Sounds really funny but for some reason its something ive thought about since the power out of 2003.
The battery cells would probably be fine, it's the electronics connected to them that could be zapped. Electronics that pretty much every car the same age or newer than your Festiva also has. Sure, newer ones may be more sensitive, but if you're looking for an apocalypse vehicle, I suggest a horse.
