Which (classic) car would you like to see converted?

[voyager]

Into an EV... Mine is the Citroen DS. Haven't seen too many projects that feature a DS EV.
As a matter of fact, I have seen only one.... that runs out of juice after 100 km.

Why the DS?
That car was meant to move people in all comfort and silence.
It has lots of space in the front, and some in the back, to put the batteries.

What's yours?

Great question. I wish some new company would work with Tesla's OK, purchasing and minor tech support and develop a kit or series of kits to do conversions.

Now with the upcoming Model 3 front drive unit - a lot of new possibilities open up.

1967 VW Westfalia Camper. Light weight, nice flat floor. .44 Cd not great, and probably not the best in a frontal collision...

Waste of energy and effort to convert old and heavy cars

I want to convert a mid 70s Eldorado convertible.

In that the favorite non-Tesla member of my fleet is my 1988 FJ62 Land Cruiser, that would be my choice: lots of undercarriage space and access for a battery pack; a close-to-perfect frame/suspension/chassis for medium-duty 4-wheeling - and besides, she's in near-mint condition even after having explored much of Alaska, the NWTerritories, all of Baja and down through Costa Rica. And everywhere in between. She deserves it!

Why? Some people like the styling and appeal of classic vehicles. For many, working on classic vehicles isn't a waste of time and energy.

The FJ62 is probably more practical to electrify than the Stutz 8:

Not a Westy but a bus and he's got some cool EV Stuff and cheap DIY Powerwall vid

 

[Brass Guy]

I have a 1981 DeLorean. I hardly take it out of the garage any more. But if it were electric it'd get a lot more road time.

How about a 1997 Jeep Wrangler complete wit 4 wheel drive

 

[AudubonB]

I like what I see! Have you written about that Wrangler elsewhere?

 

[nervus]

For me this one: Renault Megane CC ...

Yes sir. Electric Jeep

After the Citroen DS, the Renault 4CV from the 50's comes next.

Actually, I would choose my own current car. It's not considered a classic yet, but might in future. To me it already is

Looks quite similar to a VW Beetle to my eyes. More so than I had noticed before.

Last but not least, the Citroen DS5:

My 1994 300ZX Twin Turbo. I would love to see it converted using Model 3 parts.
