THE EQUUS THROWBACK CORVETTE

An Homage to the American Sports Car

If you’ve never heard of the U.S.-based firm Equus, you are probably not alone.  However, if you are automobile enthusiast, and moreover, a CORVETTE enthusiast, then maybe its time for some introductions.

Based in Rochester Hills, Michigan, Equus Automotive refers to themselves as a company akin to tuners such as Brabus and Alpina, but with a unique twist.  They don’t modify cars –they create them – paying homage to the cars from which they draw their inspiration.  In many respects, their designs fuse classic styling from the 1960’s and ’70’s with the most current automotive technology available.

Bass 770 Muscle Car

For those of you who remember their earlier efforts, Equus is the company behind the incredibly unique, yet strangely familiar Bass 770 muscle car.  Their first iteration was an amazing bland of classic muscle from 1960’s era muscle cars including the Dodge Challenger, the Chevy Camaro and most especially the Ford Mustang.  The Bass 770 boasted massive horsepower and modern handling.  Better still, it enticed owners with a modern muscle car that paid homage to the classic lines of an era of automobiles that may arguably be one of

the best of all time.
