Automotive restorations are profitable businesses for many. Other people like to perform restorations simply for fun. Whatever the reason, automotive restorations are often great for classic cars because they provide so many options for upgrades. Regardless of the make and model, a restoration can make a classic car look amazing once more.

As you’ll soon discover, refurbishing refers to either restoration or restomod. Original cars are pretty rare. A truly original vehicle is one that has maintained both the aesthetic and the mechanical components that it was originally manufactured with. Generally speaking, there have been few repairs.

Restored cars are those that have been refurbished to their original factory specifications using only specific factory parts. Some have been restored using new old stock parts. Although these parts may be old, they are still-considered original. Sometimes, locating parts for classic cars can be challenging. This is why many people opt for a restoration using new parts that have been manufactured to the original specifications.

Restomods are cars that have been restored but modified with modern parts and technology. Aesthetically, a restomod vehicle might look close to its original state. Yet it has many changes underneath its hood. Some car owners who undertake a retomod do so to comply with emissions standards or to incorporate safety features such as air bags. Others perform restomods to upgrade the engines and performance. Whichever option you choose, the goal is to own a vehicle that is both aesthetically pleasing and mechanically sound.
