That doesn't interest me one bit, but someone seems to be willing to pay north of $30,000 for it. I'll guess the builder has at least 30K in it. I've seen a few other EV converted cars on BAT, mostly older BMW, that sold for noticeably less than the same car with standard engine/trans, so it's clearly a niche market thing, but EVs in general are a niche market. Hopefully this fad dies quicker than the $30,000+ rat rods.
Car pics too cool not to share

Damnit @Squatch, you're costing me money here. Sending me down BAT rabbit holes and whatnot. I don't need another tractor, but my lawn mower is showing its age and these old 8Ns are about that size. 
Edit; you know what, I was looking at that all wrong. If I could find a V8 swapped Ford like that for $5-6k and a finish mower for $1k, I'd be saving money vs buying a Kubota zero turn around $10K.
That's a Chevy-in-a-Ford I could learn to love. Throw some big mufflers on and a finishing mower... screw a zero turn.

Kubota swap the ford
More pictures from today:
And what do you do when the factory got the two tone upside down? You switch it up some!

To me this one seems just weird enough to be French:
I wonder if the engine was installed from the bottom? That hood is tiny
Some of us can remember those trucks (maybe not that old) driving around the neighborhood selling ice cream.
When I worked at this RV dealer the ice cream truck used to come around during the summer. So had to take a break everyday to have that ice cream.
Kids having fun crawling all over the 40 Chevy , even if they don't have ice cream !
