EV engines in classic cars

Although not in total disagreement with your thought, I ask this. What if, for conversations sake, we start to see these "conversions" a bit more? Leaving out the ultra high end examples, what if a entry level Mustang, Camaro, vette etc were converted?



From there we then see a "new" generation of enthusiasts and owners driving "stock looking" classics on the street. Would the visibility of these "classics" not further the hobby and with that, the stock examples?



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?


Respectfully,
