Default Mongoose


I'm sure I'm not the only one that remembers this car but I knew very little about midyear vettes at the time.

The "Mongoose" I remember was a smaller car, similar to a TVR Griffith and just as unpleasant to drive. A quick search did not turn up any images, so if anyone could refresh my memory it would be appreciated. I'm sure they built more than one of them so this is a rare and welcome opportunity to inform one and all that the plural of "mongoose" is not "mongeese" as might be expected, but rather is "mongooses." I'm sure you all knew that and care intensely about use of the proper English when describing historical vehicles..
