What if classic cars preserved the things we all love about them but got some of the modern features? Here are some of the most amazing restored sports cars that are as exciting (if not more) as the latest automotive releases. Which one if your favorite?
Yeah... Most of these cars are rather nice... except for the "foose E-type". What would be nice is if Jaguar had carried on with what they had been talking about and made the electric E-Type.
Jannarelly design and the Camaro Valkyrja are definitely my favourites
These seem to be the top picks in the lineup for many. I'd go for the Progetto Due, though
One car that never gets talked about and I think is a classic .is the BMW 3.0 csli I had one back in the 80s and loved it . still a great looking car. Also called the batmobile
Appreciate the suggestion!
I love all of these cars
If you got a chance, which one would you pick though?
Nice overview. I thought the Cobra (Superformance) model was the 427, not the 289. The 289 (actually called Ace) was more slender than the 427. AFAIK Shelby sourced the 289 car chassis and bodies straight from AC in England to put a tiny 289 V8 block in them. Then the 427 was based on that but - again AFAIK - not built by AC anymore. BTW, it's always interesting in the grand scheme of USAnian feuds that Shelby wanted a GM V8, not Ford, but GM did not want to work with him.
im 23, always wanted a corvette c2 split window. way before my time but maybe some day. it just looks so clean.
It's a nice one for sure. Hope you get it some time in the future.
There is many cars here that is outstanding.wonder if there is anyone making copy's of mazda rx2/capella rotarie 2 door coupé and mazda rx7's.
The Singer Porsches are just so fine. The level of detail and expert re-engineering of the 964 styled 911 is superb.
Their motto is: "Everything is important".
You are right. They are making Porsches even more extravagant.
This Jannarelly coupe... beautiful.
Amazing one for sure.
Hay bro
Please make a video about legacy power wagons
❤love from india 🇮🇳
I got your request. I will see what I can do =)
It’s so sad the these cars aren’t being made anymore, they are absolutely beautiful
That's true. Luckily there are restomod makers that still revive vehicles like these.
I have a 240z so one of my picks is the MZR Datsun I can only imagine what 380 hp would be like in a 240z !!!! But the 66 Shelby mustang is super nice and the Singer is incredible . Would be hard to just pick one they are all so cool in their own way!!!
I have to agree with you on this one. It's really hard to pick just one.
A real man does not need his car to “turn heads”. A real man is content to be 100% into the experience of driving his car, and does not care what others might think of it.
What models do you think would fit this description?
@@automotiveterritory ANY car fits that description. My non-turbo 2010 Impreza hatchback with its manual gearbox is a blast to drive. It won’t turn heads and won’t outgun a Vette, but it certainly will out-handle that car by a long shot. That’s what I mean.
I see, you've got a point
I don't know if they are in the same category, but I would add:
- Eagle (Jaguars)
- DBA (David Brown Automobiles)
- Dowsetts Classic Cars
- Equus Automotive
Very nice list, though.
Nice suggestions. Talked about DBA (David Brown Automobiles) and Equus Automotive in my previous releases too.
Most all of these cars have chrome accents, some more than others. It's what gives them that 'classic' look. Each are strikingly beautiful.
Good point! Which of these do you find to be the most exciting?
Catherham is the only one. Pure and at road level . Exit is tricky 😂
I'm not sure if this car made the lists but shelby cobra 427 was the first car that my grandfather drove
Oooh! Caterham!
Your favorite one of them all?
Yes
Love the Morgan
Nice choice!
Tuve cuando era joven un Porsche 911 s 1969 el mejor auto que he manejado sin dudas
That 1964 Porsche 911 is sexy, and a true classic. Alltho that Stingray Corvette and 240Z are gorgeous too.
Great choices!
I've gotta go with the Cobra coupe!
It's a nice one for sure.
Can you please put of the car manufactures sites below
They are all in the description already.
I would love to get my hands on a honda s800
lol ive tipped that car in gt sport more than ive tipped my bike when i was 5 xD great car though
Aston Martin is so Gorgeous ❤️😍
Hard not to agree with you on this one.
350 HP, I would be surprised to see that number on a dyno.
Sir where is you're promised that you will make a review of all pulsar bajaj motorcycle? 🤔🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
This is getting to smell like a COMMERCIAL!
You forgot out the Jaguar XJ-S v12. That car got me more comments from the ladies than either my E-types or my '65 Corvette.
It's a very nice suggestion, I appreciate it!
I’m 16 and all I want in life is a 240z
In that case, I wish you to get it some day . Best of luck!
If money is no object, im taking that corvette at 9:00. Wow, beautiful
Nice choice!
I would have to say the Jannarelly Design 1
Awesome choice!
6:40 Ringbrothers Camaro $750,000 😳
That's a little out of my price-range..
I'm afraid I'd have to be with you on this one.
Too bad they restored the 350GT Fastback and not the Mach 1 body style. Extending that fastback into the trunk and ending with the flip of a spoiler really made the design in my opinion.
