... and then, in a corner:

looks familiar...

this nose...

these lines...

Yes, a Zimmer Quicksilver:

I think they're butt-ugly but a rare find for sure...

Nice shots! I think thats a Lamoborghini Espada or something like that? Its one of the crap wagon ones

That BMW at a very quick first glance I thought it was some kinda special Fiero lol.

Very nice find, I think my favorite out of the bunch is the Lotus Espirit or the Ferrari. Or them all.....lol.

Cool find.

looks liek that front bumper on the bimmer shares the same lines as the coupe fiero bumper

crazy find! I didnt knew we had one of these Quicksilvers overhere!
I can translate the dutch info if you would like to know what they're saying about it...

I can't be thee only guy in the world under 70 who wants a Quicksilver, am I? I'm tellin you- glossy black with black nickel plated chrome, 20 in wheels. Slick, I'm telling you!

I never seen one before, but it would look pretty sweet Stimpy if it was like how you described it *looks at picture and imagines it* hmmm not bad lol.

But yeah that bmw's front bumper does share the same lines as a fiero coupe, pretty cool.

I SO want to do one of those with a V8 conversion. Can you even BEGIN to imagine the strange looks you'd get?

You're not. Although it would not be my first choice in cars. I do like them and if the opportunity was there, I might consider buying one.

I've sat in one of those era Esprits Wish we had car museums like that over here!

I too have a soft spot for the Zimmer, it's got power steering, a huge carpeted front trunk, and a glove compartment. It's almost like the second gen Fiero that we never got. I wouldn't mind adding one to my collection.

I noticed that one too. In fact I saw one a few times around here, the V8 rumble made me wonder what the heck it was! Wasnt it a speed record holder in its time?

Fie Ro, you've got to go there. The pix I took are just a small selection of the cars they have. And the best thing is that almost all can be bought! The Zimmer is yours for 17000 Euros... But they had a Porsche 914 for 7700 Euros, a MG B for 5000, a Jag E-Type 2+2 coupe for 40000, a 65 Mustang for 25000, a 75 Cadillac Convertible for 14000 etc. The oldest car for sale was a French model form 1895 (yes, 1-8-9-5!!!)

Zimmer's are so pimpin. If I had one it would have to be lowered an have at least 18" chromes, maybe spinners.
In the back a 4.9 with the big caddie emblum on it...

ohhhhhh yeah

I saw a zimmer (rebody on a late 80's thunderbird) one time on the highway, pretty cool looking. and on a side note, my uncle ahs a studabaker avanti. I think its a 67, whichever year they came out with the supercharged version and broke like 50 speed records. I want him to restore it and race agianst my fiero, haha.

Thanks for sharing the pix! Some great cars there.

Het guys, Believe it it or not i saw one of those down the street from my house about a year ago. It was black and chrome and in mint condition. I had no clue what it was, but i liked it. I had no isea it had anything to do with a fiero. It was for sale for $8800 . I don't know if it was a real one , but i damn near looked like one! How much do they usually go for price wise?

Well, new they were about $50,000, which could have bought a nice Benz or BMW coupe back in the day, so it's apparent why they didn't sell many, All of the examples I've seen for sale have been asking $10-12k. What they get is another story.
