Top 10 Cars We Would Love To Restomod

August 13, 2018

1954 Bentley R Type

If money is no object to your restomod, then why not consider something like this? One of the second series of Bentleys built following World War II, this car is beautiful. While 50s American cars focused on chrome and sculpted lines, British cars often embraced a more traditional look, which really stands out on U.S. roads. This car isn’t cheap at $39000, but restomodding it would be a unique opportunity. The only real problem with the car is it’s right-hand drive, which changing is either a huge pain in the backside or very expensive.

Power through with that modification however, and you’re left with a car that, on both the inside and out, is in excellent condition. You wouldn’t really want to change that much on the exterior or interior anyway. A set of new gauges perhaps, new leather for the seats, and a modern sound system wouldn’t go amiss, but nothing more than that. Under the hood, there’s a 4.6 liter straight-six, with 60,000 miles on the clock. If you were to change it, I would add something like the Toyota 2JZ. They aren’t too powerful by default (320 horsepower/315 ft-lb torque), but are highly tuneable. They’re also indestructible. If you brought it up to around 400-500 horsepower, you’d be in for the classiest thrills of your life. Air ride suspension would go a long way on this thing, as would power steering and disc brakes.
