Five Cars Perfect For A Cheap Restomod (And Five That Definitely Aren’t)

Expensive: Chevrolet Bel Air

The gorgeous Bel Air isn’t outrageously expensive like the GT500, but the problem is that they are extremely popular today. As such, finding project cars is hard, and finding one near you will probably make you tear your hair out in frustration. Often, instead, you’ll see finished cars selling for $30K and up, which isn’t bad, but that’s not why you’re here, is it? You want to make your own.

So, if you can secure a Bel Air, what will you get? Only one of the best full-sized cars ever made. The Bel Air offered a premium level of luxury across all its styles, and recreating that will be the order of the day. Getting parts will be slightly more difficult than for iconic muscle cars too, but not impossible. Not as outlandish as the GT500, certainly, but most definitely more of a challenge than the Mustang or GTO, especially on a tight budget.
