| This EV conversion was a joint project between Gerhard Wagner and EV List members John Wayland and Lou Tauber. It resulted in an EV that accelerates nicely, corners very flat, has killer brakes, and retains all the fun and excitement of Ford's original pony car, only now it doesn't drip oil and runs cleaner than a new car. | |
