Ford Vs Chevrolet: Five Of The Best Restomods From Each Marque

November 7, 2017

Ford Thunderbird

This entry is going to be an ode to the blessed behemoth that stalked American roads in the 50s and 60s, fins resplendent. One of my favorite cars ever made, and certainly one of the most iconic cars ever built, the Ford Thunderbird is known the world over as the very definition of Americana, and this 1957 restomod takes that and drags it into the modern age. The beating heart of this car is a Ford Racing Boss 302 V8, producing 350 horsepower. This has then been hooked up to a four-speed overdrive automatic.

If it looks like a racer and sounds like a racer, can you guess what it probably is? It can corner better than most classic American cars too, thanks to power disc brakes on all four wheels. Oh, and by the way, there’s even more chrome than on the original. The interior has been updated perhaps even more dramatically. Featuring a Vintage air system, a JL audio system, power windows, and a Haartz soft top, this is the gifted lovechild of power, luxury, and beauty. I’m a big fan.
