1966 Mustang: A Perfect Blend of Classic Style and Electric Power

What’s Old is New Again
From the outset, John prioritized retaining the Mustang’s unmistakable character. The exterior was left untouched, with no LED lighting, modern trim, or flashy wheels to disrupt its iconic silhouette. Inside, the team worked meticulously to preserve the cabin’s vintage charm. The original analog gauges were repurposed to display EV metrics like power output and drive mode, maintaining the familiar aesthetic of the 1960s cockpit. Even the transmission was restored to a manual configuration, ensuring the driving experience felt every bit as authentic as the Mustang’s original inline-6 engine.

Driving Into the Future
The driving experience feels remarkably authentic. “Even with the electric drivetrain, it feels like a classic Mustang,” John said proudly. “The analog gauges, the manual shifter—it’s all there. No one would know it’s electric unless they drove it.”

A Blueprint for Authentic EV Conversions

For John, the Mustang project was about more than just building an EV—it was about setting an example. “There are so many beautiful but unreliable classics sitting in garages, driven only on special occasions,” he explained. “This Mustang shows that you can preserve a car’s history while making it reliable and eco-friendly for daily use.”

As a co-founder of Fuel2Electric, John now shares his journey to inspire others to embrace sustainable restoration. His 1966 Mustang stands as proof that authenticity and innovation can coexist, offering a glimpse of a future where classic cars remain timeless and relevant in the electric age.
