You going to drive it or look at it? The "nostalgia" is great replicate it but remember these cars were built orginaly as "race cars"--1 race they were rebuilt, lights didn't function fix'em for the next race.
Street cars sold to the public during the heyday weren't much better, most spent a good bit of time back at the shop fixing problems, electric and otherwise.
I'd go as dependable, especially electricwise as you can.
Just my $0.002 cents worth
