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

November 7, 2017

Chevrolet Camaro

See, while I do think that the Ford Mustang is probably the greatest pony car, the Chevy Camaro doesn’t make it an easy choice. Particularly not this custom 1969 Camaro SS which recently sold for $165,000. The restomodding process on this beauty took two years and was handled by Paine Street Rods of Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Barely anything on this car was left as stock. The panels were all gapped, while the bumpers were narrowed, antenna and emblem holes were filled, and the body covered in a coat of DuPont black paint.

An LS7 replaces the aging original engine, outputting 630 horsepower. A new intake’s been crafted, and the engine’s paired with a Wegner drive system. A fair few of the car’s components have been entirely custom-crafted, that’s how special this thing is. Take the exhaust — it’s a 3″ diameter unit that’s been custom made out of ceramic. Underneath it all you’ll find sway bars and QUADRAlink rear suspension. The Mustang may be the best pony car, but this is a stallion that looks like a true challenger.
