That is a real 87 Mera. It is pretty rough. I checked it out before I purchased mine.

That is a cool picture of some 87's. I guess it was at the location where they were detailed after final assembly. I wonder if there are more pictures available.

That car is a Lancia Stratos. They make a Fiero look big. Stratos were made in the 70's as I recall. The engine was a Ferrari V6 and they were great rally cars. Lot of videos of them on U Tube. I still have a model of the Alitalia rally car.

Hopefully some of you Mera folks can look at this and see if it is a true Mera. The badging is all present but his interior looks just like a stock Fiero. No leather seats or accents on the doors or center consoles. Make sure to see the larger pictures lower in the page.

Edit to add.....I've never seen a Mera plate on the intake before.

It looks to be a base 87 Mera. Wheels are nice but aftermarket, as well as all the Mera emblems including the one on the intake. The front bumper is also incorrect for a Mera. It is missing most of the Mera badging on the exterior. Also I am not aware of any Mera's made with the "Boxer" (two tone) paint from the plant. Looks to be a nice car if you are looking for an 87.

Looks like the real deal.
Looks like corporate concepts, I think I'll get one.[This message has been edited by Indiana_resto_guy (edited 03-30-2010).]

Mera #7029.
still for sale?
too high $$. seems these rare cars are not as so desired, yet! i hope 
them Stratos are Bad a$$. i bet they are expensive?
soo cool lookin.
its funny that i saw these cars while searching images of Ferrari's. to me this is queer because
i guess there is an episode of "Top Gear" comming up soon, where they test
with a Kit version of this car called the "Hawk" HF 3000.
what a weird coiencidence.
i love that show, Top Gear.."bloody brilliant..."
as far as that CC picture..I NEED MORE.
i sent the guy a mail for more color pics, we will see...such a nice photo....all 1987 MERAS 
i see two red ones and a white....maybe #7020........PAIN.
gotta go...
