Oh my god that is terrible. The town car roof does not blend into... whatever the rest of that is supposed to be, at all

I like it, but it could use a different color paint job. :up:

They used to use Cougars.

Or Mustang-based like the Zimmer Golden Spirit. When I worked a a Ford mechanic at Terry Ford in Pompano Beach, Fl. I worked on a fair amount of these (the manufacturing plant was a few miles away), since they were based on a Mustang you could go to any Ford dealer for repairs. They were actually very well made, but acceleration & deceleration sucked due to the increased body weight. They also made a Zimmer Quicksilver.

just awful.
how long is the wheelbase on that thing? i cant even imagine trying to park it.
Is it a kit of some sort? Will it fit the marauder (it would be funny to see)

5.0 Mustangs. The newer/current Zimmers use a Lincoln.

I was referring to pre 5.0 days, when you used to see them in the airports on display.

Interesting and original. Would not be my daily driver, though...
