I am an amputee, I just purchased a 1972 914 and I need to convert it to an automatic. What is the best automatic and share how it can be done and where. I live in Indy.

My wife had a 70-super beetle with an automatic stick shift when I was dating her in High School. It really was just an automatic clutch. When you touched the shifter, it went into neutral and it was very easy to drive. You just shifted the car and really you could just drive in the 2nd gear and if you where going to go up a steep hill you put it in 1st, if you where going fast you just shifted to third. Very easy to drive.
I drove it very, very hard and it never broke on us. Bob B (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

It was fun holding the shifter while it was in first gear . Rev up the engine + release the shifter. |
