In 2022 my dad gave me his '63 Karmann Ghia, while getting it running I wanted to sell the motor and convert it to electrical. I let him talk me out of doing that. Really wish I had gone ahead with the conversion now. Since then my wife lost her 6 figure job and is making only slightly more than min wage, and I closed my business.
I just looked that car up. That thing is SICK. I hope you get to electrify it eventually. It's beautiful. :)
It is and it clocks its 0-60 in a paltry 17 seconds!
That Ghia is so light, it wouldn't need a heavy battery or motor.
I agree, but right now I have no funds to buy either.
Oh I got that, I am just lamenting the aborted project with you. I hope things look up for you soon.
