The Most Incredible Restomods Out There

What are restomods? They are vehicles that have been restored and modified at the same time to create a new type of vehicle.

You might call this action “frankensteining” a vehicle that might take away from its original performance and drive, but most of the time, creating a restomod means creating something new and modern with a vehicle that comes from a time gone by. With this in mind, let’s take a look at some of the most incredible conglomerations that have come out of customizing companies, tuners, and private garages around the country.

Check Out the Gateway Ford Bronco

What was the classic old Bronco missing? It wasn’t missing much of anything, but if you were to add more to the mix, you would want more power for the drive. For this reason, the Gateway team is putting a Roush-tuned Ford 5.0-liter V8 engine into the engine bay of an old Bronco. This new engine will be mated with a ten-speed automatic transmission to give you the level of power you’re looking for and the acceleration you’re looking for. With this amazing Bronco, you can hit sixty mph in less than five seconds, making this a fast old SUV.

A Classic Mini that Was Recently Sold

One of the most impressive restomods made from a Mini is the David Brown Automotive classic Mini Oselli Edition. This car was hand-built in England and brings amazing power to the mix. The team at DBA upgraded the brakes and suspension to give you the performance needed when out for a drive. This certainly was a one-off project that makes driving fun for the owner. Some of what can be found in this car area sports exhaust and a limited-slip rear differential. Only sixty of these models were ever made, making it an exclusive and expensive Mini.

An Improved Alfa Romeo is the GTA-R 290

With a name like Alfaholics, it’s no wonder that one of the cars on this list is GTA-R 290. This car is improved beyond the obvious turning the screws to make things tighter and work better. This impressive 1965 Giulia GTA is a sporty car that has been tuned p to the max, making it one of the most impressive and important restomods on this list. Everything has been remade to let this car be ready to race on any track. This car might not break any records but, it will glide around on the track or be fun on any road.

A Truly Unique 1969 Ford Mustang

Take a 1969 Ford Mustang Fastback and dial it up past the maximum level of performance and fun. This is what you get with a car that has been built for amazing speed and made with a custom-crafted body to give you a lower and sleeker machine. This version has everything you love, including ultra-slick paint, mirror-like chrome, and custom four-wheel disc brakes, a five-speed stick, and a powerful 428 V6 engine that pumps out all the power you could need for a fun time on the road or track.

A Recreated 1962 Corvette Hardtop

Jeff Haus of American Speed Shop restored and recreated a 1962 Corvette hardtop that was improved to give you some amazing performance. This car was built with an all-new chassis, custom wheels, an incredible LS3 engine with 500 horsepower to give you the power needed. This is easily one of the most impressive restomods on this list. The hardtop is removable, and the interior brings custom seats, modern power windows, and LED ambient lighting, which brings a car to the mix that can be extremely fun to drive.

A Charger That Can Tear Down Walls

A Dodge Charger has been created by the F & F Franchiseto give you the “Ice” Charger that can be one of the most aggressive and amazing cars that you might see on this list. This car was shown at the 2018 SEMA show, and it was part of the eighth movie in the franchise. This model is one that you’ve probably seen on the big screen with a 500-horsepower V8 under the hood, which appears to have a rear-mounted jet turbine that can rocket this car across the ice.

A Classic Toyota Land Cruiser With Much More

You won’t believe it when you see it, but modern power has been added to this Legacy Overland Toyota Land Cruiser, which brings tons of power and performance for some fun on the trails. This is an old-school brute that has a massive V8 from GM. The 5.7-liter V8 engine takes the FJ40 model of the LandCruiser out on some of the toughest trails to ensure you can have the drive needed to get through everything in your path. Legacy Overland created this model with amazing FJ brakes, steering, suspension, and tires to give this SUV the off-road performance desired.

It Started Out as a Mustang…

The team at Equus Bass created the Equus Bass 770, which is an amazing build that started out as a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback. This is certainly one of the most amazing restomods on this list, which can give you the American muscle you love on steroids. The team put a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine under the hood to make it a mid-engine car with the power plant right behind the front wheels. Nothing on this car could have been used on the original Mustang that this car is based on.

A Firebird that Could Take Off and Fly

Well, it won’t actually take off and fly, but a 1970 Pontiac Firebird went through a complete restoration and upgrade to give you the intense performance that will tear the doors off of other cars on the track. This car now has a Ram Air hood that has a 455 cubic-inch engine underneath to give this car some amazing power. Covered with a glossy Orange Paint, an amazing black interior, and an attractive custom Firebird decal on the hood, this is a car that everyone would love to drive.

A New Car Based on One We Love

The Devon GTX is based on the Dodge Viper, which was already an amazing car in its own right. This car took the Viper platform and improved it with a 650-horsepower engine, a bespoke interior, and an incredible new body to give you the drive and look you might want to enjoy. There was a plan for full-scale production of this car, but that never came to be, and all we ever got was a prototype model called the Devon GTX.

Taking the DeLorean to Another Level

Even though the DMC-12 was a failure in the automotive market, doesn’t mean that a company can’t take this car and create one of the most amazing restomods in the market. The DMC offers the hard shape we admire and by taking this car and putting it in black while adding more power to the mix, gives you a car that is ready to push the boundaries of time and space. While not the DMC-12 from the Back to the Future movies, this version would have been much cooler for Marty and Doc Brown to drive.
