The black custom 1949 Mercury known as "Hell's Chariot" was raced by the villain, Crater Face, against Danny Zuko's "Greased Lightning" down the Los Angeles River culvert in one of the film's most iconic scenes.
The vehicle was built by legendary movie car designer Eddie Paul, who chopped the top off of a Mercury coupe to create the menacing hot rod, with its classic flames and a set of razor hubcaps that were used to tear through Zuko's Ford during the race.
