@octothorpe I think a retrofit is a fantastic idea, depending on how much time you spend at high speeds. Anyone who spends lots of time on highways should have a modern crash structure, IMO.
There are so many great classic cars that would be phenomenal with an EV swap. Tons of great choices.
Plus, it’s not hard to find deals on nice older cars that have unpopular drivetrains. So there are potential deals in the mix.
E.g. I will one day convert a 3rd gen Camaro to electric. And I’ll probably find a nice old V6 automatic to convert and it won’t be too pricey.
