Back in the ‘73 oil embargo, I knew a guy that converted a VW Beetle.

Pulled the engine, and made an adapter for an electric fork truck motor.
Removed the back seat and added lead-acid batteries!!!

Drove it for a few years.

During the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) imposed an embargo against the United States inretaliation for the U.S. decision to re-supply the Israeli military and to gainleverage in the post-war peace negotiations.

Damn Arabs, always causing problems
