So when my family recently gave the order to scrap an inherited &#8216;71 Squareback, I died a little inside. This city boy has limited garage space and zero mad money for restoration projects. I had to let it go. If I had a Jay-Lenoesque restoration shop, or even an extra 500 bucks, I would&#8217;ve dragged it home and made it buzz with electricity. Sacrilege? I appreciate a high-strung <a title=\"YouTube - Monster Pancake\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5D24VTobh2M\" >pancake engine<\/a> that can rattle the world to bits, but a Squareback that can spin its tires with nothing more than a high-pitched whine is simply rad. Florida-based bakery\u00a0<a title=\"Pastry Art\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pastryartbakerycafe.com\/\" >Pastry Art<\/a> built this &#8216;lectric Squareback to deliver sugary confections. Mine would&#8217;ve looked something like it, but with a more subtle paint job.
