3 Sturdy Cars which are Popular at Classic Car Shops?

2016 and 2017 saw an unimaginable amount of classic muscle car come through the doors of a classic car restoration near me. Which got me thinking, which cars are popular in classic car restoration San Francisco these days? To my surprise, I found out that people don’t choose exotic cars like Porsche’ , and Lotuses for restoration all that much. They just talk about these European giants. Maybe because it make them look more intellectual. They rather want to go for sturdier cars they grew up with. The cars and their variants they have an emotional connection with.

What they want is a muscle car restomod. A car that has been restored to its shiny self and modified to compete in today’s high performance era. And the 5 cars which are extremely popular at classic car shops are

Ford Mustang

Henry Ford once said “You can have any Ford as long as it is black”. This is the kind of history the name ford has and the impact it has on our lives can be quantified by one name ‘The Mustang’. That is why this car is the people’s favorite amongst all muscle car restomod. However, just revitalizing the cars exterior doesn’t really do in this day and age. You have to add some power to the engine, add a few bits and pieces like Brembo breaks and power steering to give its commanding looks the due. Not to mention a nice GPS system to take you to the car show on time.

1967 Chevy El Camino

There is no classic muscle car enthusiast who is not stocked about a Camino. In fact, I remember running a few blocks over when I heard that a Chevy El Camino was going through a classic car restoration near me. Although the drivability of Chevy El Caminos are legendary most owners prefer to add updated Power Brakes, Power Steering and upgrade their whole AC units when putting their cars through a muscle car restomod. The smarter ones also redo their upholstery to make this piece of history, the perfect road trip car.

VW Beetle

Yes I know, I began this blog by saying people don’t prefer European cars but very few things speak about the flower power movement like the VW Beetle. Today, hipsters, the successors of the hippie movement are readadpting these light little cars with electric motors and making them a new kind of classic muscle car. These zippy have unbelievable torque, are extremely efficient and are great for the planet. But don’t forget that these are not muscle car restomod cars. They don’t have the weight to pull that off. These are basically dune buggies with an electric motor. I suggest you add a lot of safety features to this car modification.
