Most Wanted: 10 Vehicles Which Need A Restomod
While the restomod movement may not be as high-profile as that of simple restorations, it is beginning to gain international traction. It’s spreading further and further outside of the United States, like a broadcast of sweet machine music. In the UK, two major motoring outfits, Top Gear and Fifth Gear, have given magazine and TV coverage to restomods. In Poland, you can find Mustang restomods and restorations created by the loving hands of Mustang Clinic. The thing is, while everyone and their mechanic love to use Mustangs, Chevelles, Corvettes, and Chargers in their projects, some models need more love. In this list, I’ve pulled together ten models that I think could do with being spruced up. Some of these are money-no-object cars, and the projects would have to match. I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts on this. Which models do you think need to be given a new lick of paint and an injection of horsepower? Let us know in the comments.
