The item number is 181307757847. This is the ETV-1 prototype built in 1979 and featured in Motor Trend. It used to be my car in 2003 or 2004. I don't remember exactly. I know this because it is the only one in existence. See that the VIN number ends in 001. The car used to have a DC drive at 108V and golf cart batteries. It has since been retrofitted with an AC drive system. I haven't personally seen the car in 10 years, but I know it to be a collectors item. I expect it has some value to a collector, running or not. The car looks to be in the same condition (a little covered in dust) as it was when I bought it from the Museum a long time ago.
Just information for any EV collectors out there. This car is a one of a kind. It has been modified, which reduces its value some, but still it has historic value. For me, this was EV #2 of my 14 total EVs. I wish I had more time and technical skill to restore it in 2004. It would have been just fine with the 108V SepEx motor and direct drive as it was built. But, the controller was bad and there were no alternatives back then. I hacked in a two controller solution that never worked well. The next owner ripped out the whole drivetrain and started over. That's all history now. Today it has an AC motor and controller. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
