USA

The Zimmer Golden Spirit is one of the most distinctive American neo-classic automobiles, combining dramatic 1930s-inspired styling with a Ford-based mechanical foundation and an individually finished luxury cabin. This example is finished in a striking combination of gloss black and tan, with an elongated bonnet, sweeping front wings, prominent chrome grille, exposed side exhaust-style pipes, dual trumpet horns and a rear-mounted spare-wheel enclosure. The elaborate design gives the car extraordinary road presence and ensures it looks unlike almost anything else on the road. The tan cabin is particularly impressive, featuring supple Recaro leather seating, a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel, wood-effect dashboard trim, power accessories and a generously padded center console. The interior presents very well in the available photographs, with light ageing consistent with careful use. Distinctive period details include rear-quarter opera windows, decorative exterior hardware and hand-applied pinstriping signed and dated 1990. The Nardi steering wheel also carries a visible engraved signature, adding further character to the cabin. The odometer displays approximately 31,758 miles. The car is a genuine Zimmer-built automobile rather than a home-assembled kit, with a clean title and documented Ford-based VIN. The exact registered model year should be confirmed from the title before purchase. The exterior retains strong shine and impressive chrome presentation. Minor chips and age-related marks are visible in selected areas, while the tan rear luggage-cover material shows some creasing and wear. Overall, the car presents as a highly attractive and well-preserved example intended to be seen and enjoyed. This is a wonderfully unconventional classic for someone who wants traditional luxury, theatrical styling and genuine individuality without following the usual Rolls-Royce or American muscle-car route.

CRU Collector Assessment

Condition 7/10: Very Good; Strong paint, extensive chrome and a beautifully preserved Recaro leather cabin give the car excellent overall presentation, with only minor age-related exterior and trim wear visible.
Collectibility 6/10: Desirable; The Golden Spirit has a dedicated following among neo-classic enthusiasts, with its appeal driven by craftsmanship, extravagant styling and period individuality.
Rarity 8/10: Highly Scarce; immer Golden Spirits were low-volume coachbuilt automobiles, and this example’s distinctive specification and documented individual details make it particularly unusual.
Originality 7/10: Highly Original; The car retains its defining Zimmer bodywork, Recaro interior, Nardi steering wheel, elaborate chrome treatment and period coachbuilt character.
