What would be the coolest car to convert to electric?

[XHabjab]

You're all wrong of course.

My choice, which is the best choice, is the soapbox derby car I built when I was 14.

How about a Ford GT? Might solve the only real problem tha car suffers from, a complete lack of luggage space.

Luggage space??? It has plenty of room for a lap timer.

I was thinking a Fiat X19 - that would fix their problem of Fix It Again Tony.

Well, since the DeLorean was already chosen, I'd have to go with the Ferrari Modulo.
I mean, it looks like its only two steps before Tesla converts it into a flying car anyway.

Cancelled my Mission E reservation ... this timeless beauty is what I really want

Full Self Driving (if you don't count the chauffeur).

1965 Buick Riviera using a P100d ludicrous skateboard. The wheelbase and track are practically identical.

I would love to see the Skoda Superb EV version. Even the gasoline version (with a littlebit of tuning) can punch 1/4 mile in 11.46 seconds, would be interesting to see what a BEV version could do.

See some features.

Here are a few EV conversions from the 2018 ReFuel event at Laguna Seca.

A Ferrari 250 GTO.

I know it's technically not a conversion as the car was never built and remained only a concept, but if you were going to build a kit car replica of something and have it electrically powered, then I think the Ford Nucleon would be an amazing choice (especially in France where the electricity is nuclear powered, of course).

... And the car that ought to be EV converted if only for its name: the Dodge CHARGER:

Dang, the Charger is perfect! I can't believe I didn't think of it.

My initial thoughts have already been stated:
'48 Tucker
Citroen DS
32' Ford (though I'd choose something a bit more aerodynamic like even a '37 Ford)

other entries:
'88 Vixen RV (uses a small BMW diesel 4cyl) 300kwh battery in the floor?
'60s Lincoln Continental
'64 Impala lowrider (they already add about 24 lead batteries for the suspension)
'66 Toronado (make it dual motor because FWD just doesn't work)

Dang, the Charger is perfect! I can't believe I didn't think of it.

What about the Buick Electra?... If only for its name Nr. 2.

meh, good name, but not an iconic car.

Lots of battery storage in Harley Davidson's ELECTRA Glide:

Ford Lightning truck... so those lighting graphics you'll put on the sides will have two meanings
