What is a Restomod?
One of the fastest-growing genres of classic cars is the restomod. But you may be wondering: "Exactly what is a restomod?" To put it simply, a restomod is a classic car that has been restored with modern, state-of-the-art upgrades. The result is a vehicle that gives you the best of both worlds--classic styling and contemporary performance--for an unforgettable driving experience in Unionville, Richmond Hill, or wherever the road leads you. Find out more about what a restomod is in this introduction from the Pfaff Autoworks team.
A restomod is a type of restoration. Put another way, all restomods are restorations, but not all restorations are restomods. Like any restoration, restomods aim to restore as much of the original vehicle styling as possible. The difference lies in the components used to meet this goal, as restomods utilize up-to-date parts to achieve both a classic look and modern performance capabilities. This means that a restomod will often look like a vintage vehicle, but it drives like a contemporary one on Vaughan roads and beyond.
Also, the term restoration can be used to describe the process by which any classic vehicle is repaired and returned to its original style. The term restomod, on the other hand, usually refers to vehicles manufactured after the hot rod era, which can include any model built since the late 1950s.
So, what parts are typically upgraded on a restomod? It depends on the needs and condition of your vehicle, but this is just a sampling of the systems and components that may be used to make a classic car a restomod:
