Dear Miss HOT ROD, I'm trying to find out about a car in the movie Cobra with Sylvester Stallone. What's the year, make, and model of the car he drives?
Eddie Kaufman
Hey Eddie, while that was a really cheesy, bad movie, the car was awesome! It's a fully customized '50 Mercury (or Merc as we call them). I don't know who built the car or any of it's specifics, but we just watched that movie for a story you'll see in the February issue, and there's a scene that shows the speedometer at 80 mph and the tachometer at 8,400 rpm. And then Stallone hits the nitrous!
