No not at all.
Richard this is going to start a chat riot…*laces up boxing gloves*
Looks like a trend setter, a lot of classics are sitting around waiting to be born again.
No, I think this is one of the best things to do to get some classic good looking cars back on the road. These types of conversations are going to be huge business once they become affordable. Thanks for the awesome presentation of this cool conversation. 👍👍
It's no different than any other restomod, where a classic is "sacrificed" for modern amenities, handling, braking, etc.
It only seems sacrilegious with a collectible like this '72 Satellite. However, there are a lot of other nice 1960's and 70's cars out there for cheap that nobody wants as a daily driver because 11 mpg and barge-like handling, no matter how stylish the appearance.
Maybe this type of conversion can give a lot of old iron a second life? Maybe help re-launch the "Keep America Beautiful" movement of the '70s?
You guys have built some amazing machines, but it is awesome to see the enthusiasm you have towards someone else's build! Thank you for sharing!
That means a lot to us. Thanks for the kind words, we want to give credit where credit is due.. and this is a truly phenomenal build.
@@boxeclectic That interior design is better than Tesla's, because it's more creative and while thought out. I can't believe Tesla even put any thoughts into their interior after some nerd put 2 tablets and a Gameboy gear inside.
For real! This keeps viewers like us excited! its all about community.😍
"No ABS, no traction control, no safety nets of any kind."
On a lightweight EV with monstrous torque? I like this guy.
I have a 2013 P85, you can turn the traction control off but not the stability control. It is a handful to drive with no traction control! I can only imagine this thing, you twitch your foot wrong, you’re gonna light them up and spin into the ditch. Freaking awesome!
The reduction gear alone can add weight too lol.like the ev hummer guy
@@allterrainrandy2587 With the Model 3 Performance if you disconnect a wheel speed sensor you lose all stability and traction control, or, if you enter Dyno Mode you get the same effect.
That thing becomes an absolute MONSTER, but it'll also throw you in a ditch as fast as you launch. Breaks all 4 wheels free a little too easily to be practical, I understand why Tesla doesn't let you turn it off normally. :)
When he said that, I turned to the wife and said, "Hell yeah, die like a real man!".
battery mangent placement could have been better ( and other thing's ect. aka im not a complete hater but constructive criticism is something sometimes matters and welcomed my 2C ) as there's a lot of potential space wasted say in the trunk its all batteries now and no real room for real airport luggage 😉 as intended, i know as im working on hybridisation ( Tesla's motor core + tr6070 transmission + 8-3/4@3.2G and RB hemi ) on my 70 charger and im keeping the T-bars unlike him ps. side squirrel idea why didn't he use t-bar's ( F1 use's something similar to it ) on the back it would have saved space and work ok 👌 on the Tesla's subframe
This truly was one of the best conversions we’ve piloted. Kevin did a phenomenal job and should really get that rubber issue sorted. That’s how people die of dysentery.
Oh we could tell you loved it! The way you were hammering the poor guy with questions. Be well man 🙏
That was a super cool build thanks for documenting it and bringing it to us people Uncle Rich and Daddy Stevon
Keep them coming Steven. You're showing these muscle car owners more ways to power their ride and still keep it classic. Oh and I hope Rich didn't hog all the stroopwafels.😁
Nice mustache bro
Rich will never be a survival knife guy, he needs a broad sword.
Watched the dash amp gauge go to 1800A when Rich or Stevon floored the accelerator. If the Tesla motor runs at 300v nominally, then we're talking about 540kw or ~725 hp at the rear wheels. That's a muscle car! No wonder the rear wheels break loose.
723.6 HP
I had to do the math hahaha
Thank you!
It's a real shame there's a lot of 'car guys' who completely dismiss EVs! I think things like the Prius (Not even a BEV) gave them all a bad name from years ago. EVs got this perception of being underpowered, can't drive far, and just generally being an econobox.
These days... Imagine someone putting the Plaid powertrain into some classic like this, that'd be an absolute MONSTER.
There's some insane cars, I just wish people gave the platform as a whole a shot, there's a lot to love. It's just different. :)
Big props to Holley for hosting the event, really helps bring the performance aspect to people's attention.
