A classic Mustang that keeps up with modern traffic

A restomod is the best of both worlds: the body and lines of a classic Mustang, with the drivetrain, suspension, brakes, and comfort of a modern performance car underneath. You get the car you fell in love with, minus the parts that made old cars tiring to drive.

Demand for restomods has grown faster than any other kind of build we do, and it is easy to see why. People want to actually drive these cars, not just polish them.

Built around how you drive

There is no single restomod recipe. A weekend cruiser and a canyon-carving pro-touring build need different suspension, different power, and different priorities. So we start with how you plan to use the car, then choose the parts to match.

Power usually starts with a modern Coyote or a built Windsor or crate V8, tuned to the output you want. Underneath, coilovers or an independent rear end give the car real handling. Four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, and an upgraded cooling system make it safe and easy to drive anywhere. Inside, you get the air conditioning, sound, and comfort that turn a short show drive into a cross-country trip.

The vintage look stays honest

Done right, a restomod does not shout about its modern parts. The stance is right, the engine bay is clean, and the details look like they belong. You get the head-turn of a classic and the drive of something new, without the compromises of either.

Answers

Mustang Restomod Builds: Classic Looks, Modern Drive: your questions

What is a Mustang restomod?

A restomod is a classic Mustang restored with modern running gear. The body keeps its vintage look, while the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, steering, and comfort features are modern. The result is a car that looks like 1967 and drives like this year: more power, better handling, real brakes, and creature comforts like air conditioning.

How much does a Mustang restomod cost?

Most restomod builds land between $85,000 and $200,000 or more. The engine choice, suspension system, interior level, and how much bodywork the car needs drive the number. We scope your build around a target and tell you where every dollar goes.

Restomod or a numbers-matching restoration?

If you want to drive the car hard and often, a restomod is usually the better choice. If originality and collector value matter most, a correct restoration protects that. We build both, and we will give you a straight recommendation based on the car and what you want out of it.
