ICON 4x4's Jonathan Ward Is Building an All-Electric '49 Mercury

http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cult...ic-49-mercury/




This '49 Merc is being prepped as a full plug-in, battery-electric vehicle, with dual motors providing what should be an ample amount of power. It's part of the Icon Derelict series, where Ward and his team of master crafters stuff modern drivetrains and technology into solid but unrestored survivor bodies.

"The idea is to build a Tesla killer with some style and charm," Ward says.

I could care less anything about this guy! I want to meet him face-to-face and ask him where he gets the ***** to restore a vintage Bronco and put a 5.0 Coyote in it and ask $100k to $150k for these! I really need the same medication he is taking! They do nothing special to these so the athletes or actors or musicians paying stupid money for these they should be slapped for wasting money

Hours cost money . . .

I've read it takes from 600 and up to 1500 hrs + parts($) to complete one.

Love it. Too bad it's not a 2dr. Would make a great street rod.
