They Turn ’49 Mercurys and Shelby Cobras into EVs, One Tesla Carcass at a Time

The classic Porsches are what interest me. EVWest is building them. They successfully ran a converted BMW up Pike’s peak. Their 912 conversion is pretty darn cool. The idea that Southern California will keep hot rodding and beautiful old cars alive into the future is welcomed.

Not too spendy[1] either, provided you already have a Porsche, that is.

They've got conversion kits for Beetles, too. Beetles without engines are pretty cheap (a few hundred bucks in Reno; not sure about other areas); looks promising for a cheap EV conversion.

I'm half-seriously considering something similar for my Highlander should it give up the ghost, but I ain't aware of any kits for it, so it'd be a much more intense and risky project.

Rated Torque: 120 Lb Ft

Rated Power: 71 HP

This is a lightweight electric pallet stacker motor. You dont want this in anything other than maybe a VW bug. Not to mention the most important and expensive part is missing, as always.

cant wait to go to my local junk yard and grab EV parts to mod my datsun.

They had me at Gattica.
