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 was ready for a new lease on life.
This car was 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.
T get this unique project started, we documented, tagged and disassembled everything on the car.
We removed the ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) and ordered the updated 173 Kit from Tremec Electric GT.
We also painted the car completely, to match the owner's desires.
It's a very cool dark metallic blue that compliments the interior nicely.
Our fabrication pros mounted the motor, as well as the battery compartments.
Then, they painted and fabricated the engine bay parts for a clean look.
Since Mustangs of this era have not been electrified much, we did a one-off.
