CLASSIC CAR RESTORATIONS
The
term "restoration" in context to the vintage car world has taken on a
definition of its own. For some people, a restoration is simply painting
a car and replacing items as needed, while for others, restoration
means an extensive disassembly and overhaul, with each piece getting
rebuilt or replaced.
As
a consumer, it's important to understand the basics of restoration
levels for it can impact classic car values substantially. There are
hundreds of ways to “restore” a vintage car or truck including but not
limited to the following: i). Frame off restoration. Body of vehicle is
completely taken off the frame and restoration includes body, frame,
floor pans (top and bottom), etc. these restorations tend to be
extensive and costly. ii). Rotisserie restoration. These restorations
are when the body (or body and frame on a unibody vehicle) are
disassembled and restored utilizing a rotisserie. Body of vehicle is
completely taken off the frame and restoration includes body, frame,
floor pans (top and bottom), etc. these restorations tend to be
extensive and costly and iii). Cosmetic or “driver quality” restoration.
These restoration are typically limited to cosmetic items including
paint and body, interior, trim and emblems, etc. Within the three levels
or restoration mentioned above, there can be varying quality from an
“in the garage / amateur” restoration to a high dollar professional
“concours” restoration. There is a universal 100 point grading system
rating classic car conditions ranging from 100 being excellent to 20
being unrestorable.
In
addition to the levels of restoration above, it's important to
understand the type of restoration as well for it can also impact value
substantially. Type of restorations include: i). Factory or stock
restoration. This type of restoration is geared towards restoring the
car or truck to stock specs from the factory as if it were new. These
types of restorations use original or oem (original equipment
manufacturer) where possible. Factory original restorations tend to
bring the highest dollars from collectors. ii). Custom restoration.
These types of restorations are geared towards builder preference over
factory stock. These can be refereed to as “customs” or “hot rods”.
Typically these vehicles will have custom paint work, aftermarket
wheels, suspension upgrades, power plant transplants, etc. A specific
sector of custom restoration vehicles is “pro-touring” or “restomod /
restomods” which are custom built with a more modern street performance
and creature comforts than the original factory vehicle.
Please note that WWVA is not a restoration shop nor do we restore vehicles to any degree.

questions on what type or level of restoration of any of our vehicles
in inventory please call our vintage sales expert today at
