Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / October 2006the electric mustang
I know this sounds like the destruction of all that muscle cars stand for, but has anyone heard of modifying classic cars to go all "green." There has recently been a lot of hype about retro-fitting modern cars like jettas, saturns, and other cars with electric motors. Does anyone know of this being successfully done in a classic mustang? Thanks Concerned about the earth, Adam > Concerned about the earth, > Adam No, but I'm smart enough to know that if we dont start building modern nuclear power plants then all this talk about 'green electric cars' is a joke!

I'm glad to hear that there are others out there that recognize the need for nuclear power plants. I am a nuclear engineering major at the United States Military Academy. Nuclear technology is the way of the future....but I can't run my mustang on atoms yet > I'm glad to hear that there are others out there that recognize the > need for nuclear power plants.

But you COULD charge the battery with it. With almost NO CO2 emissions Most greens dont have a clue about conversion efficiencies... that's why they still babble on about ethanol and dual-fuels, which basically do nothing but line the pockets of the major corparations they profess to hate, until those corps get into us so much that they are nationalized, that is...

But here's a couple of guys building an electric Daytona Coupe. http://ssinc.us/kitcar/ Signature.boB Arrived: 2006 FXDI, Red. 1997 HD FXDWG - Turbocharged Stolen 11/26/05 in Denver 1HD1GEL10VY3200010 CO License J5822Z 2001 Dodge Dakota QC 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 Mustang Coupe - Daily Driver 1965 FFR Cobra - 427W EFI, Damn Fast. >I know this sounds like the destruction of all that muscle cars stand >for, but has anyone heard of modifying classic cars to go all "green." [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Concerned about the earth, >Adam The Arizona DOT shop built a Fox Body Mustang electric car about 10 years ago. They got a DPS 5sped 5.0LX that was going to go to auction and turned it into a battery powered conversation piece for a few years. I think something broke in it because I recall looking at it when it was finally auctioned off and it was not operable. Had it been in working condition I would have considered buying it. I almost wish I had anyway. A couple of years ago a couple from Fountain Hills, Az built a 50h.p. (IIRC) '89 vert from a wrecked 4 cyl car. It was a nice job. We invited them to our club meeting, but they thought we wouldn't like it being converted to electric. Never saw them again.
