My 1964 Beetle has the original number matching engine. The fan shroud does not have the Thermostat, or the mounting holes for it ?
Did some beetle's not come with the Thermostat..

?

All engines of that era came with a thermostat, your just predates the "flap" style cooling air regulation setup. Yours had a "throttle ring" setup.
