1980 Zimmer Golden Spirit 5.0L V8 engine only 1,600 models produced

Zimmer Motor Cars was a manufacturer of neo-classic automobiles. The company was originally incorporated in Ohio in July 1980 as the Zimmer Motor Cars Corporation. In August 1980, it was registered as a Foreign For Profit Corporation in the State of Florida under file number 846776. The company was a subsidiary of the Zimmer Corporation, then based in Pompano Beach, Florida.

The Zimmer Golden Spirit was the flagship of the Zimmer Motor Cars Corporation during its production run from 1980 to 1988. While the original Golden Spirit was built using a Ford Mustang drivetrain, production began by cutting off or removing all body panels except the doors and roof. The chassis was then extended by 38" and new steering and brake components installed.

Fiberglass body panels were manufactured by Zimmer and fitted along with chrome bumpers and other exterior parts. Interiors were re-trimmed in leather with Recaro seats and Nardi steering wheels, but otherwise carried the standard Mustang instrumentation. While the majority of Golden Spirits were two-door hardtops, there were limited numbers of convertibles and t-top variants built with at least one four-door sedan and "personal limousine" known to have been built.
