I always though a really light electric 914 with a small, light weight battery pack would be fun. I only need 20-30 mile range

Take out everything that wont make it go or stop, all the glass but the windshield, keep everything as light as possible and treat it like a fair weather car.

Maybe even direct drive to the wheels. Even if it wont go more than 55, it would be a fun, around town car. Since there's no inspections on antique cars in PA, I could get around a lot of normal issues.
