1967 Ford Mustang into our shop for an Electric Conversion from V8 to volts.

If you've been following along you know Jack Farland and our team here at the shop have been leading the way with converting classic cars to electric drivetrains and battery packs. We have a handful of Porsche projects we are working on, but this V8 is ready for a new lease on life. This car is a great combination of our team's restoration abilities, a touch of customer sentimentality, and a chance to look towards the future.

This 1967 Ford Mustang is an almost identical twin to this new owner's first car: Blue over Blue, coupe from 1967. This was a great chance for our team to work with a new client and share our knowledge to help guide them towards the “best” chassis to start with. Now that the car has rolled into the shop we've documented, tagged and disassembled. We remove the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) and ordered the updated 173 Kit from Electric GT.

Our fabrication pros have started mounting the motor, as well as the battery compartments. Since Mustangs of this era have not been electrified much, we are doing a one-off. That means that it's all custom work, versus 3D scanned parts, like we can do on a Porsche 911/912.

Stay tuned on this fun one.