@@VoxelLoop im haft way there as my original, i give in point 🤷♂ was the wife instead that i buy a original equipment coded AC 2G charger so to spoil my family i decided to use electric air/A-C ( and im stuck with having all of the problems and parts might as well take advantage of it 💯 ) ( which ment for me in case having at least 25kw ish 120v+ pack ( for a 2+ hour parking and or car shows ect .) and that point justified using a BEV packaging and not a 1-off parts combo and a big + is i can use it for other accessory's too 😉 ) for the same reasons as the Tesla's do aka for shopping and not coming out to a hot car, that and im using C7 transmission so there was dead space that normally would have been used but i just mated the main out put shaft and the cv driveshaft yoke together useing the hollow/donut 🍩 BEV motor core, as a bonus for it now its the starter and i can do smaller trips in town/moving in the shop/carshow/parking space/lot without acidification of my engine and or 0-40w oil / extra cold start ware ect. and better running costs in town 😉 👍 . sorry just can't do full ev on my charger as it's missing some of the old flavours ect. and i would miss it two much but the 68 mustang convertible i have in the back im game for a full BEV swap ( the drivetrain hasn't been picked out yet unlike my charger and my 80's 1500 im ok with the idea as the local/state/EPA has made some diesel ( and gasoline like using a RB440 v8 TT ) swaps harder to road/tax tag year after year aka getting harder as time goes by and there is benefits to it as the new f150 showed ) as its a mild girly family good handling cruiser sub-80mph/60-10s ish and or looking for the comfy boulevard feeling 🤠
@@richardprice5978 Honestly, out of everything, being able to keep the climate control running when you're in a store or set it off like 10 minutes before you get in is a god-send.
I live in the UK so it's quite cold most of the year, being able to get into a hot car when it's freezing outside feels great. :)
@@VoxelLoop btw the 80's is a 1/2 ton Chevy/GMC long bed single cab just to clarify it and iv had it for 15+years/razed in it. the ev motor's i been looking at are the borg warner HVH255 core and a P100D rear core aka guted the housing/slide it on the mainshaft @ 1:1 gearing ( sorry that i don't have final numbers but it's not 💯done yet as its taking more time than i plan on / life is getting in the way 😉 but i have made good progress on it and the two different motors have different sweet-spots and im leaning towards the newer p100 ect-type / PRM/model-3/y/plaid 💭 ? as its easier for my to find and buy and right now and cheaper as well the downside is less low end torque vs amp's that i need @ 🛑 "S /under 40mph ) and using a different rear end ( say a CVT or ford 2pr3 speed rear end 9" ) some day as opportunities present themselves to me and for now stay with the fixed 3.2FG just to get it backup and running for now on the Denver/slc 🇺🇸 streets ) ( and should make it quickish 0-60 mph but wasn't my ambition to as that was for the econo box side of things but id like not to get ran into 😉 i know confession time but being the 540ci 7.5+L ish 108x114mm-x-v8 engine is easily capable of 1kw/1000+ hp on boost/nitro and no EV/battery help id say its ok and far ) instead of using it like this Plymouth does transversely @ 10:1
I've been wanting to do this for like 12 years but it just never tickled my tummy enough... The craziest thing is in 6 years from now this battery technology is going to look as classic as this car... It's so huge, there is better energy out there for sure.
Oh absolutely will grow in a decade
@@vanderumd11 I'd say honestly we will see radical changes in all energy tech in 2 years time... We will not have those giant 1200lb batteries much longer.
@@WarpedYT the reason I don't think that is because look at Tesla. The huge factory and the amount of research they put into the tech. We can't make and build a manufacturing system to roll out something quicker
Have haba
Haba* haba
When you're driving Someone else's car and the owner looks at you and goes" let's get it" is a beautiful feeling.
Kevin was probably one of the nicest guys I’ve met at an EV event. The Electrolite won my heart instantly. Awesome build, awesome builder/owner.
He should have named it DisCharger.
ElecTROLLite
@@NickKautz it’s a Plymouth satellite. That a great name for a charger though!
@@allterrainrandy2587 You're right , the license plate frame threw me off..... and I just did a bunch of work on a purple Satellite with an engine swap, too.
@@allterrainrandy2587
Reminds me of the song: Planet Claire...B52s
"...I wanted to learn something new...."
That earned so much respect from me. Hell Yeah.
Imagine if car companies went back to the 50's styling with EV components and tech interiors.
Dodge is with their E lineup
Basically the cars from fallout, but not atomic/nuclear power.
I say it all the time. It would be so easy
They can't go back to old style, because of modern regulations. They have to build it to certain specs.
