@bikepedantic at that price, it’s not a crazy idea to pull the motor, drop in an EV crate motor, and have a slick retromod

@bikepedantic Maybe someone at #weirdcarmastodon can chime in, but is there a business model where a small restomod shop gets 20-30 of these as donor shells and sequentially converts them? I feel like there is a market for such things, and you could probably scare up 20-30 of a given model in reasonable shape. They could do it with Jeeps, or VWs, or old Benz models. Basically stuff that was made well, and have more life as rolling stock, but are very fuel inefficient.

@Will there are several doing just this. My impression is that it works best for pre-ECU cars, so 1970’s.
