In reply to the discussion: Brand spankin' new retro muscle car. [View all]JohnnyRingo
(20,058 posts)I'm not necessarily endorsing the Bass 700, I just thought it interesting that someone is trying to hitch onto the rising star of the muscle car boom by introducing a brand new model. Indeed, most would just take an existing model and upgrade to a higher performance option at a fraction of the cost.
Certainly the Equus would appeal to one who has more expendable income that most African nations and wants to be noticed. I doubt it will have much if any appreciation as a collectible, but I'm not so sure. Depends on how it's received by the public (now and 20 years from now), and how many are made. Judging by the comments here, it'll be mostly the latter.
Personally, I think it's too late for the Equus. The Pony Car boom peaked in the late 2000s and fell off dramatically after the economic crash. Hemi 'Cudas that once sold for a cool million, now net just over half that much at auction. The Bass will likely be a victim of bad timing in an unpredictable market. If only a few are manufactured, it could well be a collectible curiosity in the somewhat distant future.
I wasn't joking though. hahaha
