^ Seller mentions this, "Brand new Christine Fury interior (black, red, white, silver) door panels & seats like the movie car." And, "Registered as a "1957 Plymouth Fury" because of the body used for the restoration." So the way to describe it could be it's a 1958 Fury clone with custom seats?? Well bidding is right up there with 4 days to go, Jesus H. $54,000 already? Wow.   Nice looking. It's not one of the scam Christine's, is it?  |

Those Christine scammers seem to be worse than the Blumo scammers.  I'm waiting for the day that the Blumo attains the same monetary value status as the Fury...then, maybe I'll finish mine, lol. Rob |

^ That's some fine work there. Headlights, taillights, dashlights, battery in the trunk. For Sale sign in the window is a nice touch.  Even comes with a disclaimer, "This is a TOY and NOT a Real Car" ... lol, really? Funny stuff. The dash light is really bright, he put a short vid up ...  |

- The most recent eBay auction above saw the car sell for $55,100 ! ----- I'm sort of looking for one of these, preferably running, and drivable, but in like how he first found the car in the movie. 1958 Savoy, needs a WEE bit of work but might be what you're looking for. It's a 6 cylinder asking $2,999 in St. Peters, Missouri  - stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/5307401938.html |

The one in a recent episode of Graveyard Carz was the best replica I've ever seen.

^ Great intro into the garage for Christine in that episode of Graveyard Carz. That is indeed an actual movie Christine and it would seem pretty well certain it was used in the Camaro scene. It had "bad front end damage" when he got it, said owner Bill Gibson.  She makes her entrance on the show at the 40 minute mark ... |

A real one? Wow, respect. I assumed it was a replica because of all of it's working remote features and, of course, of all of the claimed "real movie car" Bluesmobiles and others. That line has to be common among replica movie cars.

That line has to be common among replica movie cars. This car is the most contriversial car in the '57-8 Plymouth world. I kinda know the owner, met him once and have had dealings with him, nice guy. Some rich jerk off spent thousands of dollars supposedly proving this car to be a fake because he bought a list of vin numbers from the junkyard all of the cars were scrapped at after the movie and this cars vin isn't on the list and yadda yadda yadda. From what I've read and heard this is a different body shell with all movie car components (interior, trim, ect. I'm not swayed to believe what jealous people say, nor do I care either way, I know Bill paid an ass load of cash for this car and nobody has proven different to me. Either way it's still a '58 Belvedere, just because it was in a movie or not doesn't change what it really is and it's a shame that people ion this world are so jealous that whether this is a real movie car or a car built using movie car components with a different shell they are willing to spend thousands of dollars to prove the owner wrong just to try to make themselves seem important. |

"It's a piece of shit, Arnie."  Aside from the colour, this one looks like Christine when Arnie found her ...    Seller has it listed as a 1958 Fury but that would have to be the Buckskin Beige then would it not? I think we see the Belvedere letters on the side of this one. Not running, asking $5,000 in Bloomington, California - inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/5830639267.html |

Yeah, Steamo...that's a '57 Belvy with '58 parts added to look like a Fury, based on the trunk lid chrome (which is a '57...you can see the gold "Mayflower ship" emblem in the middle center of it...'58s had the letters PLYMOUTH across the rear deck edge).  It would still make an awesome Christine, though, and that's a decent price. Rob |
