I too, liked Sleepers. You will need to stock up on extra paper gasket, cork gasket (valve covers), hoses, fan belts, fuel pump diaphrams, oil, and somehow gasoline, although wood, coal, propane powered bugs were made during ww2. Oh, and vw bugs did have electronics that failed, the regulator. On a 65 it uses a generator (6 volt) and has the reg under the back seat, buy a few.
Personally, I would opt for the '67 for virtue of the sealed beam headlamps, 12v electrical (still a generator), and extra power (1500cc vs 1300cc). And for end times utility, a swing side bus would win out.
But I digress. Any pre-obd2 car is easily flashed with a eeprom and burner, or replaced by an aftermarket ecu. No reason to be stuck with a 'black box' in your more modern car.
