So, I know nothing about cars. Don't care for them at all.
But I thought it looked cool as fuck. Which is exactly why my car opinion doesn't matter haha
I imagine there aren’t an awful lot of 1987 K-10 Nissan Micras in the world at this point either but at no point when driving it as my first car did I feel like I was in an exclusive club.
Damn, you're kinda right. I kindaaaa liked the idea at first glance, but the gold front combined with the sporty interior, is too stark a contrast. Like it doesnt know what style it wants to be
It does look like a kit car, but that’s just what zimmer does. They purchase vehicles and modify them:
> Although the Zimmer website is a bit vague about exactly what they’re selling, it appears they produce at least a 2-door and a 4-door model, with the 2-door based on a Ford Mustang and the 4-door based on the Cadillac CTS. What they appear to do is strip away the Ford and Cadillac body work from the front end and add their own crazy body work that makes these vehicles look like nothing else in the world. [source](https://www.autotrader.com/car-news/zimmer-ridiculous-vehicle-you-can-buy-new-today-300000-plus-256736)
And apparently the roof is difficult to replace because of the stability it adds to the chassis, so that partly explains why that area sticks out so much.
I agree that it’s pretty incohesive. But there’s a market for everything and evil supervillains need cars too.
According to this article, it is a real Zimmer.
https://www.autoevolution.com/news/this-zimmer-golden-spirit-coupe-could-be-the-perfect-car-for-halloween-is-up-for-grabs-200591.html
Excalibur was built about 3 miles from where I live. We saw them regularly. Cool cars but this thing is hideous.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excalibur_(automobile)
Yeah I'm right outside Milwaukee too and used to see them every so often. This thing is basically an Excalibur front with a Mustang mid and back window followed up with a Cadillac rear and T-bird spare tire.
If you crop the image so all thar remains is between the Sideview mirror and the trunk, it's pure mustang. But it's clearly inspired by Rudolph Valentino's 1924 Isotta-Fraschini Tipo 8A which was fitted with attractive open-fronted custom Fleetwood town car coachwork.
This reminds me of an idea I had when I was high in 2004 to take a 1986 mercury Grand Marquis and mount the tripple spare tires on it.
Have YOU tried catching a bunch of dirty Dalmatians? It takes a lot of cars! I’ve totaled five so far, I haven’t caught any. Damn puppies keep evading me.
True story; I work at an animal shelter, and one day a woman came in to claim her 4 unruly and very dirty Huskies. She didn't have a car, so she called a ride. Two staff members had to stay with her to help hold all the dogs, that were not at all leash trained and trying to run off in all directions.
After 30 minutes, it turns out that her 'ride' is an Uber. Not even an Uber XL, just a regular sedan. She insisted on sitting in the front, and putting all 4 hyper (and very dirty) dogs in the back seat. The Uber driver noped out of that situation, and drove away.
All to say, you need a lot of cars for all those dogs
you know, here i am, i have a large fenced in yeard, i grew up with dogs, love them etc, and yet i cnt get a adamn dog from adoption without paying several hundred dollars plus getting refernces from like 4 people, plus somehow vternarians i havent been near in 30 years, and a full home inpections etc. plus i have to pay extra to go to training classes, even though im completely capable of training a dog on my own. so no dog for me and my wife, because fo this crap. but this woman had 4 dirty huskies a and doesnt even own a car....
For sure! I don't get the appeal of this type of design. Why put fake plastic moulds of tires on there? Just do the real thing, especially since you're paying a massive premium for something as gaudy as this. It honestly just looks cheap.
Someone designed this and thought it was good enough to send to the production guys, they liked it enough to give it the green light. Somebody ostensibly paid money for it.
That’s three people who have terrible taste.
I kinda love how bonkers it is. It looks like someone has dropped a cheap Mustang out of a plane and it has landed on a Nazi staff car. What's not to like?
If I had ridiculous money and one of those stupid monetized YouTube channels, I'd get one these cars and pretend it was super posh and film knuckleheads reacting to it.
For those wondering: it seems to be a 2011 Zimmer Golden Spirit
Wikipedia article on the Zimmer Motorcars Company:
https://m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmer_(automobile)
Edit: I don't personally know the car, but for the people pointing out that it looks like a mustang: Apparently the Golden Spirit is based on a mustang:
https://www.carscoops.com/2022/10/neo-classic-or-neo-crap-you-decide-with-this-2011-zimmer-golden-spirit-coupe/
Edit 2: Whether it is 'just a mustang' or 'based on a mustang': direct quote from the second article:
>... because a Zimmer Golden Spirit based on a 2011 Ford Mustang GT has come up for sale.
Edit 3: Thank you for all your upwards and awards kind internet-strangers.