Check out charge cars
Great that Rich and Stevon share the love to other builders. Sharing the love, sharing the story, sharing the enthusiasm with another builder. And all with fun along the way. The USP of this channel. I always feel better having watched one of this channel's videos. Greetings from Prague, CZ
As an way old time automotive trimmer, I had to notice that the visors were slid onto their rods backwards. The narrow ends are supposed to go to the center to avoid the mirror when flipped down. As he flipped the visors back up the mirror needed straightening. (20:56) Please change them!!! It's driving me nuts!!! Other than that it's a hell of a sweet build. Well done dude! 👍👍👍
It's so funny you noticed! Those were one of the biggest PIA to disassemble/reassemble and I did it backwards! 😆. I assure you they are next on the list.
@@MrMoparMan great work Kevin. btw which motor did you used..?
@@fist003 Thanks, it's a Tesla Model S large sport drive unit. Controller is a T2C from EV controls.
@@MrMoparMan Electrolite is lovely! Lots of love from India! :)
@@IbbiAhmed Thank you, that's very kind!
The owner is right. That model year Plymouth Satellite"s design was way ahead of its era. I remember having the same thoughts as a kid, growing up during the 70s, when they were new.
The only thing I wish he could've found a way to incorporate a pistol-grip shifter into his build. Even if it were used as an emergency / parking brake!
I had some year 383 and a 318 RR and sattalite they way cool lookin
The scope and outcome of this build reminds me of the same spirit in the old-school muscle cars. It's just that instead of six packs and cams it's batteries and motors. Great project and even better that the end result isn't just fast but is still usable as a vehicle. An excellent way to keep a classic on the road where it can be seen and enjoyed.
Yes!
He said it's his daily driver.
Ad stereo with muscle car engine sound and go 😜
Uncle Rich you should definitely invite Kevin to the electrified garage and try out some of the stuff you guys made, props to this dude for that DIY project.
I remember seeing a group of EV enthusiasts meeting 20ish years ago with their Volkswagon Bugs and Jettas packed with lead acid batteries and home made controllers. It's amazing how far things have come.
I remember those days too! Plenty of Ford ranger conversions too, but yeah all those lead acid batteries.
Yeah, especially amazing when you consider that this car would smoke any diesel or benzene based car.
I'm really digging EV's. I'm mechanically inclined, BUT feel ignorant when it comes to EV's. I'm paying attention and want to learn for sure!
Thanx
You don't need to be a mechanic, you just gotta plug it in when it quits working!
If you’re really interested in EV and want to learn more I really suggest starting with a golf cart. Start with that. The SAME THING applies to cars just scaled up. Very easy and understandable once you have hands on experience. Hope this helps or inspires
@@nickpollay1681 very helpful, thanks
Im the opposite. Im trash at fabricating metal shit, but im good at electrical stuff.
No different than building a computer. Or I should say working on a printer/copier
I always dig the effort to make sure to shout out to the folks that deserve it (I mean the mention of Stealth EV). If someone's doing a good job, that should be recognized. Helps the viewers that are potential buyers find businesses deserving of the money, and helps the buyers not get screwed around.
So it has the space of a family saloon, comfortable ride, enough range for a daily driver, it looks awesome, all the comfort tech you might need and its fast on a racetrack.
This guy built himself a Rolls Royce Phantom! 😁
Hmm, EV a Rolls?
People that know absolutely zero about cars should not talk.
"you might want to pull your seat up"
Stevon dies inside 😂
To be fair, he's about 6ft 4. Stay safe, my short kings.
@@boxeclectic 💪🏾
@@boxeclectic 😹
This build is so clean. I love the stance and the color combination.
The cool thing is that classic cars don't have to conform to modern DOT regulations. Makes them ridiculously easy to make them street legal.
Uncle Rich was right it's truly an amazing build. If I had the money I would do a 70-72 Chevy Malibu EV build.
Been watching Kevin do this build and I’ve been amazed…. Seeing you guys shake it down is great 👍
AS OLD SCHOOL BUILDERS NEAR THE TWILIGHT OF THEIR CAREER, NEWER , YOUNGER BUILDERS TAKE THEIR PLACE.......THIS GUY DESERVES TO CARRY THE TORCH FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE! JUST AWESOME..
This guy is a genius....woow....cool engineering to say the least.👌👌👏👏👏
Sweet! It's also great to ride along when Rich and Stevon drive your car. Rich is so gentle and Stevon drives it like he stole it LOL
Nothing will replace the sound of a throaty V8 going through your body. As long as there's gasoline, there will be V8's. That having been said, huge kudos for experimenting with a highly computerized battery muscle car. Just the engineering alone is one for the books. The spaceship sound when taching up high is a cinematic bonus brought to life! Thanks for putting this up.
