The 5 Coolest LS-powered Restomods
For some people though these cars can't get any better until they got LS engines installed in them.
1. 1969 Camaro
You are not just looking at one of the most iconic American-muscle cars, you are looking at an LS-engine restomod Camaro. This 1969 gorgeous Camaro hides a turbocharged monster LM4, which develops 750-horsepower. All of the brakes were replaced with disc brakes to support this massive engine, and if you're wondering about comfort, the guys at Pro Touring Restomod equipped this Camaro with air electronic heat and air conditioner.

2. 1973 El-Camino
There is something about a powerful El-Camino that makes everyone wants to go for a ride. This 1973 Chevy El-Camino is equipped with an LS1 engine, which gives it much smoother acceleration and power than what it is originally known for, as it originally produced 145-horsepower. This classic provides its driver with 325-horsepower without sucking the fuel out of every gas station it passes by; this car is estimated to use over 20 mpg of combined city and highway driving. There is something about its classy restored exterior that makes its power even sweeter; it is not flashy until it needs to be.

3. 1954 Chevy Bel Air
Some may argue that the '50s Bel Air has one of the most visually-pleasing bodies in all automotive history, and if you don't think it takes the number one spot, maybe now you'll change your mind. This 1955 Chevy Bel Air has been in the same family since the late 1950s, and it is equipped with a mighty LS engine. After the owner kept it for numerous years hoping he can restore it, he gave up on it and confronted his family about needing to sell it, but the family brought it to Shelton's Classic Cars to get it restored, and now it is fully restored with more power than dad would ever wish for.

4. 1953 Chevy 3100
There is something fascinating about looking at this 1953 Chevy 3100. Maybe because it has some of the nicest curves an automotive engineer can design on a truck, maybe because of its Rat Rod paint job that is nothing short of a piece of art, or maybe because your heart knows what the LS1 engine under this round hood can do. This is a bagged LS1 Chevy Restomod piece of art. The LS engine was taken from a Chevy Tahoe, and if you're wondering about the rust spots, these are all meant to be there to complement the overall artsy look of this iconic 3100.

5. 1962 Corvette
Feast your eyes, you could very well be looking at one of the nicest restomods in the world. This 1962 Corvette is a frame-off restoration project that ended in the most success. It features a new LS3 engine, which develops 500-horsepower, as well as a GM 4L70E automatic transmission. On the front, the grille was replaced with a 1958 Corvette grille, and on the inside, aside from the beautiful red interior, there is a seven-inch LCD touch screen stereo. This is not only one of the prettiest cars in the world, it is now capable of a lot more than most.
