In this video, we explore the differences between stock original cars, restored cars, and modified cars… specifically those muscle cars modified in the Resto Mod, Pro Touring, and Pro Street styles. What are these styles? What does each need to have? What defines them? Watch and see.

That is the best summation I’ve heard regarding the differences and similarities. I honestly hadn’t thought about the blurred lines between Pro Touring and Resto-Mod, but there is some overlap to be sure. As always, thank you.
Thanks for clearing up the differences between the two Kevin. Great video as always 👍
I've always considered big, wide rear tires tucked neatly into the stock or subtly modified rear fenders with tubs or mini tubs to be a hard requirement of the Pro Touring identity. The Stielow '69 Camaros exemplify this well. If a car has all the requirements outlined, but stock tubs and a wheel/tire package that fits the stock confines, it's an extensive restomod, but not quite a Pro Touring, IMO of course.
Wow you sound a lot like Nicholas cage lol great video awesome narrative and cool videos
Love It!! Great Video!! What happened to Muscle Car of the Week?! When will Brothers Museum be open?!
Very good explanation. Thanks!
They get my car this month, hope to have a great experience....love the vids' informative and on point.
Very interesting episode and great Kevin's commentary. I enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for your description and explanation, V8TV guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love Resto Mods, For the Big improvement in Ground pounding Torque, like a 1968 Charger RT in 500 Option trim Smooth Rear window glass if Dodge Made the 500 in RT option trim. But one of my favorite muscle car's after the Mad max like Fmc Torino Gt Sport Roof car. with a 428SCJ Ram Air ilk.
Good narrative. Requisite to being a Pro-Touring Car would be the right suspension, huge brakes, superfast engine with proper low gearing for tight acceleration spaces, and all the safety equipment, esp. a roll cage.
Pro Touring are a street version of Can Am... minus the side pipes. I marvel at the craftsmanship of some of these cars... I dare say some are falling into that "Erector Set" theme which looks great now but will it in 10 years. Period correct "style" wheels are always a sure thing.
The Pro Street cars seem more like Pro Mod racers than Pro Stock racers to me. The Pro Touring cars seem more all around capable and desirable cars to me. Thanks for the video.
My 1969 canaro is going to be a budget touring
Do you have video(s) of that 1979 Pontiac Trans Am? If so, please upload it.😊
Sure do! There are 3, and the links to all are in the descriptions. czcams.com/video/iIk_ihliQP4/video.html Thanks!
That was good, you should do RAT ROD next.
In my opinion, if a vehicle has fake rust and it cost 100 plus grand to build, it's not a Rat Rod.
A Rat Rod is a car built on a tight budget with parts scavenged from a junkyard.
This just gave me a I Great idea, I'd Love to see the OEM's Do a Actual pro Touring Car on the Option list Something GM, FMC, & Fiat Chrysler haven't done yet & Definitely missing out on the Millions of dollars just waiting to be made. And of course they'll be Numbered car's But Cheaper than the things they offer today. Can't wait to see if Someone from either of these companies actually read my comment seriously.
After this video, I dont know what I have. I think I have a Mud.
i really like pro touring and restomod
im just more confused than i was before i watched this
What would you say is the best vehicle for pro touring, engine(HP/torque), trans, wheel size and suspension?
That is a pretty broad question. Part of the pro-touring spirit is to take a car you like, and modify it to perform better. What is your favorite platform / car?
@@V8TV I'm just asking as your personal opinion. I currently have a 1971 chevelle with ride tech full suspension, aftermarket wheels, a lil custom interior and a 350 with some mods under the hood.
@@awokeone7997 Gotcha. I think it comes down to what you plan to do with the car. First and Second gen Camaros and Mustangs can be made to handle and perform pretty amazingly, but I'd prefer the comfort of a larger platform like your Chevelle for long drives. The F-body would be more nimble on the autocross and less friendly on the open road. The cool thing is how great the parts are today to build these cars, your RideTech system is a great example!
@@V8TV why is there no love for the 1970's challenger or cuda? Are the longer and heavier than the Camaros/mustangs?
@@awokeone7997 Great question. There are some great parts available for those cars as well to make them really strong performers. I think you don't see as many because originals fetch such high values at auctions, and the Mopar crowd doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic about modifying them in this manner.
You can't beat pro street with centerlines hardcore
What’s the category for a shitbox with a turbo LS?
@@THATMOFODIRT I think you coined it perfectly 😂LS(SB) perhaps?
Pro Touring = 17" Torque Thrusts for the longest time.
