As an engineer I have a love for vehicles. I'm selling this because I am moving to california and cant bring all my cars with me. I have a 1973 super beetle that has been fully converted to electric (Kit cost me $3500, installed by a fellow electrical engineer) its a 40 hp eletric motor with over 200lb*ft of torque and it is directly connected to the 4speed manual transmission, it needs some paint work and door hinge alignment but other than that it is mechanically sound, if you don't low ball I'll even go and put new batteries in so you don't have any issues for a few years with the power system
