You Have No Idea How Much I Enjoyed This Post.

You have no idea how much I enjoyed this post.

I want Mammon to come work on my dad’s old Barracuda with me, and then get a speeding ticket in it because fuck the police. If he can ride one of our Triumphs, I will accept his proposal regardless of how many backup singers he can get.

Maybe it doesn't help you, but I asked my Car Friend his opinions on the car inspo and he basically said the same things you did, including the mustang front, but he said "corvette vents" on the side instead of mentioning Porsche

😯 That's very helpful actually. Everytime I look at Mammon's car, I just cannot place the vents. The Porsche mention was more so directed at the body line/style of it starting from about the door back. BUT Corvette vents!! The vents on the side are very similar to the vents on the 1963 Z06 (I had to do a bit of research to see if any specific model of Corvette had extremely similar vents- and check it out below! It should be the 3rd car here lol)

It definitely has to have drawn inspiration from quite a few cars! And at least two of them, the Corvette Z06 and the late 60's Mustang Fastback, are from the 1960's. The Nissan Fairlady Z is from the 80's.

Now, I got to thinking because of this ask, and comparing all three of our possible inspirations to the original... and I had an idea. The rear quarter panel above the rear tires... they bump up into a real pretty curve and then go back down to meet at the back piece where the tail lights are. I'm not really seeing that in any of the three we have. But, ya wanna know what it started looking like? Ferrari has produced some cars with a similar bodystyle. The 4th car below is a 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS, and it shows some serious curves that I dare say are present on the rear quarter panel at least! The front quarter panel curve seems to follow more closely with the Corvette, curving down into a Mustang front end. Now, just to point out because I like writing out details, the rear half of the Ferrari is little bit longer than the car I'm so insistent on placing. Which is interesting because Ferrari is known for their mid and rear engine vehicles. The 1974 Dino 246 GTS is a mid-engine vehicle, so even with the longer rear, it's still a bit short and more similar to Mammon's car. But, Mammon's car has a shorter rear end overall, looking like it's too short to support a rear engine or even a mid-engine. This info, combined with the longer front end really says it's gotta be a front engine vehicle. This is just some small trivia I'm writing down because it might help lol

At the end of the day, all I'm saying is that it draws some serious inspiration from beautiful cars and that Mammon's taste in vehicles really fits him perfectly. We've got some heavy classic car elements going on in my opinion, and usually classic cars are already highly valued. With two of these inspos seemingly being higher end sports cars *the Corvette and the Ferrari*, combined with possibly some gorgeous muscle *the Mustang*, and of course maybe the more affordable sports car (compared to a Ferrari and Corvette, cause hot damn those are some expensive cars) *the Nissan*, you can definitely say this car was an expensive purchase. Between the possible value of the car as potentially a collectors/classic car, and probably the price he paid for it, this car is 100% Mammon in my opinion.

It's definitely gorgeous and if it was real I'd 110% jump at the chance to get my hands on it, both to drive and to possibly work on it under the hood.