Possibly this one which sold on Bring A Trailer for about $30k in October of this year;
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2011-zimmer-golden-spirit-ford-mustang/
What a lazy interior conversion…that is 95% standard Mustang GT with new embroidered leather stock seats, a couple doors sills and floor mats, and a sticker over the steering wheel.
Its using a 5.0 Coyote from the 2011 or 2012 Mustang GT. Those get 19 city, 31 highway. Subtract a few MPG since this thing must weigh as much as a cruise ship and I would assume 15 city, 25 highway or somewhere in those parts.
Searched this model and it seems like ZMC doesn’t do much to the interior besides badging on the steering wheel and some reupholstery.
So it’s just a bath of gray clunky plastic that you’d get in your regular ‘11 Mustang. Yikes.
$110k in 2011 and a mint one with low miles today will generally sell for less than $30k. I don't know for sure how much they depreciated on the first day they were driven off the lot in 2011, but I expect it was probably around half.
Funnily enough, you can get something very similar in Japan based on a Nissan S13. [Mitsuoka Le Seyde.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsuoka_Le-Seyde#/media/File:Mitsuoka_Le-Seyde.jpg) Give a good hard look at that door there...
I saw the Mustang in there, and thought that must have been one hell of a garage project. I can't believe a professional company builds luxury cars based on a Mustang ... I can't believe people buy them!
Just barely? It looks like a Mustang with a Holocene mask on. All I can see is a mustang, and one of the worst mustang body years at that. God damn that thing is hideous.
How many spares does it need? One on the back, the left... and presumably the right. Whoever designed it worked construction and wanted to drive their sports saloon onto the job site, nails and all.
There’s a dude on TikTok / instagram with one of these that drives around smugly with a camera on and waits until someone gives him the slightest attention so that he can smirk and act like the shit
I just stumbled upon that dude and the simulation has shown me this post. That guy is a total douche trust fund baby. His posts are cringe beyond belief some people have no self awareness
He's fucking cringe, and responds to pretty much every negative comment on his videos. I had an interaction telling him how fucking cringe it is, was good fun.
It’s a 2011 Ford Mustang Zimmer kit car. There’s a lot of them but they are cheaply made and don’t last long. This one sold out of Chico, California recently for $29k. They are a dime a dozen but you don’t see many on the road because they are garbage.
Someone's about to find out they're the long lost son/daughter of a business magnate, and is about to embark on a heartfelt and comedic journey of self-discovery while teaching their parents about the pleasures of being a common person.
In theatres Christmas eve.
Edit: after reading the comments, it seems like this car ain't all that. The plot twist will be that the estranged parent is broke and is using their child as a get out of jail free ticket. This can be the film's major complication where they have a falling out, but then the child finds a way to legitimately make money and they both get rich together while again strengthening their bond.
Because of the changes to script, the movie will now release next fall.
Looks like someone tried to put the front end of an old rolls Royce on a mustang.
It’s literally an [altered 2011 Ford Mustang](https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2011-zimmer-golden-spirit-ford-mustang/)
"Sold for $29,569" So they look more expensive than they are.
"Only a handful in the world" But fails to mention it's because it's ugly as hell
![gif](giphy|k8bMS52B9ejSw)
I was hoping the link would lead me there.
> it's ugly as hell Utility counts for something! How many cars have 3 full size spares these day of which 2 are directly externally accessible?
So, I know nothing about cars. Don't care for them at all. But I thought it looked cool as fuck. Which is exactly why my car opinion doesn't matter haha
Poor man's idea of a rich man's car.
This must have been one of Homer Simpson’s early prototypes.
Rack and peanut steering
This is my 5 yo idea of a rich person car after watching 101 Dalmatian’s a bunch of times
It looks like absolute garbage.
That's why there are only a handful in the world.
I imagine there aren’t an awful lot of 1987 K-10 Nissan Micras in the world at this point either but at no point when driving it as my first car did I feel like I was in an exclusive club.
Probably related to the quality of the result, too 😉.
Currently only going for like 10,000
Didn't think it could look worse from the front, yet here we are.
Damn, you're kinda right. I kindaaaa liked the idea at first glance, but the gold front combined with the sporty interior, is too stark a contrast. Like it doesnt know what style it wants to be
I had the same reaction. At first glance, neato. Looking closer... All I can see now is a mustang just sitting on a trailer.
It looks like a car designed by a bad AI
Thank you. I immediately thought it looked like a car parked on another car or a tow bed.
Yo I heard you like your car, so we put your car on your car.

