It's no different than any other restomod, where a classic is "sacrificed" for modern amenities, handling, braking, etc. It only seems sacrilegious with a collectible like this '72 Satellite. However, there are a lot of other nice 1960's and 70's cars out there for cheap that nobody wants as a daily driver because 11 mpg and barge-like handling, no matter how stylish the appearance. Maybe this type of conversion can give a lot of old iron a second life? Maybe help re-launch the "Keep America Beautiful" movement of the '70s?

Watched the dash amp gauge go to 1800A when Rich or Stevon floored the accelerator. If the Tesla motor runs at 300v nominally, then we're talking about 540kw or ~725 hp at the rear wheels. That's a muscle car! No wonder the rear wheels break loose.

It's a real shame there's a lot of 'car guys' who completely dismiss EVs! I think things like the Prius (Not even a BEV) gave them all a bad name from years ago. EVs got this perception of being underpowered, can't drive far, and just generally being an econobox. These days... Imagine someone putting the Plaid powertrain into some classic like this, that'd be an absolute MONSTER. There's some insane cars, I just wish people gave the platform as a whole a shot, there's a lot to love. It's just different. :) Big props to Holley for hosting the event, really helps bring the performance aspect to people's attention.

I was the owner of a 1972 Satellite, my first car at 16. The original dash was far better, i cant believe he removed the dashboard light, one of its best features. I do love the electric drivetrain he put in it. My Satellite lasted until 1984, when the transmission was down to 1 gear. I was able drive it to the auto recycler and sell it for $50, then hitchhiked back to my college campus. It was overall a very reliable car, very well built.

I am an old school guy and at first it made me mad to see what he had done to a classic but the more I saw about what he did and how he did it I fell in love with the idea. Taking an iconic car and making it electric ensures it will continue to do what it was designed to do, long after the gas guzzlers are dead and gone!

@@nissanpatrol8950 Yea well like all the rest of these eco fuel ideas, if they cant make it affordable it will never make it out of the lab! At a current cost of $37 a gallon, they are a very long way off getting it to go main stream! Keep in mind "soon" is a very over rated timeline and very rarely means what it says!

A 72 Plymouth Satellite wasn't on very many guy's radar back in the day. It's weird to see so many cry about electrifying this obscure machine.

Damn I want to do this to a late 60s Mercury comet. It would be so fun to commute to work in!

RESPECT to the MAX. I'm always blown away by what you guys do & it's lifted to another level by featuring this build & the man behind it. In these days of back-stabbing show ponies, it's almost unheard of that extremely talented guys open up & feed off of other talented guys successes. As a 71 y/o, my faith in humanity has been kick-started to a level that I never thought possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 👍

The Sebring takes me back to 1972. I was 20 years old and bought a used '69 Roadrunner with 383 V8 and 4 speed transmission. It ran 14.6 in the 1/4 mile...95 mph. But, it had drum brakes and didn't corner well with oversteer. It was fun and thank God I didn't kill myself in it. I wish I still had it... This EV is a great build. It's taken the axe of the old muscle car era and turned it into a scalpel. I dig it! Congrats

a more classical looking wheels would make this an awesome ride

Among the best electrics I've seen!

I got to see this car at cars and coffee. It's pretty cool to see all the work that went into it.

It was good of you to feature this build.

I just quit my job of twenty two years and building electric conversion cars is something I would love to do with what’s left of my life ..

I was thinking about working for a low wage for someone who knows what they are doing however one day I may do just that .

That suspension looks baller ⛹️‍♂️!

Incredible. Love his enthousiasm about the car too.

Unbelievably outstanding ! One guy, at home???? Extraordinary !!!!! Americans are incredible tinkerers / innovators, and Such Car Guys !

Love it! My first car was a '71 Satellite Sebring. Made many mods to this grocery getter, but always loved the.body styling - especially the hood, oval bumper, and grill. Incredible job on the conversion.

What a super nice car that is, clean DIY indeed!

Beyond clean, jesus. The style of a resto-mod x EV is incredible, I never look to an "industry" to innovate, I look to the people, which then the "industry" copies or adopts... Love this build!

love the suspension on this man!! Reminds me of the cantilever system designed by Bolger on Dirt bikes back in the 70's that was copied by Yamaha with their monoshock.
