    I want to get a mid 70s to early 80s gm shitbox and turn it electric. My next vehicle will most likely be electric but no new cars interest me(especially for the price lmao), and it would be good experience for the trade I’m involved in. Too bad the rust and cars for clunkers took so many lol.

      Yeah, I also cringe at the thought that the cash for clunkers program probably claimed the lives of many cars that are valuable but were in need of some TLC. How many supras died to a crusher because they weren’t well maintained but just needed some proper care?

        If it makes you feel any better, there were people like my dad that used those cars to keep other people on the road for many years. It did increase used parts supply by a huge amount.

      I want to do it to a '68 Bonneville.

      So much room for batteries.

        Dad’s got a 75 Monte that’s been sitting in a lockup for about as long as I’ve been alive, I know for a fact that big ass hood will also have batteries under it one day lol.

        I wanna electrify either a Datsun 240Z or a Volvo P1800.

        No room for batteries at all, LOL.