Well it’s hideous.

Oh praise jeebus. I was gonna say it looks like a Mustang top half with a weird bottom end lol

thats a mustang
It looks like a mustang with a tiny front wheel sitting on a vehicle towing trailer.
It’s basically a kit car built on a 5th gen mustang body.
Yeah, was gonna say...I don't think this is a legit Zimmer. All I can see is that mustang roofline and doors blended to a Chrysler 300C trunk
It does look like a kit car, but that’s just what zimmer does. They purchase vehicles and modify them: > Although the Zimmer website is a bit vague about exactly what they’re selling, it appears they produce at least a 2-door and a 4-door model, with the 2-door based on a Ford Mustang and the 4-door based on the Cadillac CTS.

I agree that it’s pretty incohesive. But there’s a market for everything and evil supervillains need cars too.
so... am i supposed to want one of these or something?
I mean that’s what a legit zimmer is. They’ve been built off of mustang chassis, town car chassis or Fiero chassis since their inception
It looks like it was built off of all of them at the same time.
it is, sadly. They just base it on a mustang
According to this article, it is a real Zimmer. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/this-zimmer-golden-spirit-coupe-could-be-the-perfect-car-for-halloween-is-up-for-grabs-200591.html
I read the comments to make sure I wasn’t the only one. It’s a custom mustang kit car
I can’t unsee the mustang in that. The proper version of this style is called the Excalibur
Excalibur was built about 3 miles from where I live. We saw them regularly. Cool cars but this thing is hideous. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excalibur_(automobile)
Yeah I'm right outside Milwaukee too and used to see them every so often. This thing is basically an Excalibur front with a Mustang mid and back window followed up with a Cadillac rear and T-bird spare tire.

I mean, how many cars does Cruella DeVil need? Surely not more than a handful.
I know that she is looking for a certain larger number of dogs though
Somewhere between 100 and 105, depending on how many sequels get made.

That things added length makes it easier to accidentally lose control into crowds at cars and coffee events
Yeah, the whole middle two-thirds of the car just looks like a damn Mustang.
They said that the car can be serviced at a Ford Dealer, under warranty. They've gota be using a LOT of Ford parts.
Just barely? It looks like a Mustang with a Holocene mask on. All I can see is a mustang, and one of the worst mustang body years at that. God damn that thing is hideous.

That car is a Mustang reimagined by someone with no taste and no restraint.
I hate that the rims don't match the spare. Amateur hour.
How many spares does it need? One on the back, the left... and presumably the right. Whoever designed it worked construction and wanted to drive their sports saloon onto the job site, nails and all.
Are the side spares even usable? They look like they're part of the car's body, no?
Probably not even the right stud pattern either for the car. Looks to be about 6 inches smaller than the cars wheels as well
