Into an EV... Mine is the Citroen DS. Haven't seen too many projects that feature a DS EV. As a matter of fact, I have seen only one.... that runs out of juice after 100 km. Why the DS? That car was meant to move people in all comfort and silence. It has lots of space in the front, and some in the back, to put the batteries. Here is another list: Pure awesomeness: Top 10 EV classic car conversions What's yours?
Great question. I wish some new company would work with Tesla's OK, purchasing and minor tech support and develop a kit or series of kits to do conversions. Now with the upcoming Model 3 front drive unit - a lot of new possibilities open up.
1967 VW Westfalia Camper. Light weight, nice flat floor. .44 Cd not great, and probably not the best in a frontal collision...
In that the favorite non-Tesla member of my fleet is my 1988 FJ62 Land Cruiser, that would be my choice: lots of undercarriage space and access for a battery pack; a close-to-perfect frame/suspension/chassis for medium-duty 4-wheeling - and besides, she's in near-mint condition even after having explored much of Alaska, the NWTerritories, all of Baja and down through Costa Rica. And everywhere in between. She deserves it!
Why? Some people like the styling and appeal of classic vehicles. For many, working on classic vehicles isn't a waste of time and energy.
I have a 1981 DeLorean. I hardly take it out of the garage any more. But if it were electric it'd get a lot more road time.

Actually, I would choose my own current car. It's not considered a classic yet, but might in future. To me it already is
