G'day All,
Has anyone installed a Restomod Air A/C system in their 68-74 Vette?
If so, please tell us about your experience.

I've looked over their stuff in person. They were a vendor on the Hotrod Power Tour.
Neat stuff- but its really just a dressed up Classic Auto Air piece- as they are a division of them.
You can set it up and control it from your phone...Only problem is my state just passed a law you can't use your phone while driving...So I'd have to pull over to adjust it!!!

Installed Vintage Air's Gen IV into my '71 about 3 weeks ago. Works great ... now it seems I lost the floor feature ... and that's disappointing, but overall, the kit install was not terribly difficult but it did take a couple of days as the entire dash gets pulled.
It has an electric valve on the heater coil so there's no heating the evaporator coil ... which means the cold air is C O L D!
the alternator DOES get taxed more ... 20Amps according to the stock gauge. I may end up with an upgraded alternator next summer. We'll see.
Enjoying the hound out of this classic sports car.
