There were a number of misses here: Born in 1969 but worth a mention is the Pininfarina/Ferrari 512S Speciale - https://www.pinterest.com/pin/286541595014865642/ - actually built on the chassis of a fire-breathing Ferrari 512S sports racer as featured in the Steve McQueen film “Le Mans”. Side note: A 512S also underpins the PF Modulo depicted in the article. Also born in ‘69 but continuously improved and used in advanced vehicle testing well into the ‘70’s was the production-ready Mercedes-Benz C 111 - https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IZ_pt4PbSEQ/UIQdJRIIr3I/AAAAAAAAMZU/WLI5iVGNIFE/s1600/mercedes-benz_c111_m1_69.jpg …and its crazy homage, the b+b CW 311 - https://www.pinterest.com/pin/446489750554397039/ Finally, the Lamborghini Bravo: The entry-level car Lambo that should have built instead of the P250/300/Urraco - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Bravo ...

Blasphemy, maybe, but if the world runs out of crude and gas is no longer sold tomorrow, I would convert my '69 Mustang into electric. There may be other alternatives, like biofuel, also.

One thing to consider with today's styling are (pedestrian) safety and fuel mileage requirements.

It's not just the build that can occupy the winter months. My Caterham was purchased secondhand, and the last two winters have had me in the garage undertaking annual maintenance tasks and the obligatory tinkering / upgrading.
