You’ve looked far and wide for your dream classic car. Reading articles, watching YouTube videos, and learning from others at car events. But there are terms that people, including ourselves, widely use when describing these classic cars. Pro-Touring, Restomod, and All Original cars. These types of vehicle styles have many things in common at first glance, but once you take a deeper look into the details they are quite different. Although all three categories may look similar, what you may actually be looking for in your dream classic car could be very different! Let’s take a look into these types of classics to help you understand what suits your needs the best.

Classic Body with Modern Day Performance

Pro-Touring cars are vehicles that have been extensively modified to maximize performance on the road, while maintaining the classic look of traditional classic cars.

 

 

These cars feature modern suspension, brakes, high-performance engines, transmissions, custom interior filled with amenities and a wide range of styling options that blend the iconic classic look with modern appeal.

 

Drive cross-country comfortably with confidence, or bring it to your local track and carve each corner gracefully!

This is the survivor that stood the test of time

Over 50 years have gone by, yet cars like these still stand today, yet they still look like they rolled off the showroom floor. They are limited and extremely rare to find.

 

In some cases, these survivors have been restored to factory specifications using brand-new-in-box or new-old-stock parts, or they have their original components fixed rather than replaced. Depending on the manufacturer, some vehicles have “numbers matching” components which signifies those components to be original and what the car was born with.

As the name suggests, this type of vehicle is a modified restoration.

It may potentially look like a Pro-Touring car, but there are some key differences that separates these two classes.

 

 

While a Restomod may have a combination of new wheels and tire packages, upgraded disc brakes, updated suspension, an overdrive transmission, and some new goodies underneath the hood - the Pro-Touring vehicle takes things up to the next level.

 

 

The overall goal of a restomod is to retain as much of the original look and feel of a classic car while upgrading its performance, safety, and creature comforts.
