My father gave me one for my 16th birtday - formerly lime green (inside door wells gave it away). It was "reconditioned"...painted silver, carpeting installed (that got drenched in the rain due to the rusted floorboards), top leaked, steering had way too much play. Engine melted on the way to college and when I called my dad under duress, he told me to hitch a ride. Thanks Dad.
He replaced it the next year with a black-on-black '79 (I think) Beetle convert -- last year for the model in this country. That was a sweet ride but a maintenance nightmare.
