Brandon Hollinger of Lancaster has won the EVTV Build Your Dream Car competition, held at last week's Electric Vehicle Conversion Convention in Cape Girardeau, Mo.
By topping nearly 1,000 competitors, Hollinger won a $20,000 component package, which he plans to use on his fourth conversion project, an impeccable 1972 Austin-Healey British taxi with a blown engine.
Hollinger, a professional woodwind player for American Music Theatre, also owns and operates BH Electrics, a car conversion business.
The $20,000 prize is expected to be a substantial shot in the arm for BH Electrics, which Hollinger is trying to launch without advertising or accruing debt, he said in an August newspaper interview.
Hollinger writes about the contest on his website, ampREVOLT.com
