> Dubbed “The Spirit of Nemo, “ this car is a collection of many known styles, and references many body lines and features found on different cars from throughout automotive history. Titled and registered as a 1979 Cadillac fleetwood Limousine, Nemo began it’s life as 2 Cadillac limousines and a burning desire by the creator to build a massive six wheeled roadster that would stand out in anyone’s collection of automobiles or art.

Supposed to be street legal in all 50 states, but I really don’t want to know what the insurance rates will be.

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has always been one of my favorite under rated movies. So if you win it I’d love to have a trip or three around the block. 🙂

As one of a kind rides go it is seriously cool but the current bid is just silly. It wasn’t that great of a car or that fantastic of a movie.

Why would anyone pay that much for a replica? It has no association with the movie itself.

The Ebay page says it’s a Custom Movie Car **Replica**! It’s not even the original movie prop.

And the thing doesn’t even have rear fender fins.

Somewhere, a '57 Chevy weeps…
