Certain cars will benefit from this more than others. Try to find a working drivetrain for an old MG or Jaguar! A EV swap is an easy way to bring those beauties to life.

On the other hand, those poor old 911s. Renowned for their fine balance, it's not going to be the same car at all with an extra 3000lbs of batteries.

I'd be kind of "meh" about the environmental benefits. To be registered as "classic" cars, most governments have strict annual mileage limits. That is if you even put many miles on a sports car in a year to begin with. It's probably better use of time and money to electrify boring commuter cars than garage queens.
