Custom Movie Car Replica "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" Captain Nemo

A piece of automotive art, his rolling sculpture is at last available for sale to art and automotive collectors around the world. It may just be the most interesting and collectable car newly on the market today. This is a rare opportunity to own a one-off incredible hand-made roadster of this caliber. Nemo was built by one determined Artist who also happens to own and operate an Auto-body and Restoration business with 30 years experience. Many other talented individuals lended a hand when needed for engineering and machining of many parts.

Dubbed “The Spirit of Nemo, this car is a collection of many known styles, nd references many body lines and features found on different cars from throughout automotive history. Titled and registered as a 1979 Cadillac fleetwood Limousine, emo 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. “The Spirit of Nemo” is all hand fabricated and is fully inspecte, itled, nd street legal in all 50 states in the U.S. Being titled as a 1979 avoids emission and inspection hassles as well as allowing the new owner to use antique automotive custom license plates.

“ The Spirit of Nemo” is built of a Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass body reinforced by heavy steel webbing and bracing, s well as aluminum. This automobile is in no way a “kit car”. It is an all handmade rolling work of art of elegance and old world appeal. The doors are all steel while the dash and other parts are aluminum. Nemo is powered by a freshly rebuilt 425 Cadillac Big Block with a turbo 400 automatic transmission, wo piece drive-shaft, nd 12 bolt GM rear end. All four front wheels steer easily and in unison with no tracking problems. Tires are a massive 31.5 x 10.5 x 15. Nemo is painted PPG Royal Pepper White. Outside handles are aesthetic only, oors are opened by reaching over and lifting the inside handles which open very easily. Steering wheel is Solid stainless with a NASCAR quick release hub. All eight headlights are functional, hough the outer lamps must be removed via a quick disconnect for loading and street legal driving as they make Nemo too wide to be transported or driven legally without a permit. The lamps may be re-attached in 30 seconds each once you arrive at your destination. Nemo has an on-board air compressor that operates the rear air shocks. The car has an in-line hydraulic line emergency brake lock to insure it does not roll away. Nemo does not have a top so it can project the beauty and artwork of this roadster's handmade interior and dash.

The massive costs of building such a complicated project include the 120 plus pieces of sculpted art that adorn the body. The handmade artwork represents a combination of styles of the Victorian, uscan, nd Florentine eras of Old Europe. They are Cast of military grade urethane and are cold-cast plated in pure pewter and aluminum and hand buffed to an antique shine. Separate silicone molds had to be created after every piece of art was sculpted in plasteline clay by the artist, o cast a part that would be impact and weather resistant. There is a huge amount of parts that had to be custom machined and produced for this car. There is close to 6,500 man hours total in “The Spirit of Nemo” and all of it's artwork. Very few parts to this car could be used as purchased without making modifications to them or having to be pain-strikingly produced by hand.

The “Spirit of Nemo”'s dimensions are 24' in length and 102” wide. Estimated weight is six thousand pounds. Included with the sale of this car is a custom modified goose-neck trailer. The trailer tilts with hydraulic 12V power to provide a safe and constant angle to load such a long and low automobile. This car will not fit on nearly any standard trailer due to it's lengt, idth and ground clearance: as well as the rather fragile nature of all of it's artwork. Tie down hooks are built into the underside of the car to match the tie down locations built into the trailer. Special built ramp extensions and custom tie downs are also included. The 32' triple axle goose-neck trailer is also equipped with a 10,000lb winch, nd hydraulic landing gear. It is fitted and accepts a 2 5/16” goose-neck ball. The Spirit of Nemo was built for it's art and aesthetic beauty. Although fully capable of safe driving, t is in no way intended to be a street rod, ot rod, r dragster . It is built mainly for parade, ar shows, isplay, nd lower speed outings.

The new owner will receive copies of all of the pictures during construction, nd a 3 page “Owner's Manual “ of sorts, ust to explain where things are located, nd any “DO's” or “Don'ts” in reference to fuse panel location, ie-down points, nd things of such nature.

To our knowledge it is the world's first and only full scale powered replica ever built of Captain Nemo's Car used in the Sean Connery block-buster movie “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” It is possible that this may be the only replica that will ever be built since it is indeed an enormous under-taking. Nemo, s many refer to the car, raws huge crowds no matter where it goes. Do not pass up this rare opportunity to own a vehicle that nearly stands alone in the worl, nd would be one of the highlights of any artistic or automotive collection. The car was built and is located in North Carolina, SA. Any pick-up or shipping will have to be arranged by the buyer. You can simply arrive with your dually truck equipped with a goose-neck ball, ook up, nd take it home, r of course make any arrangement you desire. The new owner will receive a clean NC title for both vehicle and trailer, nce acceptable payment has been made and finalized.

I Wanted to make it clear that there is no top that comes with this car. This car is art, nd designed to be displayed and shown and have an easy cared for life. In addition, n no way is this the real car that was used in the movie in any way. I have never stated that it was-only that it is a replica of the real car used in the movie. I would hope that anyone that is bidding has access to the funds required to purchase this car and pay any shipping required to go out of the USA if needed.
