“It’s not a hot rod, it’s not a rat rod, it’s a lightning rod” that’s one badass way to describe it, damn

Can't beat the sound of a V8 but this is the future at least we can still keep the classic steel muscle cars as this video shows

I work in Lakeway TX and pass by their garage everyday. They always have awesome cars sitting outside. Plus the zombie 222. Very awesome to see in person.

Lord,I wish I had the clams to electrify my 1970 Torino! What an awesome car!

Best looking car ever made + electric ugh, this is simply my favorite car I have ever seen. I wish this was something you could buy at a dealer. If only battery technology had a breakthrough. With the color scheme I wouldn't be surprised if Monster tried to sponsor this lol.

would it be a crime to put a big block v8 in a Tesla?

this is a man who loves the hell out of what he does and is damn good at it. I love the classic stangs, but im never one to call 'SACRILEGE!!', if you can create something unique and do it well, or hell even if its been done a million times over, as long as its done well and put together cleanly, im gonna love and respect it. And this is a hell of a unique and beautiful build.

As the owner of a 67 fastback, I say it's cool as hell and it is the future. It won't be long before there's kits for conversions into vintage steel and why not, it's fast and it's clean to boot.

1800 ft lb of instant torque is just incredible. Especially in something that light. This is incredible.

That is as awesome as it gets. The torque is what is so wild about it. Great job Mitch....You and your team are great Man. Keep on keeping on.

The application is amazing! Embrace the fabrication and innovation

It takes some getting used to... but man! What a bad ass piece of work!

Enough juice to power a hospital.....I like that line

I love it and love what you are doing. I have owned and built many fast and loud mustangs but I have seen the light and electric is the future. Nothing like moving out in dead silence, just the wind in our hair, pure stealth. SCREW BIG OIL

This is the future. The looks of the classic cars of my youth and the power of my future.

Mitch thank you for letting this young man share this video. The only thing is my mom's man and I stopped building cars about 3 years ago together. Had we caught on to the electric evolution we'd still be building cars and getting them in car crap magazine in November issue like we did in 2012

Amazing retrofit performance. And the car still looks fantastic.

to put things in perspective; the Porsche 918 is the million dollar figure head of performance. it's hybrid, actually, and gets to 60 in 2.4 seconds. that's right this mustang gets to sixty half a second faster than a MILLION DOLLAR masterstroke of engineering. this things gets to sixty literally faster than you can say "zero to sixty"

This definitely ranks as one of the 10 coolest things iv'e ever seen. We can still have awesome cars in 2090

Most exciting innovation to date. Blast from my past and electric. How cool is this dude. Much respect.

The best mustang is the one you never hear coming

You did one hell of a job sir. You can tell you definitely respect your work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

What a beast! The '68 Mach I was my first Mustang. 390, bronze and black finish with Cobra air. It spent 6 weeks in the shop out of the one year's time that I owned it. Couldn't keep my foot off the accelerator. The horn used to blow whenever I made a turn. I could never get the right pressure down. The horn was triggered by a pressure sensitive strip around the entire inside rim of the steering wheel and if you squeezed the steering wheel too tight while making a turn too fast it would set it off, lol, which we always managed to do.. I paid my cousin 1800 for the car. Hate to think what it would be worth today. Was getting married and traded it in for a new '72 Buick station wagon, dope slap. The only other car that gave it a run for the money in both looks and performance was an all black Goat, a '67 Pontiac GTO convertible. Incredible Zombie, Mitch and Steve. Fitting too for viewing on this day, Halloween, 2018. Thanks for the memories along with the awesome upgrade.

the man who built this is truly a GENIUS

*Fast And Furious 9: All Charged Up* Great, now Dom's going electric with his Charger... 😤

This is beyond words! Just fantastic. I'm soooooo for this and want one.

Thank you for your time.

Alright I’m sure everyone can agree that they would love to see and hear a massive v8 motor in a mustang like this....BUT come on everyone you can’t tell me this is kick ass! This is so different it’s amazing! 1000hp!?!? Yea I’ll drive this in a heart beat!

