The 2018 Review: Our Top 10 Restomods Of The Year

December 15, 2018

This year’s been an excellent year for restomods. It’s seen a huge variety of models go under the knife: from European sportsters to classic muscle cars, SUVs to pickups, restomodding has come into its own this year. In this article, we’re going to take a look at 10 of the best restomods that have been made this year. We’re not going to play favorites, so this isn’t necessarily a countdown to the very best, just 10 that we’ve covered and that we absolutely love. If there’s a project you love that we’ve missed, don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments!

Paul Wolf’s 1959 Chevrolet Corvette

Out of all the cars we’ve written about this year, this has to be the most beautiful. Its looks can be compared to classic Aston Martins such as the DB5 and DB6, yet it packs plenty of punch thanks to an LS3. The rear wheels have been tubbed, but largely, the body has been left alone. Inside, the British-esque styling continues, with almost everything finished in light brown Ultraleather. There’s a new steering wheel by Billet Specialties, gauges by Dakota Digital, and a brand new sound system. Other nice little touches include power windows and push button ignition.

The aforementioned LS3 has been upgraded with Art Morrison heads to give a final output of 487 horsepower. To provide stopping power, Wilwood disc brakes have been fitted. The suspension has been given a thorough upgrade, with Strange Engineering coilovers at both front and rear, while a Ford 9″ axle has been fitted at the back. The transmission is automatic, a 4L65E system, while the radiator has been replaced with one forged from aluminum and the exhaust is fully-custom.
