Electric Affect on Classic Car Prices

With the move to electric, does anyone have any insights or thoughts on what it will do to classic ICE car prices? If the infrastructure is converted and petrol/diesel cars are regulated, if not outright banned, will it mean that the ever rising rates of classic Porsche's or the days of Merc SL300's worth tens of millions be over? If so will there be a sudden drop in all those prices, with only the older very rare cars holding a high price and will it mean Toyota Prius' will become the new Merc SL?

At the moment the majority of cars are still ICE. How about when 90% of cars and infrastructure are electric in a couple of decades? There will always be enthusiasts, however the bulk of cars made up until recently will be made redundant wouldn't they? The ICE market would be flooded, won't that bring classic Porsche's (seen atm as a sound investment) prices crashing?
Will converting these to an electric power-train be an answer?
Just wondering peoples musings as someone about to invest in a classic car, preferably a 911.
