Description:
This custom Electro-Mod 1966 Pontiac GTO AE250e convertible ispowered by a Tesla 50 KWHR motor secured by the original engine andtransmission mounts. The frame was reinforced, and the originalchassis was modified to accommodate a Tesla Model 3 Performancerear subframe, including a 350hp electric motor and 5-linkindependent suspension fitted with Tesla high-performance discbrakes and four adjustable QA1 shock absorbers. Wilwood 4-pistonbrakes were installed up front and Tesla's single-piston discbrakes were kept in the back. It also contains the electroniccomponents for recharging and managing the battery and motor. Othercomponents include a Dodge electric power steering pump supplyingpower to the original steering box and to a GM hydro-boost systempaired with a Wilwood master cylinder. Top-quality parts fromDynacorn and Golden Leaf were used to replace 75% of the sheetmetal. The quarter-panels, wings, doors, hood, firewall and floorare all new. Next, the shipping primer stripped off and two coatsof RM epoxy primer were applied. After making a few minorcorrections to the polyester, three coats of RM urethane primerwere applied, as well as two coats of RM water-based topcoat inPorsche Carbon Steel Gray Metallic (A9W) and three coats of RMC2000clearcoat. The frame has the same paint finish as the body. All theGTO's chrome components are original, but the bumpers and someother parts have been professionally chromed. The stainless-steeltrim was carefully removed and polished to a mirror finish. Newwindows were added with a gray tint to match the body color. Thelighting was converted to LED, including ORACLE sealed-beamheadlamps with halo lights and taillight sequencers. The GTO AE250econvertible has a superior-quality black canvas top fitted withreal, professionally installed glass. To complete the look,magnificent 18-inch American Racing Rally-style wheels are wrappedin Diamond Back EVO tires, which were chosen by Carl Andre Giroux,the designer behind this GTO. The Portala Red interior was fullyrestored, and the benches are covered with top-of-the-line fabric.The original console was modified so the shifter could be replacedwith a digital tablet used for gear changes.
