Woodz sent me a link to a story at Lancaster Online, about a guy named Brandon Hollinger who has turned what looks like it should have been a parts car into a fully functioning electric vehicle.
Not the tidiest looking Saab, eh? Well, this is actually the good one. Hollinger bought a pair of Saab 96s – one to use and one for bits – and having never previously built anything in his life, proceeded to turn his ‘keeper’ Saab 96 into a rechargeable electric car.
This is Hollinger with the engine bay of his 96. V4 “out”, batteries and 96-volt electric motor “in”. Yes, a 96-volt motor for a 96. Poetic.
Of course, what I like about this story is that it’s not only a Saab being featured (which is good), but it’s a Saab guy being featured. As you can see in the still shot from the video, below, Brandon also owns a Saab 900 Turbo, which still runs on dino-juice.
The full story, with pictures and video, is available here.
Thanks WooDz!

I live in Lancaster and cant wait to see this on the road, very surprised how quickly this got on the site. Was just in the paper today.
It would have been on sooner if I had any energy yesterday. I think WooDz sent me the link whilst I was on the ferry over the weekend.
Cool! Original and cool. Could be the next big thing in Hollywood.
Better build a 95 with the extra rear facing seat for Brad and Angelina.
