1975 Datsun 280Z ELECTRIC POWERED - $17000

He's been trying to unload it for a long time, too. It's been popping up on CL for at least a year; I remember seeing it when I was shopping for mine.

His web site says the range is 25 miles, although he's gotten over 50.  Also says it has a tach.  I wonder what RPMs it measures.

Yeah I think I saw it about 2 years ago on craigslist. 

Maybe he should include a video of it running.

Or how about a Tesla power plant?

Probably not enough Teslas making it to the local Pick A Part to be able to score a drive train.  

The 25 mile range makes it a fairly expensive golf cart.  A nice experiment, but not likely to generate much excitement among buyers.

why? why? why?

i'm baffled...

Note to self:

Keep Elon Musk away from my 240Z.

 

I'm with you rossiz. Maybe he lost a bet or had something to prove? Who knows.

Wait it has a 4 speed transmission and it has AC with an electric motor. I can see the transmission I guess, but AC. Well that is at least interesting.

I hate to be a copycat, but I have to try that with mine.

site, yeah at first I was thinking "oh damn" I need to shrink it but now I like it. By all means copy it. I like the close-ups. 

The stock hood will be going back on her in the near future.
