With a manual? I don't know enough about EVs to know what I want to know about that set up.
I have been hunting for one of these local for years. I'd love to put some Simi modern batteries and a controller in one. I drove to VA for one 3 years ago to get there and the title for the car was parts only.
I drove the Duff Beer car around the paddock. It's an odd feeling driving like that.
Wow, I can't believe that one is still for sale. I posted it here a year or two ago from pgh Craigslist, I think they wanted more money then, but same car and location

$85,000 for a Horizon.
And people look at me funny when I tell them MOPAR guys are weird.

Hah. One of the Duff Beer guys already posted it in another car group I belong to.
is there a list of cars that Jet Industries converted ?
I imagine that the batteries weigh more than the rest of the car !
In reply to californiamilleghia :
Even wilder; two Tesla batteries probably have more power than the entire pack.
In reply to ZOO :
There's no clutch- it's all direct-drive and you just bang it into gear. Just remember to NOT be accellerating when you do it.
