Emotional! I was in awe that you rescued the car in the first place in your prior video; it really looked promising. It's of course sad to see it so far gone, but it is what it is, as they say, and you're the one who has to make the keep/toss decision. It's hard to imagine a car from 1958 still with a flathead 6 (OK, OK, Rambler Americans still had them even into the early 60's, but that's a Rambler) I know you wanted it to be repairable and you gave it a good shot. Nice video!
Poor Christine's sister.... U can bring here we will make her all better again. Keep us all in the loop dude this one has my ears perked up. I love the old girl. This gonna cost a small fortune but be well worth it.
I'm glad someone got it to try and restore it, id take one in even worse shape then that one to be honest, just need it to resemble the shape of a 57/58 Plymouth so i could fabricate new body panels lol
I would rebuild the 1958 Plymouth Beldevere with customized reinforcement to the cabin, floor, doors, pillars, panels and roof. Then substitute the straight steering column with a Mopar compatible safety steering system. Add disc power brakes, seat belts and air bags (all Mopar).. The result will be an all Mopar safety equipped classic with higher value and durability.
I remember as a kid up on a back Mountain Road where my grandparents had a little summerhome, one time there was one of these lying on its side over an embankment. My father stopped to help the people out and they were drunker than skunks that's my first experience with a Plymouth of this year. Then also I had a little red plastic Plymouth station wagon with a yellow plastic interior which I still have it's about 12 in long and I used to love that as a child and way before Christine came out I was aware of the 57, 58 Plymouth's . I'm 56 now. Time to get in the closet,and find my old plastic stationwagon. People have offered to buy it, but it's to cool to sell. incidentally it was made before I was born in '62, and my father brought it home, and gave it to me. I think it was my Uncle Randy's.
Far Gone! Concidering where you got it, and what it was, and how long it's been there. I say you found a Gem. Most cars you find of that era at the scrap yard are literally trashed and dead inside. From the photos that car was in lovely shape inside. Good enough to be restored! Seats, dash, stearing wheel, windows was still in it! and I've seen some pretty "Far Gone" Fairlane's that would make that one look show room quality. DUDE! Smh WoW..and the motor was still in it! Wow you should've sat on it. The right buyer would have taken her and brung her back to life. You took her from the grave just to part her out! 😳 You have to have funds for such a car to bring it back. Duct tape, 9 16ths, rigged fuel line and bondo won't cut it. My old man would've given you 3 grand for that car! EASY! Cash! And it was factory red too! You don't know what you had..the diva of all movie cars! Smh
It's a real shame that people let those classic cars sit and turn to rust. That is such a beautiful car when restored, would really love to have one but not in the cards I guess. Good luck on bringing yours back to life.
You guys totally could have just pushed the car around until it would start, then just driven it till it restored itself. The odometer would have even run backwards for you!
It funny cause I watched the first video a couple hours ago and I saw it was 9 months ago I thought you probably would not gonna be any more videos by you on the car but I was wrong. Nice video
Edward vacca originally I wasn't but I got swamped with comments on wanting to know if I was going to restore it or part it out so I figured I'd make a video
If I ever win the lottery, I’m buying one and having it restored to be “Christine”, and drive around playing 50’s rock and rock and see if it freaks people out.
I wish people would restore them to orignal condition, rather than making another christine clone. And I think you meant to say Rock 'n' Roll, not Rock and Rock
Was it a Fury? In the movie Christine is supposed to be a Fury but in reality she shows Belvedere trim. Furys in 1958 were only available in Buckskin Beige and all had gold anodized trim, not silver. So this one looks like a Belvedere or even a Savoy. Both were available as a 2 door hardtop...
You could have put this car on tour and say this was Christine after Buddy Ripperton and his friends wrecked it. Or the fiery Christine after Buddy Ripperton was run over.
When I was a kid Pops bought a brand new '57 Custom Suburban in Chicago with special paint and the front bumper wingettes (the one in video here doesn't have 'em) and let me tell you that was the coolest wagon or car on the block compared to all the boxy old GMs and Fords. True story - not TOO many years later - I'd say '63 or so after it facing a couple Chicago winters and then New England winters the infamous rust took over I remember the back seat dropping through the floor !!!! Ignominious end for such cool looking cars. 🚗
...and few days later the car come back...😄 I still love the Christine one of the best cars ever. Nobody could steal it from the owner or destroy it. They should make a second part of that movie. Anyway, I hope this one is getting restored by the new owner.
