You sure people are paying 250k for a elenor? That sounds like 06-07 muscle car frenzy prices. Thought I saw they were 150k or so.

Regardless, it's a different customer. YOU can get Eleanor, but maybe somebody else wants something newer, unique, or not-Ford.

God forbid maybe they actually like the Equus and have the money to buy it.

yup that's the point - classic muscle look, but with ultra modern luxury, suspension, chassis, and engine. Eleanore may have timeless looks, but that Equus Bass will spank it

I mean I love the looks, but it's not worth 250K to have a car that looks nice. I feel like I could build a better car for around 75K realistically. start with this

and build my own front end.

Now that Equus Boss 770 thing... I think my ex girlfriend excited me less.
Not entirely true. Sam Strano has won Autocross events (national) with muscle cars specifically 4th gen camaros

Are you always this close-minded?

Define "better". A car from 30-40 years ago will never perform or handle as well as a modern vehicle

Every time anyone mentions this car, people confuse "better" with "something I'd rather have."

If I had $250k to throw around, I'd buy this thing today. Of course I could afford to buy several other cars, but that isn't the point. Look at this thing!

please don't tell me you're talking about that abomination of a Camaro body kit concept car someone mashed together a few years back. That is a modern car, one that someone horribly modified to look somewhat like a classic
