Just saw a great condition S10 going for $4000. The only piece of the drive train I take out for the conversion is the Engine and teh gas tank. So I would want a rust free perfect vehicle before I start.
Moot point though as I am not thinking of an S10 project as the conversion kit with everything is going to be $10,000.
Now for practical use I am thinking modified PRIUS, with some kind of quick - connect - disconnect for spare used battery packs from the junk yard (at $500 a pack). Just as long as I do not exceed the manufacturer GVW rating. Take out the pack and I can have passengers and a normal prius for sale. Put in the quick connect pack and I am a PHEV.
