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

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.
