Nice work, but is it just me or does this take away from the car’s original spirit?

You are entitled to your opinion, obviously, as is anyone else. Restomods have been around since forever, and this is hardly the first EV conversion (almost certainly not the first classic Mustang EV restomod either).

Personally I think it's pretty damn cool. But I have always been a Mustang fan, and I know that this era of Mustang is not especially collectable. They made quite a large number of them and plenty are still running.

		This is more of a body kit for a Tesla than a drivetrain swap in a Mustang.

		To be fair though, this is beyond typical restomod territory. This isn’t an LS swap with modern wheels and suspension. This most certainly changes the spirit of the car. There's no question the first generation of Mustangs are the most collectible.

		It is like putting a Samsung shell on iPhone. It is still an iPhone.