Just add Hemi sound threw tape deck with 5000watt amps and good to go!!!!!
@@dannymostarac1799 8-track for extra authenticity
Love it! My first car was a '71 Satellite Sebring. Made many mods to this grocery getter, but always loved the.body styling - especially the hood, oval bumper, and grill. Incredible job on the conversion.
Appreciate you highlighting great builds from other channels. Instead of only thinking of your channel
I think we need a check up on everyones favourite assistant! Rich…
I get "excited"when she's in videos
Agreed Leenda needs to buff a knob😵
I hope he mentions this comment on a video 😭
Down bad as can be bro🤦♂️
Her IG delivering today for sure! Skinsuit
This dude knows what he's doing... Kudos to you and the team Rich for finding this glorious gem. A truly enjoyable watch ...
Nice restomod. Best part was when he said it was a no-cut restomod.
I’m betting we’ll see a rich rebuilds classic muscle car conversation after their excitement driving this
I'd like to see him electrify a '66 Mustang!
I am an old school guy and at first it made me mad to see what he had done to a classic but the more I saw about what he did and how he did it I fell in love with the idea. Taking an iconic car and making it electric ensures it will continue to do what it was designed to do, long after the gas guzzlers are dead and gone!
Well if porsche comes out with their eco friendly fuel soon that wont have to be the case
@@nissanpatrol8950 Yea well like all the rest of these eco fuel ideas, if they cant make it affordable it will never make it out of the lab! At a current cost of $37 a gallon, they are a very long way off getting it to go main stream! Keep in mind "soon" is a very over rated timeline and very rarely means what it says!
A 72 Plymouth Satellite wasn't on very many guy's radar back in the day.
It's weird to see so many cry about electrifying this obscure machine.
@@jstravelers4094 If it was an original '71 hemi Cuda there'd be people jumping off sky scrapers!
Coolest EV I've ever seen. Well done!
Uncle Rich delivering that much needed car- fix ! 🤤
I watched this guy build this on TikTok. It's been an amazing project to watch take shape.
This is an absolute looking glass experiment. Great addition to the channel, would like to see more of these builds. A side channel showcasing interesting ev conversion builds could take off and bring more subs.
Winner idea!
Wow! I'm blown away! I loved the shape of the Plymouth Satellite. But I had a Valiant Custom. My best friend bought one used and got it repainted for 79 bucks at Earle Schibe. He had a blast with it and I don't know how he learned to deal with its handling, as is was a pig in turns. I drove it once and the stock suspension was sloppy and useless. Seeing how flat it corners and no front end lift when accelerating, is quite an achievement. Mopar muscle cars ruled in their day for styling. Road Runner, Challenger, Barracuda, etc.
Before watching the vid, I was: WHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! Then after watching the vid: That's really a cool mod. I think I was mostly afraid it would've been an half-assed job. But no. It was really well built. Now, if only EV makers could make cool looking cars as this one, instead of their ugly cars!
You have little faith in Uncle Rich???
Even though it's an EV it still has that old muscle car sound...at least on the interior with all the squeaks, pops and rattles.
Amazing build. Could you imagine taking this back in time to the 70s and showing it to an owner of an original factory Satellite? Pop the trunk and hood and it would blow their minds.
I was the owner of a 1972 Satellite, my first car at 16. The original dash was far better, i cant believe he removed the dashboard light, one of its best features. I do love the electric drivetrain he put in it. My Satellite lasted until 1984, when the transmission was down to 1 gear. I was able drive it to the auto recycler and sell it for $50, then hitchhiked back to my college campus. It was overall a very reliable car, very well built.
13:02 Jay Leno would be shaking his head lol Awesome build!
We should have hit the roadrunner horn while we were driving
As a kid, I remember these cars and always loved the body style. GREAT conversion. Love it.
That's one cool car. Its builder is one smart cookie to build that 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
That cantilever rear suspension is on point sir. That is a very good looking ride and well executed. Hats off sir.
I felt like i was in the backseat riding along. What an amazing well built machine! Truly Inspiring...
Absolute dream car. The 71 satellite/roadrunner/gtx styling has always been my absolute favorite and this is such a cool conversion.
It is a masterpiece of engineering. I would love to see Nicks Garage view on this gem.
I get annoyed when a classic gets modified too. But when the quality and engineering is so well done like this, I can really appreciate it. A muscle car that you're not thinking about gas.
