Who Is The Zimmer Motor Company?
Zimmer is a company that makes neo-classic cars better than anyone else. The Golden Spirit, which was their top model, was made from Ford Mustangs like the 2011 GT-based Spirit shown here.
What is a Zimmer Mustang Golden Spirit Coupe?
The Golden Spirit is often based on the Ford Mustang GT platform, combining classic looks with modern performance. It is also known as a “Zimmer Rolls-Stang”, based on its Rolls Royce type style.
How Did Zimmer Make the Golden Spirit Mustang?
Converting a 2011 Mustang into a Golden Spirit mostly involves changing the outer body of the car. They increased the length of the Ford Mustang to match the early 1900s style.
They were able to keep a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 that produces 412 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque under the hood. This power goes through a six-speed automatic gearbox to a rear axle with a special differential for better traction. The Zimmer Rolls Stang suspension and disc brakes are standard, but the wheels are larger 18-inch aftermarket wheels.

After that, you send them a check for 60% of the total price as a deposit. I can’t help but wonder how many letters they receive at Zimmer headquarters that say something as simple as “black leather” and come with a check for $214,000.

Final Thoughts
I don’t really know how many folks are getting the Zimmer Rolls-Stang, and I’m interested in how things are going with the whole setup. The address they’ve put on the website is just a regular home, and there aren’t any pictures of newer versions either. But one thing I’m certain about: if you decide to get the Zimmer, it’s going to be the priciest Ford Mustang or Cadillac CTS you’ll ever own. And, you know, it’s probably going to be the quirkiest too.
