Ford Vs Chevrolet: Five Of The Best Restomods From Each Marque

November 7, 2017

The rivalry between Ford and Chevrolet dates back over 70 years at this point and doesn’t show any sign of ending soon. The two legendary companies have battled back and forth for years. Every time one brings out an innovative car that looks set to crush the other, their opponents will strike back. I like to stay impartial on this site: I love both Fords and Chevys, and I know we have plenty of readers who are the same. In this article, I’m going to go through both firms’ incredible back catalogs, picking out five cars from each that I think sum up what motoring is all about. Whether you’re a Ford fanatic or a Chevy connoisseur, I hope you enjoy the list.

Ford Galaxie 500

If there’s any car deserving of a song by Reverend Horton Heat, it’s this one. The Ford Galaxie 500 is a big, brawny, no-nonsense sedan that has a beating heart of raw power. With a name inspired by the space race, it’s also an incredible memorial to post-war optimism. This example, first featured on the site two years ago, is about as good as they get. The Galaxie is coated in a cream paint job which opens into a beautiful matching interior.

This restomod had a good start: when the builders got a hold of it, it was a relatively clean example, but it still needed some pizzaz. It got it. The Ford’s been fitted with a V8 crate which outputs 500 horsepower and has also had a whole bevy of other alterations made. The car now sits on Ride Tech air suspension and Boyd Coddington wheels, the door handles have been shaved down, and a whole new center console’s been thrown in. From its luxurious interior to its wonderful engine, this is a thoroughly modern Galaxie.
