Don't do it! Not worth it.

In high school I drove a beautiful red 1969 Beetle. I raced it everywhere like a go-cart, and even rolled it once. I could fill the gas tank, hand the attendant $10, and get a couple bucks back. Those were fun times, but having to do frequent valve adjustments is annoying. Getting exhaust in the cabin whenever the heater is used was also annoying.
Year correct Royal Red? Porsche India Red? The first Beetle I ever rode in was a Coral Red '58 with the sunroof open, at the beach. It's still my favorite red.

My car is up on ramps right now waiting for me to get out there and adjust the valves. Broken heater cables trump leaky heat exchangers.
