The controller and motor worked last time I had power on them (about five years ago), I actually drove the rusted out Jet Electrica up and down the street before parting it out. The controller is large and while it is useable, it would probably be best to plan on using a more modern controller. It can be used for initial test runs or to drive with while waiting on a better one.
> 6. 120V ferroresonant charger of unknown condition. I have never applied power to the charger but since it is just a transformer and some diodes, there is no reason to suspect it would not work. Like the controller, I know there are more technically advanced units available but as a spare or to get you up and running, it is there.

On the one hand, I am sorry your conversion project didn't work out...
On the other hand, this is a fantastic deal on a decent car and parts. I
hope these parts go to a good home!

For those who are in Austin and have a project that seems like it's
getting away from you, feel free to organize build days and announce on
the list. Having others around can be a great way to give you a little
more initiative to work on it, and the help can definitely make things
go faster.
