The Hirohata Merc
 

33 minutes documentary on a classic Barris custom.

I'm not a huge fan of the car chop tops in general but it is a very cool video.

Ever since the movie Cobra (1986) I've always liked Mercs'.

So 80s... lol :)

LOL! The Hirohata? History of a bygone time and place. A much less crowded and more free California. The perfect setting for the birth of hot rodding and Customs...

Very cool video.

Love the passion Mr. Neil had for the car and for the two original Barris workers who helped restore the car.

Truly a piece of American history...…...

WOW - thanks for the video.
A fitting tribute.
I saw the car at the Petersen a couple of years ago - first I walked past it like ah, another chopped Merc.
But there was something else - I ended up spending more time with it than any other car on display.
