Vehicle Description
At the intersection of luxury, custom, and unique is this 1985
Zimmer Golden Spirit. With proportions and styling from the 30s
atop a Mustang chassis, it combines dramatic looks with all the
modern conveniences.
Here's classic Mercedes style with American flair. The Zimmer
Golden Spirit was a hand-built, limited production car that were
expensive to buy new and cherished by the lucky few who could pick
one up. You can tell this was cared for just by the condition of
the custom bodywork. With coordinating elements, such as the
full-length pinstripe, covered spare wheel wells in each fender,
and even another on the rear. This car was about showcasing its
opulence, and today it has matured into a style all its own. After
all, where else are you going to find a car with a vinyl roof that
matches the padding on the trunk? Plus, the complete brightwork
reminds us of the classic cars of Europe in places like the
waterfall grille, dual push bumpers, side exhaust port decoration,
and wire wheels. And this one even lives up to its golden name with
the bold golden eagle leading the way.
This is no kit car, and so the donor Mustang's passenger safety
cage, doors, and windshield were retained. That gives it better
build quality, but you still might not recognize the pony car's DNA
when you step inside. The Recaro seats cost a small fortune all by
themselves, and they give this car a grand touring level of
comfort. The Mustang's gauges are fitted to the dash, but the round
package in the burled walnut fascia give this the upscale and
sporty feel that the Zimmer was perfect at portraying. Even the
gold steering wheel has a wood surround to keep everything feeling
luxurious. Other factory features included power windows, tilt
wheel, power locks, and cruise control. But this one has been
upgraded to more modern conveniences where it counts in places such
as the AM/FM/CD stereo and air conditioning running R-134a for
easier servicing.
One peek under the hood will reveal the Mustang's famous 5.0-liter
fuel-injected V8. Powerful, versatile, and reliable, it means you
have a car that looks custom on the outside, and it's simple and
inexpensive to keep it running in top condition. And when you take
this out on the road, you realize that the previous owners have
been quite diligent about keeping it strong and smooth (and it has
averaged less than 1,500 miles per year.) The lengthened frame
means it has the kind of luxury ride you'd expect from a car of
this stature. Plus, the Ford's power steering, front disc brakes,
and four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly
overdrive all deliver modern a ride quality in a pre-WWII style
package.
Complete with owner's manual, this Zimmer delivered the custom car
experience with the fit and finish of a factory product. It's the
best of both worlds that today is a rare sight. So you can now be
the most comfortable and interesting car in your neighborhood all
for an obtainable price. Call today!!!
