AMERICAS NEWEST HAND BUILT MUSCLE CAR.........$250,000

OK, right off the bat this pricey gem is not going to win any prizes for originality. At first blush, from the side view you have what appears to be a Mustang Fastback. Upon further review, from the front of the car you get styling cues from the Dodge Challenger, from the back, the jury is still out on this one, maybe a take away from the Shelby GT500 ?

The people at Equus Automotive found the correct power train, and I'm not going to hold that against them. They took the now not available 6.2 L V-8 Supercharged Chevrolet ZR1 engine and coupled it with six-speed dual-clutch manual transmission (yes, a twin-disc manual) at the rear.

Presto !, you have the Equus Bass770. According to Equus Automotive's Facebook page, the vehicle has already been out for almost a year, Detroit-based Equus Automotive developed the car for six years to arrive.

The combination of strong, lightweight materials is sure to keep body flex to a minimum and, crucially, the weight down on this 3,640-pound muscle car. Its body is made out of aluminum lined with carbon fiber. The Bass 770 a claimed 0-60 miles-per-hour time of 3.4 seconds and top speed of 200 mph.
