The '50 Mercury is my favourite 50's American car and the Cobra one was the only reason I watched the movie. The builder got everything right on it for me, I do appreciate the 2 tone ones but the Cobra car has the edge in that colour.

If memory serves correct, I believe Popular Hot Rodding Magazine covered the build of this Merc in 1985. It utilizes lots of B&M components, including the blower and shifter.
Was that the article where they also detailed the Stingray TV show corvette and some other Hollywood cars? I don't remember them mentioning B&M components, however, and the shifter I believe is a Hurst. that said, B&M and Hurst offer pretty much the same design in automatic transmission shifters.
Well, the shifter was definitely a Hurst as you can plainly see in the film and in the pics from the CVS auction when they were trying to sell it before they knew it was a stolen car; specifically the hero car at least. Maybe you should find the article first and then talk about it, could have been about one of the stunt cars perhaps?
@CarStarz42 I remember either Popular Hot Rodding or Hot Rod magazine did a quick write-up on the build of the movie car. I remember a small block chevy with B&M blower on top. Foggy memory and a search has not yielded anything article wise from either magazine mentioned. 🙄🫣😣
Lol, glad you enjoyed it and I know what you mean! With all the world's information literally at our fingertips these days; STILL, few people actually research anything before flapping their gums about something they have no real knowledge on. Sad.
I had a chrome bumper '68 GTO in the 1970s. Yes, they were rare and if I remember correctly the car had to be ordered that way and there was a $200 credit. I don't know how accurate this is but I heard many years ago that the chrome bumper weighed 100 lbs less than the Rubber bumper/hideaway headlight combination. Whoever ordered my GTO when new clearly wanted a fast car as it had 3.73 gears, Turbo 400, hoodmount tach, and console shifter that you pushed to the side and it stopped at the next gear (NOT the His & Hers). I later had a '78 Z-28 Camaro with that same automatic shifter.
Love that car. I heard he had it and im happy to hear the real story. Im very glad for him to get it back. Better be guarded now because i want it too !
Hi Starchaser. I liked the film, i loved the car. I built one in 1:24 scale out of a amt kit, i built an RC Car in 1:10 with a fibreglass body, brass chassis and cheap tamyia, later on carson components. I still own them both. Thank you for this video.
Another well researched video as usual, I remember reading years ago in rodders journal that one of the stunt cars or a replica (I cant remember which) was owned by Tommy Lee (motley crue) for a while
Hopefully you will add motorcycles to your channel. Wild One, Terminator, Then Came Bronson, Renegade, Great Escape, etc. Also ...PeeWee Herman's bicycle!
Nice work, your info tallies with everything I’d been told. 👍 You probably know that second storey parking lot jump destroyed the brake master cylinder and that Merc almost landed on a busy freeway! Rumour is that metallic grey was chosen in the original script ‘because fake blood shows up better’ 😮😮
The guy who owned this merc owns grand piano furniture stores , about 10 years ago had it at my B.I.L garage having it worked on ! It was a cool car ! 👍🏼
Couple more productions with cars that some of us might find interesting. Netflix’s Longmire with Walt’s Bronco, Ferg ‘s Trans Am, and Henry’s pickups. Clint Eastwood’s Thunderbolt and Lightfoot with the Trans Am, 51 Merc, and the jacked up Dodge or Plymouth. Honorable mention would be the 72 Gran Torino from…. Gran Torino.
I haven't seen any Longmire episodes, but the Eastwood movies are on my list to look into already and I'll add Longmire to look into at some point too. Thanks
Great video. I know it's a Pandora's box, but it would be great to see videos on cars from the Fast and Furious series. I loved the Mustang from Tokyo Drift that had the Nissan RB motor fitted.
Thanks. Honestly, beyond the first F&F movie; I can't stand the rest of them as they are all ruined by ridiculous looking and just plain BAD CGI. With that said, the only F&F vehicle that I've covered is the Charger in the first film, which you can watch here, but that will be the only one most likely; thanks for the suggestions anyways though. Here's the Charger video if you haven't already seen it... th-cam.com/video/p0_qK5skVOs/w-d-xo.html
@@CarStarz42 Yeah, the CGI stuff was weak, I agree. That silly drive scene under the US/Mexico border was less engaging than the brief sight of Brian's classic Skyline in Brazil. Show us real cars, not unconvincing cut-scenes. Thanks for the link to Dom's Charger.
Stolen from his garage and wound up back at CVS? Suspicious... Sounds like there was question of ownership from the beginning and "stolen" means CVS came and got it from his garage. Then finally years later it all got sorted out.
This is a 'AWSOM 50' work (all right i know this video has ten facts but you get what i am saying) as this 50 merc was built with speed and style at the same time that for me is how you do a cool movie car anyway thanks for the video and have a nice day bye now.
Love your video. For many years I was looking for a video of this Mercury and if you can do a video of the Mercury of the movie "Street of Fire". Thanks.
I watched this movie on cable one time with my dad. He had never seen it and I already had so I didn't want to spoil anything. He also owned a 50 Merc at the time. He shook his head several times during the chase scenes and I saw a little tear well up in his eyes when they wrecked the car. We never watched that one again. lol
For those curious about how to "chop" the roof for that letterbox look the window frame pillars are cut through middle. A small section is then cut out each cut end to shorten the frame pillars.Then the roof above front seats is cut straight across. Strip of sheet metal is then soldered in as a spacer to extend length of roof above front seats. The spacer lines up the cut ends of window pillars when top is reattached and soldered. The term "lead sled" is all the soldering added extra weight to hotrod.
Somewhere I have a magazine from the 90s I believe it is that did an article on the Cobra Merc.. 3 of the 4 cars were actually 4 doors converted to two doors on account of the available and pricing on the two door coupes at the time.
I love your videos and I have subbed. Not trying to start anything but I think your wrong about how many mercs were destroyed. The stunt driver was Corey Eubanks I was hanging with him at a dukes of hazzard show. I asked him how many mercs were wrecked he said 7. Anyhow your channel is really great thanks for your work.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying them. I haven't found any supporting information about that many Mercs used though, as per Eddie Paul anyways, there were 4 total built. Unless they had like more than one group building them perhaps, but I haven't seen anything about that officially anyways. Thanks again
@@CarStarz42 It could be they built the extra cars from a different builder just to wreck. The jump from the 2nd story parking garage, Corey told me that car had a full cage in it and it went to the crusher. He had pictures at his booth showing the after effects. They had multiple car builder's on Dukes, warner brothers was farming out other builders due to lack of chargers. That and they were wrecking them faster than they could build them. The stories Corey told me blew my mind about that! Thanks for your reply!
There’s an interview here on TH-cam with the stuntman that drove the car for the chase scene involving the Mercury jumping from the second level of a building onto the street. I won’t spoil it,but things didn’t go as planned after the landing.
i seem to remember a sweet pickup that he had in the movie too..... just can't remember the details... that merc was a serious machine!! sad to see it killed for the movie, but it died a good death (even if it was just a shell---- yes, i scrolled and saw the comment on that)
