So we have the following categories:
OE numbers matching restorations
Clones
Restomods
Now EV classics,  is there where it goes 20 years from now?
This car was gorgeous:

Exactly what I was thinking.  But it does get pretty quiet in the auction in the evening.

This1972 Satellite "Electrolite" has been getting a lot of media attention.  It was in my local newspaper a few days ago, and I think I saw it on Bitchin' Rides tv show.  Wouldn't it be something if the EV conversion gets to be cheaper than rebuilding the engine, trans, diff in 20 years.

That car is pretty cool....takes one smart cookie to build something like that though...

Begs the question  if its better to play and engage the new technology  or to let the hobby die as it remembers what it once was.

FWIW, the JDM marketplace is seeing ever increasing prices in cars like Supra, ZX, RX7 etc as that generation is now aging to a point where they are seeing increasing disposable income to pursue their past. So things are shifting...
