Great, I love those machines. I kept one for 200 kMiles. This is a classic car that deserves some respect and good care. Mind the service interval recommendation and take a careful look at the engine every 3000 to 5000 miles. Have a service manual and take some time to get advice from your Beetle friendly buisiness-partner. Check the oil consumption everytime you are at the gas station. Have lots of fun and drive carefully. You might become addicted to the sound and loveliness of this bestseller

P.S.: you might consider to keep the fuel injection in combination with a new engine controller. A well adjusted injection system provides more power as well as more miles per gallon, compared to any carburetor system in the age of that car. A new carburetor is not cheap and a worn out one is not recommendable.
