Great montage guys! I’m sending this to my son, who you’ve met, who REALLY wanted a Karmann Ghia when he was in high school decades ago. It was fun to see my Beetle in the background. Can’t wait to see your videos of it!!

it's a beautiful thing to have these classic cars restored and electrified, giving them a second lease on life, and having more people enjoy them.

Excellent use of Team America. Well played.

I have this planned for my '66 Ghia Coupe. Looks so simple compared to wrestling with the Type-4 motor that is currently in it. Thanks for the great video!

EV West really does have this figured out well for a DIY Kit you can acheive a very nice Professional looking Install ! People have been doing the Electric Conversions to Air Cooled VWs. for a long time and as a fan of Volkswagenens i have seen some really horrible Homemade Conversions that are Hillbillied together because of Trial and Errors i had looked at a Bradley GT someone did and donated to a High School Auto Program it turned out the County would not allow the Students at that time for liability purposes to work on EV cars so i knew the Instructor and he told me. it was going to be Auctioned to high bidder i looked at it for a possible conversion back to Stock but the Car was too hacked up for my liking. i told the Instructor i would have to get the car for free to make it worth my while

I see you not only do conversions but also restorations of the vehicles too.

You leave off without giving any real indication of what kind of performance boost, numbers, top speed, acceleration, additional weight... more information please.
