EV engines in classic cars

Does a "Restomod" accomplish the same thing?


I get it, it's not the same as original, but wouldn't a rising tide raise all the boats?

I can only speak for myself. For me personally I would never own or drive any car like a Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, etc. with an electric motor, factory installed or aftermarket installed. I would never want or own a Restomod either. I would agree that as more conversions happen it might raise the interest in the car hobby. I would support others doing conversions to EV motors if that is what they wanted to do. Again as for me I would only ever get an electric car if the government mandated them, and if I was still able to drive safely. I would buy a factory electric car like a Tesla, Bolt, etc. I certainly would not
convert any ICE car to an electric one.

Thanks for asking your questions and causing others to think about things like this.
