When it comes to muscle cars, we just can’t ever get enough. From dust-covered barn finds to completely finished, show-quality, professionally-restored custom frame-offs, we see muscle cars as true eye candy. Depending on the car's condition, they are just in different stages of what dreams are made of.
Even with a rotisserie restoration that goes all the way down to a custom-color, powder-coated frame, the engine usually ends up being the bulk of a build budget. A straight scene-stealing color on a perfect body is another focus for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars and with a carload of other parts and pieces whittling away at the restoration bankroll, the interior can be one of the last places to invest money into – customization-level money.
For this reason and others, custom interiors seem to be much rarer than high-performance power or show-stopper exteriors, and why they catch our attention when we come across them. Here, we give a shout-out to 10 muscle cars that didn’t skimp on the cabins, giving us some of the sickest custom interiors we’ve seen.
10 1966 Chevrolet Nova
This 1966 Chevy Nova restomod holds a Vortec 350. It shines out with a Raven Black body.
While the black shine looks flawless, the custom interior gets the nod here. It is wrapped in bright red leather, including the console and headliner. The metal details pop against the cherry color leather.
9 1969 Chevy Camaro RS
One of the most iconic muscle cars of all time is the 1969 Chevy Camaro. This rotisserie restomod is a fuel-injected ’69 Camaro RS with a 383 Stroker.
