Arrow 68 Mustang - Estimate (EV conversion )

Hello,

I have been reading about other's projects on the forum for a little while and finally decided to consider my project seriously.

I have found a cheap 68 Mustang, with body and interior in decent condition.

My goal would be to turn it into a commuter - $ saving car.

Requirements:
-good $/mile
-50-70 mile range on the batteries
-85mph top speed (70% of my commute will be at 75mph)

I am an engineer, have time on my hands, and will be renting a garage for the time of the project.

are these requirements possible ? most cars I saw around here were 50mph top speed.

what kind of prices am I looking at ?
I will obviously be doing most of the work myself. the only part I thought about paying a proffessional for it was linking the motor to the transmission.

thanks for any advice
