This is just what I needed: An electric Alfa 164

I mean, I have no clue if this is priced right or not. Could you get a bigger range by adding more batteries? Or better batteries? I wonder how much that messes with the handling, all that weight back there...

"Sir, this Alfa is simply TOO RELIABLE! Not only that, I can buy parts for it! On top of it all, it actually handles well and sounds good! This is absolutely unacceptable, is there anything you can do for me?"

"Why of course, let me tell you about our homebrew electric conversion special."

That has been for sale for a LONG time, like that might be 2015 snow in the pictures.

I would love to talk to the owner though.

That has been for sale for OVER FIVE YEARS now. And the pictures have never changed...every single time I look for Alfas locally that damn thing shows up. I would not go look at it with high expectations.

In reply to pointofdeparture:

Hah! Didn't know it was THAT long.

I'm not buying into the idea of 15 cents for a full charge.

Oh, I'm not going to look at it at all. I just found it highly amusing.

I'm trying to figure out what is a fair price. I honestly think whatever the core price for the batteries is the best deal he could hope for.

At $1000 I'd probably be interested for all the electric conversion stuff.

But I have enough projects right now.

With a 32 HP motor I don't think handling is going to be much of an issue. That's also not a continuous duty motor so adding more batteries may not help the range much.

I would love an electric old Alfa. Wheeler Dealers did an electric conversion on a Maserati Biturbo.
