Boy, somebody sure hit that thing with the ugly stick.

Good luck selling a quarter-million dollar kit car in this economy.

[WS6]

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

hmm.... for real?

I agree. This looks better than the Eleanors. And designed by Ben Hermance? He is top notch too.

Do I think they will get many buyers? No. But it sure ain't ugly.

I'd like to know what is beautiful to some of you who think this is ugly.... hmmm.

I've liked it since I first saw it. I'd' have made the grill a little more narrow but it's a hot looking ride.

"Own one out of 100 to be built"
"Handmade one of a kind!"

Perhaps I don't understand one of a kind and one of 100.

It appears that the first ebay ($250K) was for the prototype, the second auction ($75K) is for them to build you one. Some options are extra. Am I reading this right?

It ‘s tough to see what’s happening here. Mike’s a decent guy, a real car guy who had a dream and the guts to go for it. Unfortunately in spite of great effort , promotion and expense, he seemed to have run out of resources before he could make the final refinements to get into the end zone.

If this is Really Mike selling this car for $75K it’s the deal of a lifetime and just needs some final touches to be a superstar. This is the pre-production prototype for a series of 100 cars that were scheduled to be built after the refinement process. Due to this being the only one built so far, it is in fact, "One of a kind", especially because the production cars will be different in many aspects.

I sincerely hope someone can finish this car as I envisioned it. And I hope Mike can recover from a bad situation that came so close to going the other way.


As far as the styling comments, taste is totally subjective. In fact, I'd probably be more worried if everyone "liked" the car vs the intense and overwhelming positive support and 1 or 2 negative comments over the past year since the unveiling. I designed it to meet the needs of the owner and the market he was targeting. Is it for everyone? Probably not, but you can't make an impact with a lukewarm, safe design.


It was great seeing everyone in Vegas...can't wait for next year!

That's the way I read it too.

From what I remember Mike telling me, the prototype car from the show represented the top of the line body kit and performance package but there were to be lower level cars with changes in appearance and specs.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

thats why i said..

for real?

I know about as much as everyone else at this stage.

I hope it works out for him, he's too good of a guy and risked a lot to get that car to SEMA in 6-7 months. There were 52 parts that had to be modeled, fabbed and finished on top of the typical bodywork and upgrades. It was the mother of all thrashes and everyone involved busted their a$$es to get that car there last year.

Best of luck to him and if it does sell, I hope it goes to a great home.

That is just DaG GonE WronG!lololol:here!: I will stop trying? LookS like you do not give in easily,lolol

[Ron S]

A couple years ago maybe,but I don't think there is much bringing those numbers now.I do think the thing is pretty sexy looking,it looks like it got a slight wide body treatment on the back like I'm doing on my Mustang.I do wish the guy luck,he did a beautiful job.Ron

[ProdigyCustoms]

I know nothing, but if I were a betting man I woulld bet the first add is for real and the second is a relist scam in Nigeria. Everytime we have listed something it shows up later at a lower price word for word.

[comp-spec]

Ya your not getting the 1ST NEMESIS we built for 75K

The second add is for a basic car with the NEMESIS kit 75K

There is a big difference in the two cars

[bigvegan]

I thought $250k was a lot for a Mustang street rod.

Turns out I was low by about a million bucks...

I just got off the phone with Mike and he explained to me what's going on.

1. The prototype car is being repainted red and it is still for sale at the higher price but he is aware of market conditions. Someone is going to get the deal of the century on this car.

2. $75K is the cost for the lower end kit applied to another 67/8 Mustang. It would include the following but buyers can talk to Mike about options:

a. 289 or 351 with stock trans
b. much of the Nemesis exterior appearance kit without carbon fiber
c. aftermarket wheels (not the wheels on the Prototype car)
d. more aggressive stance than stock
e. 4 wheel disc brakes
f. mild custom interior