Love this car! I've been following this build on his TikTok and youtube
What is his TH-cam channel name?
@@tuneskramer69 Kevin Erickson or just lookup project electrolite. The build series was very interesting. 😎
I love Steven's enthusiasm for the heated seats. This car is spectacularly awesome.
Thank god for you Rich! There's fuckall interesting on youtube the whole weekend so I needed this.
(any sneaky updates on the C4 for me?)
Beautiful iconic car , the new and old school gets together, I can see more and more builds like this in near future , keep up the good work
Well, if an "Old Guy" can have a "Young Wife", in Car Terms, "This is Equivalent!" 😁😁
I see this car get so much hate online but personally I love it. I prefer gas engines but we’ll be able to preserve these classics if we convert them.
This car would be better in a junkyard. Better dead then made into this disgusting cursed heretic build. I hope this car ends up burning down in an electrical fire.
FORD GT40 so rather than preserving classic cars you’d rather them be scrapped because they should have gas engines? As much as I hate electric cars this thought process makes zero sense. Actual car guys would appreciate how much thought went into this build.
@@Marsupial2 I wouldn't destroy it but what is left of the original car in terms of engineering? No engine that was originally engineered and made by the manufacturer. No transmission that would of been paired by the engineers to be the best fit with the engine. Again the engine and transmission would of been chosen to go with the chassis. I'd assume the brakes and suspension will be upgraded. Interior will require new gauges. Wouldn't surprise me that the steering is altered. A completely different powertrain from a different manufacturer and many other non original components. So we are saving the bodywork and chassis. And that's it. Might as well rename it. No association with the original marque and model anymore
Guys...this is the 21st century!
Don't be afraid.
You're using devices to communicate your frustrations that have existed for only 1 generation.
I grew up watching a Black and White TV.
And I was taught to blow the asbestos brake dust all over the garage with compressed air!
Change is good.
Don't be a 25 year old ....old geezer!
@@jstravelers4094 It doesn't have anything to do with change. If they want us to drive electric cars we have no choice. If that's the case bring out new models and create a legacy. If you want an electric muscle car then build a kit car or purchase whatever Dodge etc. make in the future. But please leave alone original cars. Sticking a Tesla motor in it is not preserving the vehicle at all. It's like repainting the Mona Lisa in neon with a moustache and telling everyone to just chill
"Get some! Let's get it!" Lol
Love the video! Really, really nice car!
I'd love to have a electric classic like this one! Beautiful!
Inboard shocks are so dope, very clever adaptation my man well done!!
Unbelievably outstanding !
One guy, at home???? Extraordinary !!!!!
Americans are incredible tinkerers / innovators, and Such Car Guys !
Great job on the video! See you guys at the next Holley High Voltage!
Kevin, thank YOU for sharing it with us, and allowing us to experience your pride and joy.. can’t wait to hang with you and this beaut again!
Planning any changes before the next HHV event?
@@JamieHarveyJr Yep I've made a number of adjustments already... Now it has a race mode that will heat the batteries, and I'm planning on chilling the motor as well.
@@JamieHarveyJr You guys did such a great job with that event I'm really looking forward to the next one!
The Sebring takes me back to 1972. I was 20 years old and bought a used '69 Roadrunner with 383 V8 and 4 speed transmission. It ran 14.6 in the 1/4 mile...95 mph. But, it had drum brakes and didn't corner well with oversteer. It was fun and thank God I didn't kill myself in it. I wish I still had it...
This EV is a great build. It's taken the axe of the old muscle car era and turned it into a scalpel. I dig it! Congrats
Wow, now that is an electric car that I could love. One of the best Mopar body shapes ever, with modern amenities and powertrain.
Now he needs to do a '72 Dodge Charger as a companion.
13:50 min
A Quarter Mike run with a Race track afterwards?
Not bad!
You can enjoy both worlds!
Rich and Stevon are lightning quick with the banter
zzzzap.
Now that looked a sweet ride.
Great he was not afraid of using the heated seats whilst also doing the drag runs.
I just quit my job of twenty two years and building electric conversion cars is something I would love to do with what’s left of my life ..
Get 100k in equity out and start tomorrow. Literally order your first kit and start
I was thinking about working for a low wage for someone who knows what they are doing however one day I may do just that .
I got to see this car at cars and coffee. It's pretty cool to see all the work that went into it.
One of the coolest cars on Planet Earth!
Amazing build - possibly the new wave for ev’s and old cars.
So 2 questions I may have missed, how long for a full charge from say 20%. And does it have regenerative braking!
