Merc from "Grease"

cha cha was a babe

 

which one was cha cha was she craterfaces girfriend?

 

She was the one that flagged the big race! Believe she was wearin skin tight yellow pants! YUM!

 

Awsome that was priceless.

 

I almost bought the Cha Cha Barbie Doll.

 

I thought I saw this car for sale in the Hemmings a year or so ago, was this the one?

 

Just for interest's sake... Cha Cha...

Charles was born Annette Cardona in Los Angeles, California. She died on August 3, 2011, in Los Angeles due to complications from cancer. She had initially been hospitalized for pneumonia.<SUP id=cite_ref-Death_2-0 class=reference>[2]</SUP>

Not sure, never saw the ad in Hemmings.

 

great find! just be careful! I hear those guys at thunder road dont mess around.

 

Are you really that lacking in DISCRETION? Engaging in idle talk has its consequences.

 

This is way cool. Any close ups of the razor caps?

 

The car you have has a different dash than the car used in the scene when rizzo and the other girl get into the merc with crater face. Did they change the dash or something?

 

i met bill when i visited his shop,didnt know it was there and had drove past loads,saw a shoebox outside and pulled over,he welcomed me in and showed me everthing,had lots of flathead motors and parts,he was proud to own that merc,i could have stayed for ages buti didnt have the time,always planned on going back,guess its to late now,i still have the parts brochures he gave me,,nice guy

 

They did change the dash, but I have the original from the movie that will go back in it.

 

Cool to see this car in good hands.Bill really was fired up about this Mercury and im sure he is smiling knowing it will be built the way it should be.

 

Still looking for interior pictures and maybe engine shots from it's movie days...

 

the talk of chacha made me do this... but the chick in black that was with rizzo when craterface picked em up was a babe! ha ha. anyways, i'm excited like everyone else to see the hell's chariot make a comeback! please keep us informed man!!!

 

Got the small block Chevy out of it, and putting a Merc flatty back in it next week.

 

That was Marty Maraschino...as in "cherry"



(or Dinah Manoff, as it were)

 

Heres an update: Been working night and day. Flathead is back in it, painted last week, and laid and painted the flames yesterday. Will be at the roadster show this weekend inside in the booth of "The Shop" of Palm Desert. Not finished, but has the paint, razor hubcaps, and damn close! Will try to post some pictures.

 

I'm gonna come and look at it....excited to see it back with the flames on it.

 

Man thats jus great to hear n wish i was close enuff to check it out to!

 

something on yahoo news says this car is now for sale?
i did see it at the Hot Rod Homecoming back in may last year.

cools.

 

It's on e-bay!

 

Let's see some pics.

 

"That-a-boy!" Photos, Photos, Photos!

 

Wow... Didn't see that coming... lolololol
$125000.00 lololol
More money then brains.

 

Suuuweet!!

 

....Recreated "Scorpion" stickers on both doors.....

You think they were stickers when they filmed the movie?

How hard would it have been to paint them for crying out loud?

For $130,000 I wouldn't expect stickers.

 

I wonder what ever became of the 46 or 47 Ford 'Grease Lightning" convertible?
