Restoring a Junkyard Christine Clone, 1958 Plymouth Belvedere

[@ramblingsadrift6477]

Not something you can just order floor/body panels for. Tedious work to say the least. Just don't ever piss her off..

[@VauxhallVictorMan]

Lets face it. We all want a Christine. And this one...…. Say no more apart from WHAT A GREAT JOB!!!!

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

VauxhallVictorMan yep.

[@jakekaywell5972]

I'd rather not own one but I can certainly appreciate the design and craftsmanship behind them.

[@chrisrobinson3494]

The cars used in the movie "Christine" were also "Belvederes", not "Furies"

No don't want a Christine. I want a Eleanor.

Quite a restoration but definitely worth it in the end.

Thanks Dr., I was lucky the frame was in such excellent shape! It might have made more sense to do a frame off, but I just couldn't handle it psychologically! It would have seemed much more insurmountable to me. Thank you for subscribing, I have something really interesting coming up in a series of truly remarkable videos!

Man, you did such a lot of restoration work on that 58 Plymouth “Christine” classic car. Such a labor or LOVE, fantastic my friend & take it slow & easy with whoever you have in your life. You don’t want to UPSET CHRISTINE, we all know what could happen!!! Great movie & beautiful car.✌️❤️🙏🏻💚👍

[@rgchristy]

Well, you'd make cranky old Will Darnell proud! I doubt that he would call it a "mechanical a$$hole", but you might have to do a few lubes and put the toilet paper on the little spools for him. Great car! Great story! You should get Stephen King and Keith Gordon to autograph it for you.

[@racer67]

Shame she couldnt just put herself back together like in the movie! Awsome work amazeing car!!!

How many days did it took for y'all to build that beautiful car?

[@markk3652]

Loved the video! the soundtrack music overdub made it even better. Restoration looked great, my suggestion, if you can, move the dual exhaust out to each corner if you can. The center exit takes away just a tad of the authenticity of the look.

[@Badtaste21]

It's a good sign the car didn't repair itself. But if the radio plays 50's rock'n'roll for no apparent reason, you should consider moving to another continent, just to be sure. :D No, seriously, I really like this restoration and it warms my heart there are still Christine's roaming around, looking for prey.

[@deborahrohl7690]

Not hard for Christine's to find prey she made a quick mess of buddy's car etc

[@brianmoore6306]

My sister had a black 1958 Belvedere years ago. I loved that car. It had the black and red interior, but someone had switched the bench seat for two, what we were told, Mustang bucket seats. They were blue vinyl. The back seat material had worn and so she had a Native American type blanket on the back seat custion I remember when she said she had to junk it because the rear end was going out. I was so young, I thought the trunk was going to fall off - as that's what is in the rear end of the car. She put it out in front of her house and within 2 hours she sold it. I miss that car.

[@davisphillips7792]

There's no way that it was worth $700. if it wasn't for the Christine notoriety. But a tremendous amount of work went into it and it came out beautiful. Credit to all involved.

[@timothykeith1367]

Most of these rusted worse than that, restorable ones are hard to find. Someone who works in west Texas oil fields said every time he goes out there he brings a car hauler trailer and almost always finds something like this that is pretty rust free but it does not rain much out there,

Christine was a 1958 Plymouth Fury, not a 1958 Plymouth Belvedere, Just saying.

[@beeenn649]

I just don't get why everyone wants a "2 stage" paint job, base coat and the clear coat. It stinks! Automotive enamel, or single stage is far superior simply because 2 stage always has an issue of the clear coat separating from the base coat. Pure garbage. We used Dupont Deluxe, RM AlfaCryl and back in the 50's and 60's GM had Magic Mirror. What I'm saying is that base coat-clear coat sucks, no fucking good.
