Tesla in a classic Impala - Swedish style.
This is long, but I found it interesting. Love the interviewer - he knows little or nothing about big ol' Murrican iron, but his enthusiasm is infectious!
(spoiler alert, the conversion is done to a very high standard!)

I've always loved that 60s-70s Chevy pale yellow color.
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but that looks like a '66 or '67. I had a '65. The truck was over 6' wide at the widest part. The trunk was also 6' deep. This is very cool and well done.

Thanks for posting. That was very cool. I'd drive that '66. Well done to the Swedes that built it.

Excellent job putting it all together.
I wish the interviewer had actually listened to the owner. Best Les

If they had an early 70's Monte Carlo converted I'd be quite aroused.

Cool car.
The interviewer sounds like that goober oriental kid in the movie “16 candles”. |

I'm not a man of means, but if I ever become one I want an electrified classic such as the above. GM really had incredible styling in the 1960s . . .

The only thing that seemed to be missing (for me, probably not so much for them) would be AC.
