What we do
Of all the 1960's American muscle cars the 1967 Shelby GT500 is arguably the most desirable. One of the many achievements of American automotive legend Carroll Shelby. With only 2,048 examples of the original GT500 ever built, they are not only very sought-after classics but also highly collectible pieces of automotive art.
While many remain enthralled by the retro look of the original vehicle, they are not necessarily as impressed with how they handle or how safe and reliable they are on the road. The industry push towards making classic cars safer and more comfortable to drive has led to a deviation from the traditional "nut and bolt" restoration. As vehicle technology has advanced, and various new car parts and accessories have become available to the aftermarket, a new type of modernized classic car has emerged.
At hi-techh Legends our aim is to try and remove the inconsistencies that are typically characteristic of a one-off type restomod build. The hi-techh Legends product offering is not a modernised restoration of an original vehicle built way back in the 60's (or restomod), but rather a modern day manufactured AND modern reproduction or replica of that vehicle, a concept which we have termed a "REPROmod".
The team at hi-techh Legends firmly believe that securing the legacy of the 1960's era muscle cars for future generations to drive and enjoy will largely depend on the industry's ability to reproduce these iconic vehicles in a factory type environment, using modern methods of manufacture, and utilising only brand-new bodies and parts.
