This is a very individual opinion thing....but I love a really well done Restomod. And this is certainly one.
I read a “barn find” site and that is often the question....would you restomod an old car or just restore to original specs?
Ive walked the Barrett Jackson or Mecum auction tents many times. The first time I saw original survivors or restored to classic it never made sense to me how these were worth more. They looked worse. It took a while to grasp the value of keeping it original.
While I can see the economic value of keeping a car original....I just would prefer restomod in most cases. A 5 liter Coyote and a 10 speed automatic, wow!
The only word in that I don’t like is automatic. Of course, I wouldn’t want to gate through 10 gears manually. This is a sharp Cougar!
