Green? Hell no.

Maybe if you retrofitted it with EFI, an O2 sensor, and a three way catalytic converter. A recent original style Bug from Mexico will have much better emissions than a 1970's U.S. Bug. I would guess one of the Mexican Bugs even when new and in perfect tune, put out double the pollution of the current ones.

I had a 1972 Ghia. I think it got 26 mpg. After I owned that one, I got so I could tell if there was a VW within 1/4 mile in front of me just by the smell of the exhaust (eg. a lot of emissions from a typical vehicle).
