    Mercer Cobra

    I see the horrid looking Mercer Cobra hasn't featured here yet. Have a look at here: 1965 Mercer-Cobra

    It's really embarassing to say, but...

    I kinda dig it. Make no mistake, it's hideous. But I kinda dig it.

    The only thing even slightly going for that car is the 289-Cobra engine. the rest of the car is indeed, hideous
    May the downforce be with you

    What a weird car. Still the gauges if they had worked would have been very cool.

    It has some things I like about it, and some things I really, really don't. The overall shape is pleasing, sans the flaps. I do think the bad things outweigh the good though

    At least it is unique looking. Handling of this THING must be horrible, those narrow tires with cobra chassis and 289 power.

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
