Report: Sylvester Stallone to get his “Cobra” car back!!! Congrats Sly!!!

In the 1980’s, “Cobra” was filmed. It was that car that made the film great for what it was. “Cobra” was one of my favorite action films by Sly. It didn’t do well in the box office, but still was an excellent action movie. Marion Cobretti was a different character than Rambo. Cobretti was more psychotic and dangerous than Rambo, in my opinion.

Sly kept the car after the movie was made. In 1994, the car was stolen straight out of his garage. Sly didn’t know the whereabouts of that car until in 2009, the car finally resurfaced at an auction by this un-named company that provides “on-camera vehicles for movies”.

Sly filed a lawsuit at this company for stealing this car. The lawsuit was settled and this company agreed to give the car back to it’s rightful owner.

Read the report here, at TMZ.

Congratulations Sly!!! I can’t wait to see new pics of Sly reunited with the car! I bet Sly will keep the car locked up good to keep it away from thieves.

Now that he has the car back, is a “Cobra II” going to be in the works soon? Hopefully. I always liked that character and it will be great if Sly plans a sequel, using that same car.

Report: Stallone still fighting to get his Cobra car back after all these years…

Sylvester Stallone is still on the hunt for the old Cobra car that Stallone drove from one of his popular films simply titled, “Cobra”. Well, Stallone himself found it. He saw it being sold on an internet auction for classic cars that was held by a movie car company (noticing TMZ left the company name out of the article so TMZ won’t get sued).

In Sly’s suit, he is, of course, asking for his car back and asking for 3 million for infringing his name and image without permission. Sly wrote the lawsuit in style, by beginning it with “Crime is a disease, meet the cure”, hilarious!

It’s no secret that Sly loves cars. He’s a car collector big time, especially the vintage vehicles. It be badass to see Sly drive the Cobra car again, so hope he gets it back successfully!
