Piece of GM History on Craig's List:

General Motors made about 1100 EV-1 electric cars. All were leased, and all but 3 were crushed. The rest of the complete ones are in museums. About 40 "made inoperative" were donated to colleges, illegal to register.

Few know that GM also made 500 S-10EV pickups that used the EV-1 driveline. However, 60 of them were not crushed. There are probably 30 in existence today.

There is a real one on Craig's List.

Note: A normal Tech 2 won't work with these. It required a special corporate re-flash for the EV-1 powertrain. There is one of these in Ramona California for $500. You would have to know somebody in GM management to get a S-10EV flash.

That is very cool!

Pat there is a reflash module in Ramona for $500? Then I assume that I need a TIS account in order to make it work.

I wonder if you can even get parts or if it would all have to be custom.

No, this one is all ready to go. The US Navy in San Diego leased 30 S10EV's and they were given a Tech2 for servicing. It ended up growing legs and walking away from the base to a guy in Ramona.

I almost bought it. This was 2 weeks ago. He probably still has it. Not an easy thing to sell.

I know 10 years from now, I'm going to kick myself in the ass, but no more projects for now. In 10 years, the world will be a very different place. There are more original ZL-1 Camaros in existence than these, and they will be historical items. Kinda like a Tucker.

He sent me pics. It's freakin' cherry with 20k on it. Volt meter on dash goes like 220-440v.

 

[MadMaxx61]

Post them up.

Pat can you find out if that item in Ramona is still available and PM me with the status. I think myself or another person may be interested in picking this truck up depending on parts availability for the voltage problem.

Here's some pics. Can't seem to find the Tech2 right now. Might be gone.
