Default 99 roller, failed EV conversion, NorCal

Almost, but not quite too clean to turn into a racer.

Missing the engine and transmission. Started life as a slushbox, so I imagine it's been to a lot of wineries or hair dressing conferences and all that. 114k miles.

California emissions vehicle, so if you want to turn this into a street car in California you're going to have to find the 99-00 CA exhaust manifold at the very least. Back fees and 2021 registration would set you back $277 according to the DMV.

You're also going to need a gas tank because well ... kids. Until recently, this was a project a local school; students were going to turn it into an EV. They made it as far as mounting the e-motor to the PPF and front subframe and had a drive shaft fabbed up, but that's about it. I'm impressed that the didn't really butcher the thing in the process, in fact, they bagged up all the connectors and stuff pretty cleanly. If you want to continue down this path, the electric motor is for sale separately. It says Ford on it and weighs as much as your mom.

I'm posting this for a friend - rather than having some MR2-loving nerd make a few spammy posts to get to the classifieds, I figured I'd represent it here. Not a scam™. Happy to provide more pictures, info, or show it in a COVID-safe manner in downtown San Jose.

Asking $1500
