Who would invest that kind of money in an old car?

Spokeshave.

My 78 Ford pick up nearly finished rebilding

Front end suspension and brakes

Changed 3 spd gear box for a 4 speed with overdrive

Rebuilt the gauges console and turn indicators.

New tires all round and shock absorbers.

Very few people restore and upgrade cars like that. That would be a minuscule market. Maybe 1,000 customers per year doing custom EV retrofits to old classic and hope-to-be classic cars.

But your everyday driver / commuter car? No way in hell would such an investment be warranted in a worn-out econo-car.
