Moding classic cars

Car Technology

The Ultimate Retrofit

No one can deny the style of a classic car.But the fact remains that they were built decades before the entertainment,GPS or power windows were even discovered (technology were not born then),which makes the ride in a classic car a primitive one according to todays standards.But those who dont want to compromise the comfort in a classic car can take their beauties to specialized shops which retrofits the classic car by stuffing it with new technology and changes it to a 20th century car.

These are custom jobs,often requires the entire classic car to be remodeled,not to mention the installation of state-of-the-art electronics.The classic car shown in the picture have neon lights,high end audio system with satellite radio,dual tone suede interior,two oval 15 by 23 speakers mounted in the rear and of course power windows and other automotive technologies.The rear mounted audio system enables the owner to enjoy music when it is parked.All these come with a price,and thats about US $7000

One can also fit video systems,with a trunk mounted LCD,connected to a DVD player.This picture features a 2006 Mustang convertible with a 17 inch display in the trunk.This classic car also has a 7 inch touch screen.It is dash mounted,which can control GPS,radio,video systems,a high end audio system with a 8 by 15 speakers on the front doors.All these modifications in the Mustang cost about $8000 to $10,000.

The modifications are not only done in audio-video and navigation systems,the technology extends upto security systems also.This system will roll up the windows automatically when the driver leaves the car.It has a two way remote.When an intruder is detected,a warning pulse is produced,but if the vibrations continue the pulse changes to a wailing full blast and the system also alerts the owner.
