I'm more worried about these politicians trying to mandate electric cars.
that presupposes that there is sufficient demand down the road for a company to invest in and create and sell for a profit the parts and pieces and software you may need to keep the old girl running.

a few years ago, my BIL was overhauling an old VW Beetle (70s vintage i think), and was able to source all the parts he needed to make it run better. well, with about 15 million of that model made over time, and relatively unchanged, there is sufficient demand for parts that companies can make a go of it making those parts for interested parties.

but with just a few thousand Corvettes of this model made, there is far less demand for spare parts after GM stops making enough for legal reasons. and with the propriety software they use, good luck hacking it successfully enough to make it run the way you want it to.
