Fiasco to Finished: Fiat X19 Saved by EV Conversion

Pure determination is the only path to success!

This poor little vintage Italian sports car was almost left for dead following a multi-year shop to shop tour which featured fist-handed mechanics and wanna be car builders. Flash forward, literally, by sending the car to Flash Drive Motors this car has been gifted a new lease on life.

Challenges abounded and were met and defeated by the determined crew at Flash Drive Motors. Things that a normal car owner would not even think about such as a working speedometer and window that actually roll up were just the tip of the iceberg for problems. Not to mention the crazy Sundance sourced 5-speed, pieced together vintage air air conditioning system.

The EV conversion was almost the easy part! With the proven hyper9 motor and 7 Tesla modules the drivetrain performs flawlessly. Batteries are nicely nestled in the front and back to provide an almost 50/50 weight balance. All while still leaving room for the targa top to stow away for those days in the Arizona sun.

This Fiat is finally back on the road and ready for many trouble free miles, if it an avoid the rust belt!
