Classic Restomods for Sale in Venice, FL

We have offered a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda with a 440 V8, FiTech 6bbl fuel injection, a Tremec 5-speed and Ridetech air ride suspension, and a 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee running a Procharged 440 with Edelbrock fuel injection, an A727 TorqueFlite and Gear Vendors overdrive. Both still wear their classic muscle car bodies.

The list has also included a 1967 Pontiac Firebird 400 with a Tremec T-56 6-speed and a custom titled as a 1956 Bentley with a fuel-injected Ford 5.0L V8. Some restomods keep an old-school feel: a 1970 Chevelle SS we have offered combines a 540-cubic-inch Merlin big-block crate engine with a Borg-Warner Super T-10 four-speed.

• Muscle cars, pony cars, cruisers, pickups and wagons
• Fuel injection from Holley, FiTech and Edelbrock
• 4L60E, 4L70E and 700R4 overdrive automatics
• Brakes and suspension from BAER, CPP, Hotchkis and QA1

The word blends restoration and modification. A restomod keeps the lines and character that make a classic recognizable, then updates what you feel from the driver's seat: engine, gearbox, brakes, steering, suspension and climate control. Restomods set up mainly for cornering and braking are often called pro-touring, and they lean on coilovers, tubular control arms, sway bars and four-wheel disc brakes.

Hot rods tend to put speed and personal style first, and the body is often part of the project: a chopped top, fenders removed or the engine on display. With a restomod, the surprises usually wait under the hood and behind the wheels. Many restomods begin as classic muscle cars.

• Restomod: classic body, modern drivetrain and chassis
• Pro-touring: a restomod focused on handling
• Hot rod: built for speed and individuality
• Numbers-matching: original factory engine and drivetrain retained

Fuel injection and four-wheel discs do not retire the maintenance schedule. Oil still breaks down and brake parts still wear, and our service center in Venice handles both with oil changes and brake replacements. Its doors are open to the public, and its technicians bring years of classic car experience to every job.

When you book, mention the engine, transmission and brake upgrades the car carries, since a restomod rarely matches its factory parts list. The aim is a detailed inspection and careful work that returns the car to the road, and small jobs are as welcome as larger ones.

• Oil changes and new brakes for modernized classics
• Detailed inspections for restomods new to you
• Share your upgrade list when you book
• Experienced technicians, open to the public

A restomod bought in Venice can ship to the other side of the world. The transport itself comes from third-party companies: you pay for it and sign on with the carrier, and we do the legwork of setting it up. Cost depends on destination and transport type, so request a quote before you commit.

Buying from afar? Start with the start-up video. We provide one for every car, along with an HD walkaround and high-resolution photos, all free of charge, and it lets you hear a fuel-injected or crate engine fire and settle into idle. Watching from home can spare you a trip to Florida before you decide.

• Our pick for any restomod: an enclosed carrier
• Hire an inspector for a detailed report, at your cost
• Worldwide transport set up on your behalf
• Timely pickup at our Venice showroom welcome
