10 Old Classic Cars Restored and Custom Modified with New Tech

[@Impalaman1968]

Automotive Territory, you were right, I did enjoy this video! This type of approach to performing what I call a "Complete Restification" of a classic body was exactly what I was talking about! This is. .. ( although admittedly on a singular vehicle scale, and on a MUCH SMALLER BUDGET ) the type of modifications that I perform on a vehicle. I have successfully completed that type of build that was a first of its kind , 20 years ago. I still have the truck. It's a 1983 Chevrolet C-20 3/4 ton, 2wd, longbed pickup, that has been retrofitted with the complete wiring harness, PCM, 4 wheel anti lock braking system, electronically controlled heavy duty 4L80e 4 speed automatic transmission , and fuel injected small block Chevy 350 from a 1994 Chevrolet G-30 van. The stock 350 has been upgraded to a 383 stroker small block Chevy engine with a custom hydraulic roller cam, World Products Sportsman Cylinder heads,Edelhrock Performer T.B.I intake, Custom built T.B.I throttle body that houses a pair of 454 spec injectors, and a adjustable fuel pressure regulator, true dual snorkel ram air intake airbox with a K&N filter, full MSD 6AL ignition system, engine/drive train optimization and management is handled by a J.E.T. Technologies custom burned chipset within the factory P.C.M. It has a rebuilt factory housing, heavy duty 14 bolt, semi floating axle truck rearend , with 4:10.1 gears, and a Eaton G80 locking differential. It was never designed to be a show truck, it was actually a experiment that ended up working, lol . I never cosmetically finished it, so it looks like any other Chevy Truck, until you get in it, or look under the hood. On the chassis dyno, it put down 422 H.P. and 447 ft.lbs to the rear wheels. Fully emissions compliant with a 3 inch exhaust system with a high flow catalytic converter and a 40 series Flowmaster muffler. Everything functions as intended, including the anti lock braking system. There's not another one like it on the planet to my knowledge. It is very sparse on the interior options, manual windows and locks, bench seat, no A/C. It's been the most reliable vehicle that I have ever owned. After 20 years of being used as a work truck/tow rig ( I pull a 22 ft. car trailer with it) and living in a crime ridden city, it's got its share of dents and scratches, and it's starting to get a little bit rusty, but as long as the battery is hot, and there's fuel in the tank, it will faithfully fire right up and be able to go! I also have a 1977 Chevy Impala 4 door sleeper car, and a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro. ....but they're 2 completely different stories! Great video, loved it! You just gained another new subscriber! Have a great day!

Thank you for your comment. Reading it was a lot of fun!

Tears are flowing while watching this video ... I'm ready not to own anything but a roof and a beautiful classic car!

[@automotiveterritory]

That's a nice view on life.

[@yaantsudnbesdai972]

"Sweat is flowing" while I'M watching this video. I'm sweating like a "pig" -- no........no........that's offensive, let me rephrase that: I'm sweating like a "cop." Sweat through the eyebrows and sweat plumb-the-snuffalopogus through my ears. I'm kind of like "Paulie" in Rocky II. I don't "sweat YOU!" But I sure as a 'cop' DO sweat like there's no yesteryear... Anything you can do, I can do better... You are the "fink-frog," and I am the 'sweater'... If I drove a fast car, it would be 'redder'..... like "Tragic Johnson" a Lakers triple-header.

[@cantho11]

I like it too especially in midnight blue with a touch of pearl and deep dish rims on the red car. Very nice and timeless cruiser.

[@automotiveterritory]

Thanks for your feedback. Glad you liked them. How did you like the episode in general? Was I able to dig out cars you haven't seen before?

[@billiards0518]

I was thinking, "WOW! This would be a GREAT video.... If it only had more ads!"

[@automotiveterritory]

!!!UPDATE!!! 7-8-9 is not solely based on the Chevrolet Impala design (the first Impala was released in 1958). This car actually represents three model years of Chevrolet in the overall design. The 789 has the “hooded eyes” and chrome grille of a Chevrolet ’57, a mid-section that’s reminiscent of a ’58 Impala and the “bird in flight” rear tailfins of a ’59." We apologize for the initial confusion. Cars used to be better… That’s what many of us have heard over the years. But driving classic cars in modern conditions could be challenging but why can’t you have both classic styling and modern tech? Here are 10 bespoke cars that offer just that. Which one would you get? (if you could handle the price tag, of course).

