Re: 1974 Super Beetle

No, it isn't.

The old air-cooled Beetles is one of very few cars sold in North America that never had an automatic transmission version.

(Yes, they did sell a semi-automatic version, but its different than a fully automatic car.)

Even if you owned a manual shift car where there was an automatic version, it is still a big job to swap a manual transmission for an auto. Often, it is cheaper simply to sell the manual transmission car and buy an automatic-equipped one.
