450hp Tesla powered 1969 VW Crew Cab - UTTERLY INSANE !
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I have been working with Electric Classic Cars since last summer, bringing the amazing work they do converting classic cars to run on electric power to the small screen. We have a TV show coming out this year.
In this video I get to show you the simply awesome 1969 VW Crew Cab owned by the genius behind ECC...my mate Richard Morgan. This epic VW bus is running a 450 horsepower large Tesla motor from a Model S and a 100kw battery pack from a Model X ! You can imagine how crazy this thing is !

If this helps keep older cars on the road then I am all for it. Surely less damage to the environment as well. I wish this company every success. Well done. And well done for highlighting. Keep it up!

As for being less damage to the environment, it depends on you use case. If you use it frequently then yes, it would be better for the environment, but if you only wan't to drive it occasionally (car shows, etc.) then it could take more than a decade to make up for the emissions of manufacturing a battery.

Heck ya... Maybe the best thing about Tesla is that we have amazing parts to use. Behind us are the days of only having fork lift DC hardware. Don't get me wrong, BEV converters have done amazing things with such cheap low tech parts for decades. If you think EVs can't be "worked on", then your just not using your imagination properly. We have been getting our hands dirty on this stuff for at least a half century. And I can still be a Tesla fan boy and a greese monkey at the same time! This thing is a #EVGrin mega machine!

Such a great thought. Im thinking there could be a strong demand for "electric conversions for your classic car". What do you think?
That gives hope to people who love their petrol cars to convert them into electric , awesome guys I wish this company all the best

Ever heard about helicoil? When some dork has damaged the thread of for instance a sparkplug hole, you insert a far stronger thread. All light alloy racing engines have helicoils installed just in case. Why don't you know these things? You had never lost that sparkplug. No way. You killed that engine yourself. Why?! OMG!

Madness in a brilliant way, electric cars with fun and soul. Cant wait for the program.
It was nice to see this old VW with new life breathed into it. That ST was perfectly placed; showing the VW's potential. My grandfather had an early 70's van & beetle, but sold them both not that long ago.
Hi Ped WOW😁😁 Bonkers but brilliant. What a great taster for the TV series later in the year. Warmed to Roger already, great guy. Already dismissed one negative, Electric cars can be fun and interesting.🤗🤗 We all know how hard you work, but when you enjoy your work, as I know you do, it’s worth all the effort.
Brilliant. Bet the boy racer had a bit of a surprise.
That looks like a lot of fun, a real “street sleeper”. Be interesting to see some quarter mile times. Good luck with the business, I think you could be onto something 👏🏻👏🏻
I have owned both a '69 and '71 bus for over 35 years. So clean and so much original stuff retained. Driving that would blow my mind!

Now THIS could sell more electric vehicles! It's exactly what people need, to realize that the electric drive train swaps can make old, ICE vehicles "green" and fun. The more companies that can engineer "kit" swaps and make the pursuit of goin' electric more inline with old-school hotrod ethos' the the faster it will be embraced. Well done Chaps!

So excited for this!!
That thing looks outstanding. VW should take notice and build something like this. Such nice body lines. This design seems so much cooler than the Tesla pyramid "truck" thing. The Tesla truck, hopefully will never be built. I don't want to live in a world with triangular thingys. Curves are beautiful. [Tesla's cars are incredibly curvy and pretty, btw.]
Light duly shed!! Moggy is a real character, looking forward to the TV show👍👍👍
this is insane :) love it !!!
Simply awesome!
Absolutely fabulous nuts and brilliant all at the same time. But can I just say what a beautiful understated restoration too. Stunning. Can’t wait for the show!!
You guys have an amazing idea. Go green and still love vintage car. Thank you for sharing the video.
It’s good to see people like you guys...what an amazing vehicule 😳🤪😂👍
Can't believe what he calls beautiful restored.
Absolutely brilliant!!! I have no idea how I missed this until you pointed me this direction. I love Moggy's crew-cab!! Thanks for sharing a closer look at it. Makes me want one of my own all the more.

As a former petrol head, cars, bikes, jet ski kinda came out of the scene when the police had the power to confiscate your sound install or worse, your pride and joy and crush it. It’s nice to have that passion reignited with this electric era. If only I still had my RST S1/2 Escort or my S-type Jag. Van life ahead, is a consideration once employed, plenty of saving for a EV conversion for the Movano. Is there anyway I can get involved with your business, your mission, your passion with Ol Skool vehicles with modern technology? Thanks for sharing, your time and consideration. Inspiring and brought back a huge smile. Shame the fiesta turned left lol

I wonder what the driver of the Fiesta ST was thinking as he could not shake you off his tail. He thought he had a Fast Ford but he didn`t did he!!! This looks as though these conversions should bring a lot of laughs and be very successful I hope.

Yes! this is what we want. Ive engineered 35 years in automotive world wide, built ICE cars and bikes, tuned engines. Looked at building EVs for 20 years but figured batteries just didnt exist. When the Tesla Model S P85 came along in UK in 2014 it ticked all the boxes and 92,000 UK miles later I still cant get over how fast and how much fun it is. To take the Tesla drive train and implant into street sleeper classics thats the future hod rod, there is just no fu*king about with a crew cab P100 stuck in ludicrous....genius. Subscribed cant wait for the other shows.....might inspire me to start my Caterham EV with Nissan Leaf rear motor project.

Lots of quirks and features.
I had a Type 2 Camper for a while, many years ago, with the old four cylinder air-cooled lump. Even with that propulsive power you were "extremely" aware of your toes, then ankles, then shins, then knees, then femurs being the crumple zones.....
