EV engines in classic cars

I guess I'm just too old because I would never consider owning or driving a classic car with electric power. LS engines in older cars don't interest me either.

I love the look, sounds, vibrations and smells of my Chevelle as it was intended to be. It's not the fastest car around and it sure doesn't get good gas mileage, but I get a thrill each time I fire it up, let the clutch out and drive it down the street.

Interesting topic. I wouldn't rule it out. I've thought about what I'd do if gas wasn't available anymore and if I'd operate my Camaro's as electric. If so, I'm certain it would not be as enjoyable. I enjoy operating the machine on four wheels in real time with no computer influence over my inputs. The sounds, smells, rattles make the experience. Wouldn't be the same totally clean and silent. Can't argue with the torque though. However, a 69 RS/SS with an electric motor is like an Armani suit on a mannequin.
