Not the only one for around $90k - https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds...a/1845771.html - I've seen most go for around $60k.

That's not in the same league as the ugliest Cobra I've seen. Fortunately for you guys, I don't have a picture. But imagine a cream color with frequent accents in purple and orange. Then hang every accessory you can buy from JC Whitney on it. ... And he/she brought it to a car show for display.

It has a security system. I'm not sure why.

I have to admit those are some fugly looking bumpers. Correct that and it's an over-accessorized, stretched wheelbase Excaliber.

Agree any vehicular creations beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Who are we to criticize. I'm waiting to see someone's idea of a Rat Cobra that will draw some interesting criticism.

It isn't that bad. Remove those bumpers, change the seats, and do a few other minor changes and it would be a nice looking car. The a/c ducts in the dash kind of screw up the interior, but that is livable.

Beats that red Chevy Cavalier style Cobra that shows up every once in a few years on Ebay. That thing is an abomination.

102.5" wheelbase? That's quite a stretch! Those bumper hoops are perhaps the worst I've seen.

Interesting. It's the same color as Patrick's ERA.

... slight similarity. But I highlight the overall motif with the tasteful use of black striping and other black accoutrements.

And don't forget the "wrapping" around around the roll bar.

Besides the staid, if not camouflage-like color, I don't think it's the ugliest Cobra I've seen. While it's certainly not a Cobra for my taste, those bumpers are beyond hideous, I think the seller might be a meth user at that price.

Better looking than any Nissan Leaf I've ever seen.