That’s the coolest Satellite build I’ve seen!
regenerative braking: my take on it, Yes. you see the dash go into the -range sometimes 16:40
@@firefly2472
Yes I seen that. But I was thinking it was just showing green because he let off the throttle.
i had those exact 2 questions, is Richard slipping?!
Thanks for bringing that wonderful build the attention it deserves, inginuity never dies in hot rodding.
BLASPHEMY! But it's actually extremely cool and beautiful inside and out. He did an amazing job. He should be proud.
All that attention to detail and no working horn? Amazing. Love it!
Authentic roadrunner horn programmed to work with ignition on but not with charge power.
This is so cool. Would love to see down the road complete drop in kits to convert muscle cars to EV like buying a turn key crate motor.
GM was considering one for LS power plants. Don't know if it ever came to fruition.
@Dave saw a drop in ev crate motor at a sema booth
@@princekermit0 only the motor no batteries or controllers
@@sumgaye5951 no it was a full kit. Total package. It had different options for different platforms. For A bodies, etc.
It would be a long time because electricity is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. No one wants to be the first company to take such a risk with such limited (easily accessible) knowledge out there.
Electric steering rack was likely out of a vauxhall corsa they use them a bunch here in the UK for custom stuff.
@6:00 use wd-40 to remove the rubber. Use it before track to prevent it sticking at all 👌
I personally use semen myself
WD40 and zip ties fix everything! 😁👍
Great tip!
I only say this because I am certain of how good WD-40 works, mostly because I work in the asphalt industry.
@@beb38138 Probably works better than the semen @Agent Mueller recommended.
That's the most beautiful EV muscle car hands down a work of art.
Not meaning to get awkward round y'all......but OMG this car has me gripping my junk! That is a fucking sexy AF ride! Kevin, amazing job sir! \m/
Love these videos, they never get old! That dude did an amazing job, he can be on my team mayday! This build was very impressive, especially if he did it all on his own. Only thing missing was a camera 😂. Greta job 👏👏👏👍🏾
That was a great episode. Super impressed with the classic muscle car conversion
I'm a hard core plymouth cuda old school guy! And I find this very interesting I like it. 👍
This machine is awesome, and I don't usually say that about electric cars. Sure, I might prefer a 383 and a Pistol-Grip 4spd for propulsion, but there's no denying that this is a well designed and built car. Thanks for treating us to a cool car, Uncle Rich!👍⚡😁
OMFG!! That is so cool. It has the muscle car look that I love; and it's SO quiet. I love it. I want a setup like that in a Mustang Mach 1....(Starts to drool). That gas pedal is like a Super Launch Pedal lol. Tell that guy he is the man! Great job dude!!
That suspension looks baller ⛹️♂️!
Thanks. Great to see respect for such a creative and intelligent build.
One of the more tolerable Bespokepost commercials. Usually they can be pretty tough. The build, wow, just wow! The guy thought of everything, and he's got a pretty sweet ride. He should be super proud of what he's done here.
Super clean build. I want to do my 73 dodge d100. It's mint condition but has a bad motor. I drive a polestar and hooked on electric now. I think the 73 being electric would be good so I can pass it down to future generations. It's been in my family since new.
Damn I want to do this to a late 60s Mercury comet. It would be so fun to commute to work in!
Outstanding. 2 of my favorite brands mashed Mopar and Tesla - Mosla . 🚗
If the steering column doesn't murder you in an accident, it isn't a real muscle car. 💪⚰️
2:39 I see that EUC charging by the wall. Looks like a KingSong 18XL.
Yep, I love that thing!
Absolutely beautiful build. I bet driving that thing puts a smile on your face every single day. Well done!
Thanks Uncle Rich and SteveON! Great episode to show us what others are doing out there.
Among the best electrics I've seen!
Really inspiring, in the back of my mind I wanted to do the same thing with a 1980s Knight Rider replica. That would be very cool 😎. Thanks again guys for this encouraging video.
"It says charger and there's a charger" lolol
This is a type of electric conversion I want to see beast this guy went all out did a classic too 🥇🥇🏆🏆🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thanks for sharing such a fantastic build!!!
This video was made before he put the CHAdeMO charger in!? What a wealth of knowledge!! Go Kevin go! 🔥😎
a more classical looking wheels would make this an awesome ride
One thing you can never use this for is a radio. I don't mean using the radio you get in any car, I mean the radio you hear when you floor it in a muscle car with a classic V8, NA or otherwise.
