Yeah, but there are just SO MANY of those good old used parts out there. Heck, there is a Locost 7 kit car that is based off of a 2.8L carbureted Chevy S-10. There were so many of them produced (same for the T-bird and 'Stang) that the relatively small pool of Solectria converters will never come close to snapping them all up.

I wonder if they had to change the body much to use the 'Stang rear axle. Surely it has a wider track than the Metro-based original had.