Gorgeous, but original engines are too weak
🤔... early camaro zl1s made 450 crank... more than modern camaros...
Bmw e9 is the best looking classic car
A very good selection! In my view you missed out on the Alfa Romeo GTA-R by Alfaholics (link to my very early video of their open day) th-cam.com/video/FTt7O4oveno/w-d-xo.html .There are also a few companies such as Eagle and Evolution that do a modern interpretation of the Jaguar E Type that (in my view) looks better than the Foose version. Of your selection the Porsche reimagined by Singer stands out. Though there is now a new German company Kaege Retro is now doing well due to their use of OEM parts.
Appreciate the suggestion. I will check it out for sure. Apart from the one you suggested, which one of these did you like the most?
@@automotiveterritory Of the rest, it would have to be the Morgan.
Aston Martin db4
Is it your favorite option in the class?
@@automotiveterritory this is my favorite out of the ones presented in the video
Nice one!
interesting but couldn't make it through the video with that voice in the narration
what!! no Vipers?
I would say the Viper is the new generation legend. Will consider featuring it in the volume two of this topic
@@automotiveterritory Years do not a classic make. They are made by the impact, attitude, impression, they make when they appoear.
Romance and the automobile...
Foose's Jaguar would be the best if only a manual gearbox.
Foose's Jaguar is CRAP !, NO JAG ENGINE, chopped up body and hood, Foose RUINED A GOOD V12 JAGUAR.
After the government got to them and ruined their looks, the post-'67s just don't have the panache of the '62-'67 models. (And such cars should always be manual shift).
And not have those ridiculous wheels. Go to Eagle E-types for proper continuation cars. The Foose car is trying to hard!
@@jagitmax
I don't understand why people want big stupid wheels
The AC Cobra is nothing more than a bastardized version of the Brittish AC Bristol , a true classic sports car .
And yet the Cobra is more valuable and sought after.
I think it's important to remember that the market has swung towards those seeking affordability and practicality, simply because the young generation are much worse off than their parents were at the same age. Young people don't buy new cars as salaries have not risen to meet the increased living costs. As for these classics, they're now the pursuit of the mid-life crisis and unaffordable for young people. How much was a new Mustang in 1967? $20k in today's money.
Those were different times and the automotive market is very unlikely to change any time soon, if at all.
I'd rather have the Shelby Cobra or the Cobra Daytona Coupe from Shelby American rather than from Superformance.
why ? is the cobra from Superformance not the original one which restore?
@@hildand.arifwirayudha Shelby American is the original manufacturer and if you buy a car from them it is a continuation car. You can get GT40s, Cobra FIA, Cobra SC, Daytons and so on. All of them real, all of them registered. And if you want a restored car then why not use the company that manufactured the car in the first place? Just like if I ever get a chance to own a Countact I'll have it delivered to Lamborghini for restoration.
@@hildand.arifwirayudha Also Superformance had problems back in the day when they were the official manufacturer of the Eleanor copies from the Gone in 60 Seconds (Cage) movie. Lots of accusations of not delivering cars, promised to be part of the Shelby registry and not necessarily actually being part of it, etc.
@@jaanikaapa6925 Wow it's really important to know, so there's so many issues with Superformance car. Totally agree with you bruh, and so they're just making the copy of it right?
Dani Hildan If they restore a real Shelby Cobra from the registry, then it is a real Shelby Cobra. Only way to get a true Shelby Cobra new is from Shelby American, unless a company reproducing them has a continuation deal. Most new Cobras tend to be replicas. You can get SA Cobras in both aluminium and glassfiber. Like Caterhams they are sold both as a kit car (you or a company builds it for tiu) or as a Shelby built car (from Las Vegas). Now if the car is part of the Shelby registry it is genuine SA Cobra. Same with Daytonas and GT40s, that's the point.
So, if Superformance has the rights for Cobra and it's part of registry it is a real one. I would still buy straight from the original manufacturer.
If it was a Corvette..."I"...would only want a 1963 or 2 model...corvette looks went downhill after that..not to insult the stingray in any way... I just prefer the earlier model..so in this line up I'd have to go with Cobera as a first pick..then maybe the Camero...or the Morgan
Alpine A110 1973, the 2017 revival did not do a very good job in my opinion.
Modern manufacturers don't understand nothing... it is not about 0 - 60 in 4 seconds... they just don't get it... how pathetic
Don't understand anything, or understand nothing.
@@lolavan7750 Thank You for the correction. But I think You got the point.
Tolle Bilder aber der Sprecher ist unmöglich. Das gewollte schönenglisch zu hören ist einfach furchtbar. Zu dem emotionslosen Geplapper auf drei Tönen kann ich nix zuhören. Schade.
The Ford Mustang isn’t a sports car!
What class do you think it should belong to?
Mustangs aren’t sports cars.
Since when?
