Hope nobody minds posting this link to a '66 VW bug that has been converted to electric:

Could use TLC, or alternatively electric drive parts should fit an early VW bus also, and parts value (Maybe $2-3k for motor, adapter plate and controller etc) well above asking price ($1k)

No connection with seller. Would have picked it up myself if I was in SF.
