The hot-rod term "resto-mod" comes to mind, a "restoration" with modern parts and materials. Personally, though, I favor the simple difference between "restore" and "rebuild". To quote Webster: re7st

I was just looking at the Au Tiger for sale on ebay and something caught my eye, well more than one, I guess. And no I am ot going to pick on this car because I do not know of its provenance. However

Dammed if I know. I see this all the time and wonder the same as you. One of my favorites is a $5000 paint job over an impeccably prepped body of a car that cost $2500 new. Just doesn't seem right. H

To me, "fully restored" speaks to the extent of the restoration, not to it's originality. It says that everything is restored, rebuilt or replaced to like-new condition and that the body was probably

To me, "fully restored" means that all of the parts that are currently on the car are new or in as new condition, regardless of originality. However, "fully restored to original", or even better, "fu

My note may have mis-interpreted... I don't think there's anything wrong with any level of restoration. I have 5 Sunbeams and Jensens... only the Tiger is "fully restored". I just tend to be very pre

But, here is where semantics may come into play. I think of you car as being "reconditioned", not restored. To restore something to me says like the way it came, neither better nor worse. Recondition

"Reconditioned" sounds too much like something you'd find on a used car lot.. you know, "certified pre-owned." It sure doesn't reflect the extreme level of detail and quality that went into my car as

Stephen's car to me is a "restification" (restoration/modification) or resto-mod if you like. It's a super nice car but deviates from original. I think certain sacrifices have to be made such as selt

I'm good with "restification", though "resto-mod" is being used quite a bit by the broad car collector community. I think the term "frame-off" is mistakely used when they mean rotisserie (perhaps bec

My Tiger is maintained as close to the original as I can do it. The tires are radial, the exhaust is S/S. I believe it is more difficult to retain originality than to modify. My last significant expe

In order to set this to rest, the term "restoration" in its connotation with classic cars is used to denote return to originality. The example of the Duesenburg is very accurate. No thought would be

Same is true for my Jensen Interceptor. In the 10+ years I've owned it, I've kept it unrestored, all original, right down to the LearJet 8-track player. The only departure so far was that I had to ma
