For sale:
2002 Ford Focus ZTS Sedan, Electric
Up for sale is a 2002 Ford Focus ZTS Sedan which has been converted from
gasoline to electric.
I converted this car myself in 2008, as a project for and with my children, as
a safe and efficient daily driver.

forced me to park the car.

applicable):

transmission. Body has about 93,000 miles but is in great shape. No rust!

Today, this car is not driveable - thus should be considered a "project." To be
driveable, it would need, at a minimum, new batteries. I had planned on replacing the
aged lead-acid pack with Lithium iron phosphate (LiPO4) - but I need the space in my
garage/driveway, so it has to go. This would be an awesome project for a family, or
student group, or able mechanic.
I am asking $2500 cash for this vehicle, you will have to transport (flatbed
recommended). I have clean title in hand; located near Apex, NC (zip 27539).
Motivated to sell - I'd like it gone by Christmas. Please email, call, or text
with your interest.
Thank you for reading! Email me off list if interested.