Put a couple of loudspeakers under the hood and play a V8-soundtrack and no one will know it's electric :-)

Awesome job, Mitch ! I'm with him ! The G's look incredible.

Love it! Had many mustangs growing up and ended up with a 2007 Roush 427r till recently feel on bad times. Enjoy your videos and maybe, God willing I'll get another stang!

This is an amazing project build! After watching this, I am now considering buying a Fastback shell body and installing an electric drivetrain. Not only will I have a beast car, but I will also be able to avoid the strict gas emission regulations.

This shit just steel toe boots kicked me in the nuts. seeing a muscle car transformed into an electric power wheel is something I never expected to see in my whole life, but it's really cool at the same time. Seems like it could be something fun that will grow on me after actually driving one if I ever live to afford one.

Hey man I'm totally totally blown away its awesome, I want one 😎💪

This is my dream I’ve been begging my bff to do this for me I have to time him right to do a project It’s awesome to see someone built my dream It’s exciting to see that it really could be done Well done

"...more than a Peterbilt or a Mack truck." Yeah, for a full 30 seconds, then it's time for a charge! Pete's and Macks do it for a million miles - PFFFFFFFFFFFT!

"Hi my name is Steve Forsman. Nice to meet you. What am I looking at?" "Well Steve, this is called a CAR." LOL

I think it's sick, don't get why people are getting mad at someone for modifying his own vehicle. I mean, isn't that what muscle car culture is all about? Rock on, put a wind up engine in a 69 Camaro if that makes you happy

Nice !!! Thanks for showing homage to John and, The "ZOMBIE" .

Lightning rod, great name. You have started an all new class of cars

Great job thinking out the box congratulations what a great job.

Very nice. I love that stang bro!!!!😃

when i win the lottery, i will get me some of these.

That is one badass car... No doubt about it

Bad ass dude, can't wait to see the Lincoln 👍

Wow ... very impressive!! 0-60 in 1.75 seconds ... even faster than the Challenger SRT Demon!! I wonder what the G-Force is on that monster?!

I love how when he talks he keeps looking over towards the passenger seat like there is someone there.

Yo Mitch M congratulations to ya n ya team in converting regular cars to EV WITH CRAZY POWER HERE WOW AMERICAN INGENUITY AT ITS BEST HERE

No oil, spark plugs, clutches, filters, no emissions equipment like o2, mass air, water sensors, catalytic converters and best of all no gas stations

The intensity on his face when he does that burnout

finally , brilliant , its all about speed. somebody finally just wrapped it in a jewel , not a turd . I was always puzzled why electric or alternative meant the car had to look like its from outer space

Love the tech and the CAR!

THATS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In 1964 the Mustang didn't have the 271 hp 289 hipo engine. But, it doesn't take away from this story. I'm just a Mustang guy...

In 1962 I bought a '64.5 mustang convertable from my neighbor. It was a fun car.

What makes the mustang amazing is the roar and rumble of the V8

I get the same reaction with my Tesla. Some car guys think it is awesome, and others think I sold my soul for some sort of vegan hippie mobile. I think electric cars are just misunderstood. The sad part is some people will refuse to ride in one because their mind is so made up. I remember when E85 was just starting to get popular and people couldn't figure out why I wanted to convert my Corvette to run on it. They were like, "oh that fancy new hippie gas? It lowers your mileage." You may get fewer miles to a tank, but it is something like 118 octane and you can get a ton of power out of it.

Kind of like the V8 sound, this sounds like some radical kitchen appliance. But anyways, amazing piece of engineering. Probably the future and all that. 😁👍

There is nothing better than the sound of a V8 musclecar! But this is a step into the future of cars in general and it blows my mind how much horsepower and torque this car is putting out!

The production values on these youtube videos now, damn. This was a cool watch, it was like an episode on the history channel or something. lol

A Flashback ~ Like Back to the Future.

Nice!! Keep in mind this (electric performance) is in it's infancy.... :-)

when mitch does that burnout, watch his eyes...he braces for the torque and holds onto that wheel like his life depended on it...his pupils grow almost fully and black...he knows whats coming, and he wonders if he can tame it, or will it get away

I Love, love, love the '68 mustang fastback. If I had to have an EV, this would be my first choice. All others be damned. And the black/lime green colors are Definitely me. 💞🏁 I'm absolutely in love with this car.

