I'm Gonna Convert My '59 To Electric!

Hi Richard!

I was not serious. I was joking about doing that. I dont have that kind of knowledge to do that, but I bet if someone wanted to do it, had the time and money to do it, they could get in contact with the guy in the video who has done it. I bet he could tell you everything it would take to do it. The thought of seeing a '58-'60 Tbird, minus the engine, replaced by a computer in the engine bay and a load of lithium batteries in the trunk, doing 125mph down a track straightaway, with the brakes and front end we have in these Tbirds, is a scarey thought....

#1 daughter bought an 1984 Porsche to convert, but then realized the commute was a bit long between charges and the conversion a bit pricey. So eventually when reality set in, the Porsche was sold and she bought a Subie like 75% of the other people in VT.

I'm working on a electric truck now, started doing my research now, found out S-10's are the easy to swap over.
