AC Propulsion e-Civic electric car / vehcile by Alan Cocconi of ACP 1995

This is an ideal project for the serious EV enthusiast or collector. This is an AC Propulsion e-Civic built in 1995. The previous owner was an Optima Battery Company engineer and owned the car for 12 years. Previous to him, Southern Cal. Ediston had the car. I have had the car from 05.2012, or for the past three years.
The previous owner removed the batteries for replacement and never reinstalled the pack before selling it to me. As I have never gotten around to working on it, it still has no batteries included. I intended to reinstall a new battery pack and put her back on the road, but have acquired other EV projects and it has come time to admit that I am just not able to get around to this project, hence I am selling it as is, where is. I hope it finds a good home, it is an wonderful EV, and designed and built by ACP makes it highly desirable.
Its traction pack is designed for 28 yellow top Optima batteries (as noted, no batteries included). It has a clear CO title from previous owner as I have never registered it in my name. I has some dents and dings as any 20 year old body would (see pictures). I have deep cleaned the interior, including the carpeting, seats, dash, etc. since these pictures were taken. The windschield is cracked. Please refer exclusively to the pictures for vehicle condition documentation.
