FIrst thing we learn with most of those Milwaukee drills is WHY they came with side handles!
Same here---had a '63 complete with an aftermarket gasoline heater AND the 6v electrical system!
Mine was 12v and factory heat, if you want to call it heat. Thing I liked about it was the auto stick shift, 3 speed manual, no clutch pedal. Discovered how that worked when it stopped working, drove it around for about 6 months always having to jamb it in gear to get moving, slow way down before I got to a red light so I didn't have to come to a complete stop. Once it was moving I could listen to the engine rpms and change gears with ease.
autostick OMG someone had to remind me of that THING, normal dry clutch bolted to a flywheel on the back of the torque convertor , I'll never forget going the first one thanks to the owner driving around with his hand on the shift lever causing the electric/vacuum clutch to slip. there was a silver contact at the lever base that made the ground to disengage the clutch , heck it was so new in 1968 we didn't even have a training school class about it yet, 50 years of VW all i have to remember them is this

if you had that PITA autostick so it was a 1968 or newer 12 volt came out in 67, the cars were a lot better with the cv joint axles over the 67 and older swing axles ,bigger motors better heater boxes,

It was a 70 model and up until that clutch servo went out, a joy to drive, except in winter. Don't remember what engine it had.
70 had a 1.6, 57 hp motor, did many of those servos did many a autostick clutch, 71 the super bettle came out with the first struts OMG head aches hit a bump and shimmy, the type 3 had efi in 68, can't remember how many wound up with dual carbs from the 67's ,74 we got the dasher and it's carb headaches.

1.6l yeah that sounds right, I seem to recall seeing 1600cc some where. Fun little car to drive, pita to work on. Sounds about right.
70 was easier than a 71 super beetle which was still easier than a 75 which had EFI .
Probably would have kept it but after the clutch servo went out so did the brakes. Floor pan rotted away and took the lines with it. Decided to throw in the towel. Still ran great though.
floor pan, rotted normal esp under the battery i'll bet the brake lines rusted out right along side of the gas pedal, they were good everyday cars for the days, pretty cheap to run and fix,
