introduce an upscale, limited-edition Champagne Edition II, which was a Beetle Convertible equipped with burled elm trim on the dashboard, ermine upholstery, a quartz clock, and a Blaupunkt stereo system. It came with either metallic blue or metallic red exterior paint.
Power for the Champagne Edition II was provided by an air-cooled, rear-mounted, fuel-injected four-cylinder engine that generated 58 horsepower. A four-speed manual transmission, dual braking system, four-wheel independent suspension, and flow-through ventilation system were also part of the package.

not practical with the two kids but perfect with the hubbys early mid life crisis and genuine boyhood fantasy. drove like a dream and looked like a purple goddess, full of all the original features except heating, but that was sacrificed for performance and a beast of an engine. was the second love of hubbys life, after the dog!!!!!!!!!!!!! shame shes gone but better to have had and experienced than dream about forever
