Every now and then, you come across a car that’s a bit different from the rest. It’s got distinctively unique looks, comes from a low-volume manufacturer, and of course, is highly exclusive as a result. Zimmer Motor Cars was no exception. Founded by Paul Zimmer in 1980, this niche builder of neo-classic cars ran until 1997, when bankruptcy forced the company’s closure. There are no official production numbers available, but it’s believed that around 1,500 Golden Spirits were made. That’s why today’s 1986 Zimmer Golden Spirit is probably the first one we’re seeing in a very long time. This Alabama-based car is up for sale with just 26,700 miles on the clock. Snap it up, because it’s a piece of American history that’s easy to forget, but incredibly difficult to get your hands on when remembered.
Neo-classical was the design language employed by Zimmer Motor Cars, and one look at this 1986 Zimmer Golden Spirit is enough to show you what their inspirations were. Cloaked in a white suit, the car sports a pastiche of design elements from the 1920s through 1950s. Vast chromed radiator grille? Check. Outboard-mounted spare wheel covers? Check. External, podded headlamps? Check. Chrome wire wheels? Check. Yes, it’s a car that takes all these elements but manages to combine them into something decent-looking. The interior of this 1986 Zimmer Golden Spirit features power-adjustable seats, power windows, air conditioning and teak wood trim. Even the Nardi steering wheel sports a wooden rim. Look closely and you’ll note a variety of components from mainstream American automakers; this is how Zimmer managed to keep costs manageable and maintain reliability – if someone else has made a part that works well, why reinvent the wheel after all? The front seats are said to be Recaro bucket units which offer excellent comfort. There’s a Blaupunkt radio cassette player too, so that you can enjoy some music while you and up to three passengers take a trip in this quirky automobile.
This 1986 Zimmer Golden Spirit uses a 5.0-liter V8 from a contemporary Ford Mustang to propel it. Paired with a 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, it’s a proper car to enjoy. We’re told that the gas tank and fuel pump have been replaced too.

Back To The Future Fans, rejoice! We’ve got a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 for sale today. Coming to you in all its resplendent stainless steel glory, this gullwing doored machine rocks just 4,548 miles on the clock! Introduced in 1981 and produced for just two years, the car was the brainchild of John Z. DeLorean. If the name is familiar, he’s one of the men responsible for the Pontiac GTO in the Sixties! DeLorean founded his own company in the early Eighties, asked renowned automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro to design the car’s exterior, and went into production. However, various internal and external factors meant that this space-age machine was discontinued by 1983. In total, over 7,500 were made, making this a pretty exclusive machine to own. This car currently resides in Parkland, Florida, and awaits a new owner.
