Equus Bass 770: $250-300K muscle car

[nhs156]

What do you think? I think it looks better than any muscle cars currently in production (ours included), BUT:
* Questionable brand longevity
* Weird brand name
* French! Even though it's assembled in Detroit
* $250-300K+ price tag
* Specs less impressive than our $50-65K GT500

In short, I can't see many of these being snapped up.

Imagine for a moment, the Johnny Cash "One piece at a time" song. But Instead of working the Cadillac assembly line, he's working for all three. With parts from Ford, GM , and Dodge.

That's about sums it up.

One word describes my reaction, FUGLY.

Pretty ugly. I would rather buy a Ford GT or a real muscle car from the 60s.

+1, looks like shit and for that money I can buy a Ford GT and 2013 GT500

lol wow, thats a ****ing useless car if I ever saw one for that money.

Like someone stated, $250k alone gets you a ****ing Ford GT and a '13 GT500 daily beater. The 500 alone is almost enough to take that thing on.

Reminds me of evian water.

 

[Never_Enough]

ugly & way too much $

 

[CobraBob]

Fugly describes it perfectly. It's having a serious identity crisis. A LOT of Mustang, a smidgin of '71 Road Runner, and more. Horrible overall design. At that price, I doubt they will sell many. JMO.

yeah that

This is is a Ford site and the car looks like a '68 Mustang and most think it is ugly.

If the car was at Barrett-Jackson and you knew nothing of it, most people would think it was a reworked mustang

I have 2 issues with it, the engine and being over priced.

How about $30,000 with a 5.0 in it then it would be AWESOME!!!

 

[king nothing]

Ive gotta say I like the look...... but not at that price point. Put a standard V8 in it and charge Mustang/Camaro/Challenger price with an option for the big motor at GT500 price

They had 3 at the Detroit auto show. By far the best car at the show!

 

[RSbeast]

Was at auto show. Pretty terrible fit and finish.

They got very edgey answering questions about the car. I took the brochure; it seems like it's poorly translated English and less than eleoquently worded.

It's a kit car at best quality wise.

I guess the concept is 'neat'. Reminds me if china or India tried to make a muscle car.

Name, reasons behind name etc seem like some random rich guys brain fart.

 

[Mr.Bolt-on]

I'd rather have the 1967-68 mustang they obviously based it off of instead.

 

[Planter]

no thanks.

This. It even has rain gutters, and vent windows. Does it not have A/C?
