1981 Mercury Lynx Electric Car

1981 Mercury Lynx

This is a rare 1981 Jet Electrica. It was originally manufactured by Jet Industries of Austin, TX, which produced about 3,000 EV conversions while they were in business. Most Jets were based on Ford Escort and Mercury Lynx chassis purchased new as from FoMoCo as "gliders" (body and chassis without engines). To convert the Lynx to electric, Jet mated a Prestolite 96v traction motor to the original Ford transaxle, fabricated battery boxes front and rear, and added a speed controller and an on-board battery charger. The range when fully charged is about 35-40 miles. It takes 16 12V batteries. This car has 6215 miles on it and in very good condition. No rust, interior is excellent. The paint is faded and worn. I am unsure about the history of the car and had rescued it from long term storage. I do not have a title for it. The batteries are missing but everything appears to be there. There is also a tow bar that attaches to the front. Please feel free to ask any questions.
