One of the better electric cars a available in the late 70s/early 80s - top speed 75mph, 75-100 miles on a charge, price of about $82,000 (inflation adjusted). The company is still in business, but they did not sell many of these.

I think that’s a rebo died golf cart but that's about how much a decent golf cart goes for in my area.

Looks like it has some VW rabbit interior stuff. Steering column & wheel, light knob. Maybe the dash.
That gated shifter though.

I love these.
Give me another 15 years and I’ll probably want to buy an Aztek too.

I figured somebody would recognize where the interior bits came from. I couldn’t put my finger on it. Yeah, that shifter!

I’m hoping I can keep my truck alive long enough for that.

“No Batteries”
That sounds like a deal breaker for an electric car.

Talk about a restomod candidate, drop in lithium
batteries, maybe a new controller/motor
and you’d have a fun little runabout that performed way better than stock.

Because if they can learn to drive a 2wd pig of a truck in the snow , with no traction control, no driver aids other than ABS, then they can drive just about anything. If they can park a long wheelbase crew cab without so much as a backup camera, they can park anything they’ll get behind the wheel of .

Anybody who would actually buy this, probably wants to put their own modern stuff in it.

Yep. Even better than the Cummins diesel pickup I learned on.

That is pretty damn cool. If what someone else said about 75mph and 100 miles of range on old battery tech are true it might actually be a pretty decent “car” with modern battery tech.

True, just seems like it is going to get really expensive once it all gets upgraded.

Most likely. It's the kind of project someone takes on because they want to, not because it makes any sense.

Note that the company that made that car still exists:

Here’s a video of one of these being crash tested:
