Hi -
Testing the waters on the idea of trading my nice Porsche 914 EV conversion project for a 40 series or 70 series roller.
The Porsche is in good mechanical shape and decent cosmetic shape. It is, however, definitely still a project and should go to someone who can turn a wrench and is familiar with high voltage (~130VDC max).
I pulled the anemic two liter last winter and swapped in a series wound DC motor with a high performance Zilla controller. The combination generates something like 150hp.
I spent a lot of time and money on the build and used high end parts throughout. It has 16kWh of storage which means about 40 - 50 miles of range, dependent upon how you drive it (it will spin the tires in second gear, if you ask it to).
I miss my Land Cruisers and wanted to do an EV conversion to one. I've gotten in inspired after seeing a Leaf swapped 80 series cruising around Moab. Hoping to find a decent, relatively rust free vehicle that I can use as a starting point for my next project.
Would love to see what people have in case there is any interest in a trade!
I put the 914 value at about 14k, though I not as eager to sell it as I would be to do a simple trade.
Thanks for any interest!
Cheers,
Austin
