Yes, it would be possible.

Parts from a "Beetle" to make it work would run in the range of $1200 to $1600 USD and labor probably about $400 USD.

But I'm not sure you want to

The Volkswagen Type 1 automatic transmission was actually called "autostick." It is a three-speed manual transmission connected to a torque converter. You didn't need a clutch pedal, but you still had to shift.
