That autostick is gonna hurt you as far as resale, as someone has already mentioned.
In fact, it's a common swap to convert the autostick over to 4 speed manual, and a lot of the autostick cars actually have the clutch cable tube running the length of the trans tunnel, from the factory...find the pedal assembly, clutch hardware, flywheel for the engine, and it's relatively straightforward swap.
Look at the price on the Samba for the autostick cars vs. 4 speed cars, and same year Super Beetles vs regular, torsion bar front end, Beetles.....
The engine looks awesome, I like the low intake. That'll be some eye candy when the hood is popped.
