SfanGoch Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 This looks like the designers didn't know if they wanted a Mustang or a 1970 Hemi 'Cuda. Reminds me of
Harry P. Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I like it a lot! Looks to be a pretty slick makeover of a Mustang. I especially like that rear end styling. Very nice.
louie Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I love it. I had read about it somewhere, maybe a couple of years ago. It definitely has the mustang vibe to it. But if you see it from different angles its totally different ( you don't really pick up that mustang look ). At least that is what I thought. I also remember ( some what ) that the price for it was around one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars at the time but I am going by memory That is definitely rusty. If only I could remember what I did with that article , see what I mean. Jeff
Drake69 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I've been watching this car for years. It is an incredible reimagining of a timeless classic. Makes me want one BAD.
sjordan2 Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 Cool car if you have a spare $250k - $290k as reported.
Harry P. Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 If I was in the financial position to actually consider buying a car in this price range, all you'd have to do is show me this photo and I'd whip out my checkbook!
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I could suffer through having to drive that every day...but as with most things, I'd have to change a few bits here and there. ...The stuck-on rear bumper, for one thing...and I'd put the "Equus" over the little horse and ditch the "Bass". Makes me think of a fish. And not a baddass fish like a Barracuda, either. Probably get rid of the upchuck on the lower grille surround in front too. Very often, less is more. Hmmmm...probably a lot cheaper to just build a slightly customized old Mustang...
Quick GMC Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Incredible looking car. I love Mustangs, but this looks better than any Mustang, IMO.
Rob Hall Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I read about this a couple years ago...pics all look Photoshopped...I wonder if the company actually has built anything or if it's just vaporware...
unclescott58 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) The car has got a slight Japanesse look, especially in the front, to me. It looks okay. But, I like the looks of the factory Mustang much better. Especially at the price they're asking for it. Edited November 13, 2015 by unclescott58
Matt Bacon Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Looking at their pages, it looks as though this is a new build, rather than Equus doing a Singer on an existing Mustang...The manufacturing process doesn't look cheap -- does anyone know if they have actually built and sold one?bestest,M.

Harry P. Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 From wikipedia:The EQUUS BASS770 prototypes were unveiled in 2014 Detroit North American International Auto Show.The vehicle will be on sale as a 2016 model year vehicle.The latest news reveals that first sales of the EQUUS will debut at the 2015 Dubai International Motor Show in November with a price of 500,000 USD. The Equus Bass 770 is FULLY HAND-BUILT IN THE USA, and a very exclusive contender in the luxury market...
ZTony8 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I saw the exhibit at the 2014 Detroit show and have the brochures in my stash.Supposedly the metal is all new and not taken from any Mustang parts(though the influence is undeniable).But $500K for what comes off looking like a customized '67-'68 Mustang with 'Cuda influences(and,as I recall,GM LS series engine power)? I don't think so.
Maindrian Pace Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Looks like a rolling Photoshop. With an LS swap.
Cpt Tuttle Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I'm not saying that the car is ugly, it's not, but IMO both design and name makes me think of some videogame car from i.e. GTA that is supposed to be a Mustang but has to look different and carry another name due to lack of licensing from Ford....
Harry P. Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Speaking of licensing from Ford... this car is obviously a "Mustang," styling-wise. It's painfully obvious. Even the name and the logo is a variation on Mustang ("Equus" is Latin for "horse").I wonder what sort of deal was made with Ford to allow them to manufacture and sell this car?
torinobradley Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 Looks like the base of the car might be the Dynacorn Mustang replacement body. Modified, obviously...