This is the future, this is what I want. I've owned a '13 Boss 302 and now own an '18 Mustang GT. It's the power and speed that's important, not where it comes from.

Funny how cars and trucks started out electric and are now going back.

I heard about this car in the zombie book series Slow Burn, the author made it sound awesome. And he wasn’t kidding!

I would literally move out of state to work with these this is been my dream job for 5+ years after learning cnc an everything else under the sun to build my own

That's amazing, but... I'll take a thumping cammed out big block instead.

That thing has the power of a locomotive.

I love it, looks great and I'm sure it's amazing to drive, the only downside is the sound... No sound! I love the fraaaap pop pop! XD

The look at his face while doing the burn out at 10.55 😂

Next stop for this mustang should be Jay Leno Garage

It may need an aftermarket exhaust

Hell yeah, and he’s right, it is the future, can’t wait for solid state batteries as well

At minute 10:56 Mich warned and watched out for anyone around, it was the burn out of the wheels... Look out his face! .... ...aknoweledging that the strength of the car can do anything... eaven though it is the car he designed, built and driven so much ...his car.. I saw that 4~5 times He was affraitened, surprised, adrenalized, joyfull, .... Amazing!

Sound doesn't = Soul The work everyone put into ANY modified car to make it work is the soul in my opinion. Sound is irrelevant, sure it sounds "good" but that's just because of the years of the normalization of engine noise. If vehicles stayed electric and today were testing out ICE then everyone would complain about how loud and inefficient they are, like it or not it's true.

I saw the electric Datsun on Netflix: The Fastest Car. The car went haywire during a race and totaled a rare Mazda.

Yes .now you need to patient this idea. I love this idea. I only want old school look if I have to have an electric vehicle.

Pure impressive lightning build more build more

Not sure if it's a crime to muscle cars or just fuckin awesome!

jajajaja (9:05) Love the smell of ozone in the morning!!!

I have been to the mountain top and it was good!

Awesome work!

FORD , takes notes ;)

I can't wait until all the cars are electric!

I'm a firm believer that with time and this car be a great test bed that it is possible to tune electric motors in electric cars to create mechanical noise that sounds cool. This car already sounds pretty cool you can hear that wine at the beginning it just needs some acoustic piping from the engine bay.

Beautiful integrated and I like the conectorbank right behinde the fuel-flap, its electric but still a musclecar

What we've got here is... ...a fine specimen of Texas black pony. 😂😂😂 Sounds like a new street drug 😉

So bad ass!!!

thanks to pioneers like this, when fuel gets totally unaffordable, unviable or is simply not produced anymore, people like me will still be able to boot around in our once mighty V8s.. very quietly however..

AWESOME!

Electrons versus hydrocarbons. Ozone vs farts. Which is sexier? This car has 1000 horsepower. You'd put the engine of a crashed UFO in your car if you could so why wouldn't you want warp speed instead of cancer juice? Earth would have had flying cars 30 years ago if the market wasn't monopolized by oil companies combustion tech. It took sacrifice by some intense humans but now you have Tesla cars and the Blackfly flying car. Now you have classic sexy as hell cars with electric motors. There's hope for humanity yet. Keep going.

10:55 totally looks like Emmett "Doc" Brown, but just with less hair :D

just goes to show there is no substitute for old iron. they don't make bodies like that any more and as high tech as this car is the sheet metal is right out of the 60's. the greatest decade for car designs ever and it is not even close.

I think that electric is awesome, I have an e bike and it has impressed me so much that now I have an incredible respect for guys like these, until you try it yourself you just can't fathom how powerful it is.love the car and I am honestly quite a bit envious!

1800 ft lbs of torque???!!!! Sheeesh!

the burnouts don't sound right

When you get in your fifty's you know how the story ends. Exactly what i was thinking about last night at work.

Host: this car SCREAMS! Mustang: 🦗🦗🦗
