Bring on The Electrification!


An industry that is just beginning to emerge that really excites me is "Classic car restoration with electrical power train". Hopefully we will recognize the potential and save some of these art works from the crusher. Beautiful vehicles, especially large ones like this 1939 Pickup, will be prime candidates for the coming highly efficient solar/battery setups of the near future. Imagine an optimized Chevy Volt setup with longer battery life and more power. Torque is one of the strong suits of electric engines, so trucks and SUV's could be the first beneficiaries of the new process. Next time you are rolling down the road out in the country and pass that "eye-sore" of a junkyard... Look closer for some abandoned glory that you could "Recycle". Sounds like a great idea for a TV show to me!!

P.S. We will do our part by making parts available from Rightnowautoparts.com...

Junkyard Finds


Cool forum about Junkyard finds. We don't sell used parts here at rightnowautoparts.com but I find the junkyard search priciples really fascinating. This might be what I would do if asked the question... "If you had a billion dollars would you still go to work?" I just think it would be cool to find unique cars and make them workable again. Imagine your favorite old car or truck with a completely new custom interior and sound system powered by a next generation electric hybrid setup (I'm thinking an older model Jaguar). It would actually be quite a green process, but probably not a money maker.