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

There was no '57 Chevy Impala. It began in '58. Top of the line for Chevy in '57 was the Bel Aire.

[@automotiveterritory]

Thank you for your comment. I will have to look closer into this car. I based the script for the 7-8-9 on the information provided by the manufacturer, here is the quote: "7-8-9 was aptly named for the three years represented in the overall design, the 789 has the “hooded eyes” and chrome grille of a ’57, a mid-section that’s reminiscent of a ’58 Impala and the “bird in flight” rear tailfins of a ’59." This sentence threw me off course. I apologize for the confusion and bow my head to the expert. Will leave a comment update under the video. Once again thank you for your input!

[@hugq14]

Alex Holub No Bel Aire either!!! But à Bel Air, yes!

[@mikesouth3032]

789 IS based JUST on the Chevys of those years , NOT a particular model.

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Front is a 1957 bel air, rear is a 1959 bel air. The sides are Mercedes? Way you can tell the rear is a 59 bel air is because there isn’t the chrome strip running up the boot.

[@63humanbeing]

Hello, love the content… Please be more diligent when preparing your vlogs.. Chevrolet Impala was launched in 1958, and Porsche 911 Singer starting price is north of $400K, double what you claimed in the vlog… Otherwise great video, thanks

I recently sawup close an all original 1966 Shelby GT500. Gorgeous. Amazing. Buuut i knew that it wouldnt handle too well which kind of takes the shine off it. So im all for these recreations.

[@automotiveterritory]

That's true. Whoever came up with the idea of modernizing classic cars is just a genius.

[@revcanon5744]

its actually a gt350. carol shelby only designed the gt500 in 1967

[@vintagecarnews5899]

Good concept

[@chaoringmeister]

Depends on the car really, some cars take to it well others don't. The cars mentioned are quite good examples of sensitive upgrading. As parts become more scarce on post war classics engineers will have to become more creative with their solutions.

[@automotiveterritory]

I'd love to see more of such cars on the road but with such price tags, I doubt that any of the owners will turn one of these vehicles into a daily driver.

[@paxhumana2015]

I wonder if the same setup for the Icon TR could also be set up with a Chevrolet/GMC truck style that is based upon 1967-1972 or 1973-1991(1989-1991 for the Suburban/1500 Suburban) truck body styles?

[@automotiveterritory]

The links to all manufacturers are in the description. You may contact the company that does these conversions.

The Caterham ( pronounced 'cat-er-ram' ) is a design that goes back to the 1950s Caterham bought the licence from Lotus ( Lotus 7)

[@automotiveterritory]

Thanks for mentioning this. This car series has quite a history indeed.

[@GustavMeyrink]

But why not show the Caterham 7 R500? Same car but has a 263hp 2L Duratec motor and with warm tyres it does 0-62mph in 2.88seconds.

[@daveb5211]

You don't pronounce it like that..

[@tamer1773]

That last Chevy was gorgeous. GM always teased with the most beautiful show cars and then dumbed most of them down into boring people movers. The 789 looks like it was done by Harley Earl.

While many of these cars rock hefty price tags, I bet there are many old vehicles that can be turned into great restomod projects for less money. We just have to put our minds into it and start restoring more of such beauties.

[@paulgoodier3777]

Great retros....love anything enthusiastic men build.......perspective? ......original always wins but these could be specialist icons in 30/40 years

[@automotiveterritory]

It seems that the original things are always better. But most retro cars are destined to become showpieces or vehicles that collect dust in museums. A classic car as a daily driver sounds cool to say the least. But today we have different standards and expectations, so modifying or upgrading old classics is the only way to keep these vehicles on the road.

I think that most of people are concerned with preserving the design but want to update the engine or tech.

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Most of these are sadly a prime example of “rebadge it, sell it as a new car” I don’t like restomods at all. If it was a brand new car that looks very similer to the car it wants to be, that would be a lot nicer. I just realised this video was souly about restomods, sorry.

[@jeffjeffrey4956]

That's all you got when faced with facts son.

[@jeffjeffrey4956]

There will be a ton of jobs for the future in conversions on classic cars. It's already happening and picking up speed. I've seen the Jag, the Porche, the Bug, a BMW, and several others that were "UPGRADED" with battery/motor combo packs and now they don't pollute AND go very very fast...faster than the sluggish engine/transmissions that they were originally equipped with. Not to mention the instant torque AND low center of gravity (better handling).
