OK you electric nerds! This is for YOU.
White/red.
1.5 million lb ft of torque.
Giant wheels.
Slammed to the frame!
Painted on tires.
Mother of pearl steering wheel.
No PARK option in tranny. Who needs that?
You'll need to charge this rig at an atomic power plant to keep it going.

  About the only good thing I can say for this one is that no one will ever hear you coming down the road.
 If it wasn't for the ridiculous wheels and that it's sitting under the road, it might not be a bad car.

Present bid is $8,000... doubt it will come close to meeting the reserve--- for all of the $$$ and time investment, this conversion likely only moves you a few miles before it runs out of battery power, as it lacks sufficient battery reserve and doesn't have regenerative braking... also of note, top mechanism is not working properly, crack in windshield, and likely missing other accessories.  So it was a very costly science experiment, and as stated by Cadman-iac, has those WHEELS.  Thanks for posting

  I had to look twice at the front end in the picture above as the way the light is playing off the paint it first appeared as if it had been wrecked.
 Kind of a waste of a good car. It'll never be worth what it would have been before being modified.
 If it could be bought cheap enough, it might be worth salvaging and returning it to its original powertrain.
 Electric motors are for accessories and starters.

With all the exposed connections, one wouldn't want to drive it anywhere, especially if it is raining.
