Sorry bro, sold.

She's a beauty! :)

Interesting info, thanks fort sharing! If you are in the market, this sweet ride can be yours, just check the description for links. :)

Hello, the Kia oil is a 70W synthetic oil, but I used regular 75W90 oil from Canadian tire, no problems. Good luck!

@@chargerr4807 thank you so much, appreciated, also how much it is 1L or more ? do you think it is good to use the transmission flush liquid like liqui moly pro-line before fill up new oil ? just simply flush old one and fill with new ?

Yikes, but from what I hear, $7K sounds cheap! Are they offering to replace the whole unit? I was quoted $12K just to purchase the part, then its another 10+ hours of labour. I think the price is roughly $20K Canadian, so you are somehow getting a wiked bargain!

@@chargerr4807 wow, yes the whole unit. I think I'm going to have to cut my losses unless I can find an independent shop that is will to do it for $4500 or less (part is about $2800 online). I might also try and call corporate because I've had issues with my car rolling while in "park" before and they couldn't replicate the issue while it was under warranty.

Its a cute little car, the more it hangs around the more I'm growing fond of it! :) But it needs a good owner! facebook.com/marketplace/item/3285073495135351/

Because its keeping me up.... :)

Looking for $13K Canadian, or $10K USD. If in US, there is a shipping company here that'll take care of everything for you, at a reasonable price.

Bought mine in ‘84 with 24k miles. Drove back and forth to Norfolk Naval Base numerous times through ‘88. All stock in scarlett red and different factory rims and it was a 5-speed.

@@Propointmedia LOL, the eighties were awesome! And some cars will always be classics! You're right about the trans, its 4-speed. I will update the title. But hey, if you want to relive the glory days, she's still for sale! facebook.com/marketplace/item/3285073495135351/

@@chargerr4807 I would’ve loved to have gotten another ‘82….. been kicking myself for nearly 35 years for getting rid of it. Turning 60 at the end of this year, so I treated myself earlier this week to a black ‘08 GT/CS w/63k….. my remedy for a midlife crisis. Lol.

@@Propointmedia Awesome! I don't think you can go wrong with Mustang....unless its electric! LOL!

Were you and Kirk chasing other guys?

Thank for watching. The documentation shows the undercoating started in 1982, and every couple years since then, so the owner just wanted to preserve the vehicle. Its a true 11K Km car. Here is the kijii ad, car is available in Toronto : www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/city-of-toronto/1982-ford-mustang-5-0-gt-4-speed-11k-original-km/1696946529

I bought it at a ebike store auction. But these were sold about 10-15 years ago online. There were a few companies making them back then. But because the battery would always die, I think people stopped buying these. Now the kits they sell have separate batteries, and is a better idea.

LOL, sometimes you just don't want to go near a black car after a good cleaning! No trim, no bling, just black. :)

@@chargerr4807 looks fantastic 👍👍👍👍.

Hello, this is a 24V motor, so electrically, you can use either a SLA or lithium 24V equivalent for power. The original battery shell is custom mounted to the bike and fits perfectly and locks into place. So if you have that, and its dead, you can gut it and replace the cells. If you don't have it, then you have to cobble something together to get it to work. Best of luck!

LOL, the internet! :)

I didn't replace the bearings myself, so i don't know, sorry.

Interesting, I will tend to believe it. Around 1975, all the land yachts were just parked at the dealership and used car lots, no one could afford the gas. So making some more appealing, or if a customer had a wish, I can imagine how hard a salesman would work to get that sale!

LOL, yes, the heavy hubcaps were holding the trunk lid down. :) I couldn't even put the tumbler back in until I turned the car around. But its in now and the lid shuts, a journey of 1000 miles..... :)

Thanks for watching! Rubber front 225/70/15, rear 275/60/15. Wheels are from Wheel Vintiques - 15" steel, 7" front, 8" rear. Reaar spacing I believe I used 4" BS and 8" rim, so 50/50.

Thanks for watching, my configuration basically duplicates the original config. All balance wires connect to positive terminals, so B1+ connects to battery 1, positive side. B1 is the first battery in the chain, where its NEGATIVE side connects to the circuit board negative lead. So battery 5 would be the last in the chain, where its POSITIVE side connects to the circuit board, and is also called B5+. If you need more help drop me a message at james@chargerr.com.

@@chargerr4807 Thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for the video!

As long as all the leads are connected properly, it should charge as before. Mine worked 1st time.

"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." 😉

Every time! 🤣

No, once I fixed the batteries, everything started working, and I sold it.

LOL, not a bad idea, it doesn't have a brake booster anyhow, why not! :)

Thanks for watching. Wouldn't it be nice to just pass someone in 1968 a few thousand bucks and say buy one, and put it in a barn for me!? :)

Thanks for watching, yes, I was surprised how well it did, especially on one string of batteries! I haven't checked hotness, but as you correctly pointed out, LiIo are not built for high current applications, and are probably flaming to the touch, but sadly that's how they come from the factory. Not designed for longevity, oh well. Best of luck on your rebuild!

Thanks for watching! I just can't help wanting to bring this thing back to life! I've ordered a new distributor, we'll see if that fixes the spark issues. :)

Thanks for watching! Yes, it took me a while to figure out how this car starts and operates. But despite all the idiosyncrasies, I like the little fella. And not paying for gas any more doesn't hurt either! :)

Thanks for watching. If you are mechanically inclined, then this job is not so bad. The manual can be found online, its an amazing reference, so worth picking up. The difficulty will be finding a used gearbox! Regarding the shocks, yes, ridiculous, but I think its because the EV is so much heavier than the IC version. I used the standard Soul shocks, which I think everyone does, but I am starting to hear the back end complaining again, so I think an upgraded heavy duty shock is in order. Best of luck!

Sold! :)

​@@chargerr4807 Great, glad for you. Hope you got what you wanted.

@@jason-hy8ci Yes, the car has gone to its new owner, and he gave me close to what i was asking. On to another project. 🙂

Thanks for the message. I don't know much about detailing, so I gave it to a local detail shop, and a thousand bucks. :) Apparently they said they had to do an abrasive cut, and then total overall buff. They say it took them about two days, so it must have been a huge job. The paint on the car is actually a GM black, with 3 coats of clear on top, so it has a lot of good base to work from they said. But yes 'cut and buff' they said. Good luck on your detailing!

@@chargerr4807 oh alright thanks yeah im trying to get info as much as i can I painted my camaro single stage jet black it came out good for being a home job lil bit of dirt on the paint but im ok w that just sub to your channel here from moreno valley CA

@@DanielAlvarez-xl4qy Awesome, thanks for the sub. Nothing wrong with single stage paint! Buddy of mine has a single stage green Road runner, painted himself, you'd swear it was base clear!

@@chargerr4807 single stage looks good to be honest but i heard its always better to do paint n clear after but well see how long this paint job last keep posting videos of your charger thats my dream car lol and your charger looka bad ass the way u have it 👍

Sorry, car is sold.

@@chargerr4807 congratulations

Beautiful job on the car……

Luckily, it is still for sale. 🙂

😁 I'd love to!

Awesome suggestions, and thanks for checking out the channel! Come to think of it, I do recall now folks at car meets also agreeing that the build sheet could be in a few places. I will pull out the bore scope cam and check under the front seats, carpet, and see if I can get to the headliner too. It would be stellar if I could get a hold of that sheet, because engine corrections should show up as special orders on the bottom of the sheet. Lets see how it goes! :)
