The beetle never offered a full automatic, they did make a "auto-stic" This transmission was a 3 speed and had to be shifted but there is no clutch pedal, the clutch is operated by contact points in the shifter. I am sure it would be more practical to buy a differant car with the transmission you prefer
the closest vw beetles came to having an automatic transmission is called an auto-stickit has a gear shifter like a manual trans, but no clutch pedal. you push down on the stick, and then shift gears.
any engine carburated i would go with the 1600