To the guy who made this video i would really like to get in touch with you i have a few questions me and my brother have restored one of these and it's like new but i need to ask you a question or two about the hockey puck trim please if you could get back to me on this it would be greatly appreciated
@@moparnick do you have the measurements for the trim how wide from starting point to where it turns up and is there anywhere to buy that trim at that you know of because i don't know how your resto is going but it's almost impossible to find parts we drove 22 hour's and paid 4k for a parts car last year lol but it's done we just don't have that hockey puck we have the small trim that borders it just not the puck
@@billybiker5712 are you talkin about the aluminum insert trim that goes in between the smaller trim on the side? If so, there's one guy that just got done reproducing it. It's $800 for the full set of aluminum inserts. If you are on Facebook I can give you the guys name and you can contact him about buying a set.
Even though the car was complete doesn't mean it was a good condition, the car was not structurally sound. The car had a ton of frame, floor, and suspension rot. The only reason that car still had all the parts on it is because it was in a private spot of a junkyard where nobody could go to take parts off of it.
Would loved to have had just that ! car to repair ,to restore no matter how long took to complete ,, strip down and rebuild o well. Twill never happen here!😂😂😂😂
This is a belvedere model, not a fury. The fury has bumped wings and good anodized trim. It also came in a beige colour only and there is no evidence of this.anywhere. It could have had a complete colour change, but I see that as unlikely as it would have needed the motor to be taken out.
Actually the car is a 58 Savoy It's not even a Belvedere... Somebody made a Belvedere / Christine clone back in the '80s and did a very poor job. And as for the "fury" bumper wing bumpers were not Fury specific, You could have gotten bumper wings on any model Plymouth. You are correct about the buckskin beige paint and gold trim that were both Fury specific.
@@moparnick ok thanks for the info. I didn't know about the bumper wings being used across the range. I knew about the Savoy having no side trim so thought it was a belvedere.
Yeah hard to tell, The car had Belvedere trim on the passenger side and Savoy trim on the driver side... so they didn't even finish the job of trying to convert the car lol.
If it wasn't so far gone and missing its motor and you couldn't find one for that time period, Then maybe put like a slightly modified ( modern )Hemi engine in it....tougher brakes suspension
They put 6 cylinders in Fury's? I would have thought that the bigger engines would have been standard in a Fury. I guess they were just a trim option back in the day.
In the vilage next to us was a Mercedes Hearse (/8) from end 60`s or early 70`s for sale. They `ve been special cars and verry verry rarly becouse Mercedes Benz didn`t build Station wagon in that time. (Just started in the 80`s) But the Car was in the same Condition like your Fury. No way to restore. I wouldnt drive with an hearse anyway, it`s something for Gothics😁 but Mercedes also had some for Ambulance. That would be more nice.
Well originally he was just going to cut it up and use the roof to make his solid 4 door a coupe. But then for whatever reason he decided to try and restore it.
The one I found with my dad was in way worst shape then yours, no engine, frame, floor, barley much of the doors. It was hard to see that is was a 1958 Plymouth fury
She was a Belve in some scenes, a Savoy in others. Only had one original fury in the movie... the Savoy's and Belvedere's were made to look like furries.. but, I'd take either one in 2020 running or not
Sad to see it so far gone, but every car deserves a second chance! Unless it’s a Prius or Pontiac Aztec.
Hwcmdls the new owner is in the process of restoring it, or at least he's trying to. I hope he gets somewhere with it
Forwardlook Nick thank god!! Another is being saved!
Don't forget about smart cars!
A Prius doesn’t heel itself because it never dies
@@zacheryhaga6615 Prius cars are so gay.

I would have just let it rest in my front yard and admire it as we both keep fading away.

The OHV slant six came out in the 1960 model year.

Awesome. I've loved those cars long before I ever saw the movie.
Flat head six with a 3 speed manual trans, that’s cool. Even the bargain basement trim level still had a lot of chrome.
And some body tacked a v8 grille emblem on.probably due to Christine.
Exactly

@@doctorfeinstone6524 hahahaha
The good thing is, that one fury must've helped in some other 100 furys get the needed parts to bring it to life again
It came back 2 days later
I hate to burst your bubble but the line in the movie was "She came back 3 weeks later"
@@slayerfan2 no bubble not burst it's been so long since I saw the film I couldn't remember the exact line

You just can’t ever look at one of these cars the same way again after watching the movie...
Great music with a video just found that yesterday no lie
It'd sure be completely restored in Europe, hope it someday could be saved.

It's not a fury, it's a Savoy
What's the next buyer going to do with the shell ?
