If you are thinking about restoring a classic car, one of the first things that you have to ask yourself is what type of car do you plan on buying. The car that you choose will make all the difference in the world when it comes to the cost, the availability of parts, and the amount of time that it will likely take to restore the vehicle. Fortunately, there are some older vehicles that tend to be a bit easier to restore than others will be. We’ll be covering a few of those below, so you can have a good base from which to start your first restoration project.
Ford Mustang
One of the coolest cars ever created is the Ford Mustang. Whether you are talking about the fastbacks or the coupes, the Mustang models between 1964 and 1968 are some of the most iconic vehicles that have ever graced the road. They ooze style, and it is no wonder that so many people want these vehicles from the past. One of the best things about the vehicles is the fact that all of the Mustang parts are still being made by a host of different companies. This means that you should never have a problem finding exactly what you need for your restoration. Even better, because there are so many companies, you can typically find the parts at good prices.
Chevy Camaro
Another classic car that is similarly easy to restore is the Camaro, particularly the models made between 1967 and 1969. These have a unique look that is both stylish and powerful, and it is little wonder that these vehicles still turn heads when they have been properly restored. They enjoy the same benefits as the Mustang. Namely, it means that the parts for restoration are readily available. You should not have a problem finding what you need, and you will find that these vehicles are easy to repair and get into shape.
The Chevy Cheyenne
What if you want to restore a truck instead? The Cheyenne models from 1970 to 1972 are a great option. They have a unique and memorable look to them. You can often find trucks that are in need of repair for very good prices, but they are going to need some work to get up and running and looking great. It may be a little more difficult to find these trucks and to find parts for them, but if you want that old-school classic truck look, this is one of the best options you will find.
Your Passion Is Important
While the above vehicles are generally considered some of the best options for those who are looking for an easier time with the restoration, it’s ultimately up to you. If you have a certain make and model that you love and that you truly want to restore, even though it might not be as easy to find the parts, then that’s fine. Follow your passion, but make sure you understand the various types of hurdles that you might have to jump as you are getting through the restoration process.
