Was some weird 1 off deal sponsored by the Copper Council in the 60's.

Kirkham did one some years back. Beautiful car, much better looking than that ugly thing the Copper Council made while destroying an actual Cobra.

    It was called the Mercer Cobra and was built on a genuine 289 Cobra chassis. I still exists.

I knew it was a real 289 Cobra to start with, but I didn't know the car survived all this time.

It was ugly, but it's pretty cool how it came to pass. Stuff like that doesn't happen as much these days.
