They are all amazing displays of ingenuity and uniqueness until people with no care for the cars they own turn them electric because they have misinformation on the environment
Yes and the seat belt advocates had misinformation and safety, the EFI people had misinformation about carburetors, the in-dash CD people had misinformation about cassettes and the power windows people had misinformation about crank...
If you seriously think that 15 tonnes of CO2 will be easily offset by 20,000 miles of driving then I can tell you here an now that you're the misinformed one.
Restomodding is ok to a degree. But ripping out the heart and soul of a classic and replacing it with electric motors is just plain wrong. If you want a classic ev, buy a replica kit car and put motors in that.
I'm all into restomods (ICE that is) . Perfect line of events - take an iconic model of a brand and modernize is with modern parts of the same brand.
Mechatronik makes beautiful restomods, that Ian Callum's Mark 2 is something. That sort of stuff.
The prices are ridiculous, agreed. But if I had 300-400k on a car, believe me, no modern geeky supercar would see my face - I'd take a Mechatronik Benz,
Singer Porsche or Eagle GT any day over a modern car of the same pricerange.
I'm thinking a Coupe de Ville with a Corvette 7.0 V8 or a Lincoln Continetal with a Coyote V8...

My opinion: If you don't like the way a classic car is, just buy a modern one.
Or, and this is a crazy idea, why not modify what's bad and leave or enhance what's good? If you can do that with modern cars, why not classic ones?
Commenting on the Delta Futurista; guess what I found!
Wow 🤩
