I owned a 57 Dodge Mayfair (only made in Canada) that looked just like this car..318 v8 , torsion bar suspension back in the mid 60's...great car to drive...
If i honestly won the Lottery , No Ferrari,No Porche , No Mustang..........This, the 1958 Plymouth Fury,purchased instantly and sent to UK,i'd die a happy man.
Hi. Damn, what a beauty. Love it. They just dont make em like this anymore. What a car. Compared to todays plastic eco junk this 58 Plymouth Belvy should be worth at least a million.
A 1 of 2 Christine “screen used” car failed to sell at auction last year. The winning bid was $275,000. The owner wanted $500,000 so he didn’t sell. Honestly, I myself could never part with a Christine for any amount of money. I’d rather have the car than the money.
You're mine And we belong together Yes, we belong together For eternity You're mine Your lips belong to me Yes, they belong to only me For eternity You're my, my baby And you'll al-al-always be I swear by everything I own You'll always, always be mine You're mine And we belong together Yes, we belong together For eternity Etern-terni
Christine looks better than new. Did an amazing job on the restoration of this car. Attention to detail everything looks perfect. I bet she didn’t look this good when it rolled off the assembly line. Congratulations on a job well done. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I could have NEVER, ABSOLUTELY AND DEFINITELY NEVER let go something as beautiful/wonderful like this iconic automobile with it's unique design. Especially not after restoring it for years to be better than new! Extremely tough decision and I admire you for being able to do so. In my opinion respectively for my kind of taste this is one of the most beautiful cars in the world (if not the beautifullest)! Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved people.
The cars used in the movie are documented in a folder owned by the owner we restored his car back in 2011. They used half Belvedere and half Fury (whatever they could locate at that time)... and some of the cars were actually 57s put together... 20 approx in all. you are correct in this video shes a Belevdere... Martins car was a 58 Belvedere too and its stunt car 1 in the movie. hope this helps.
This is by far the most beautiful car in existence they reallyknew back then how to design a car.I can get enough of it if just makes my heart skip a beat everything I see one..
That's what I was just thinking, too: I guess this car now IS better than when she was brand new. I can't imagine they put so many attention and care to every even so tiny detail back in the 50s on the assembly line. Money can never pay for this amount of TLC and work that was put into this beauty, no matter how much one would pay!
Great factory exact restoration of the 1958 Plymouth Beldevere "Christine". Having original straight steering column and drum brakes, makes a drive of this classic car in rainy weather really scary. Enjoy and be careful. Thanks.
That's a true testament to you and your team. I've liked these cars since I first saw the film in the early 80s. I've now seen that film about 15 to 18 times.
Absolutely stunning,beautiful, gorgeous, amazing, elegant, she just makes your heart melt with every inch of her body,you did the ultimate job bringing her to life,you can feel her heartbeat,I've run out of words on how much I love that car and the work you've done,I would be in pieces letting her go,it would have to be a situation I couldn't get out of to part with her,I just hope the new owner is treating her like a lady and loves her unconditionally every day,congrats,fantastic job👍👍👍
Looks like a top restored beauty! Must break your heart letting her go. I am a GM guy. But the forward look Mopars were something incredible. The 58 Fury, the Chrysler 300 and the 59 Dodges were absolutely iconic and among my all time favourites!
I was 14, bought a 57 Plymouth Savoy 4 dr. grandpa changed his mind, made me sell it. Seeing this car really makes me sad again I never got to drive on the road. Earl she is beautiful, great job !!!
I love all the "jet age" tell tales of the car. The chrome jet liner pieces on the top of the fenders to the fins and taillight design just tells you the age this car was built in.
What a beauty! Beautiful work! To drive this car must be so awesome! I fell in love with a 69 charger but if I was ten years older this would be the car for me! 😎
Such a wonderful work of love you folks have done here. THIS is the hobby at its' purest - years of painstaking, sometimes downright painful research, gathering, massaging and wrestling go into these types of cars. A person has to be disciplined, dedicated and fully committed to do one properly - and this one is obviously righteous in all regards. Good on ya, no idea how you could ever let her go.... God bless, -Ed on the Ridge
Staggering attention to detail. Quite certain Plymouth never made them even close to this nice. Brought a tear to my eye. Can truly appreciate what it takes to build at this level Thanks for sharing and documenting every square inch of this gorgeous Automobile JT Orlando Florida
Not too many people able to Appreciate the quality of that restoration it is exceptional fit and finish everything about it the amount of time and effort that was put into the restoration must’ve been extraordinary what a beautiful car
wish i had one i would be so happy driving it down in the streets showing its beauty to all my friends and peoples out there. next time is the brightest star in the sky I'm making a wish for one.
Wow. What a magnificent vehicle. That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I wish I could buy it and display it in my garage. I take my hat off to you guys for this incredible restoration. It looks better than factory !
I'm 53 and have lived in Iowa all my life. I have NEVER seen a forward look Chrysler Co. car ever. From what I was told the minuet a snowflake landed on one they instantly rusted apart. LOL! They are beautiful and even tho' I'm a GM guy, Virgil Exner created some exceptional designs. Awsome car.
This is very wonderfully done. My uncle drove the exact same coloured car, here in Canada, mind you it was a dodge Mayfair ( a Canadian model) what a wonderful ride it was, I traveled many miles over several years riding along in that car.
I don't know how you did it I don't know how you sold that beautiful car! I would never forgive myself for selling her! You did the nicest job I have ever seen on a 58! Whatever you sold her for it wasn't enough. The car is perfect.
Your attention to detail is just amazing! I wish I had the years left to enjoy one of these but.....I love seeing old classics like this fully restored, not gutted and made into rat rods and crap like that.
same here ... I hope to continue to build classics... but like you mentioned its getting where I admire others work more and more because we have all been there!
I have see the Movie Christine in 1985. I was 12 Years old and i love this Car. Now, 36 Years later, i love this Car more and more. I wish, i can see this Car in real....Sorry for my English.
Amazing work! Much appreciation from all of us here. Gotta appreciate such a nice build with that level attention to detail, and one of the meanest Movie Cars of all time! Subbed! Love your channel!

You do beyond words when it comes to restoring, you have the gift my friend, I would send a car to you in a heartbeat, do you have a shop and do outside work restorations for people
OHHH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Impeccable work on this car. I am old enough to remember the brand new 57 models of every make, and it was the 57 Chrysler Dodge and Plymouth models that produced my love for "Mopars", as my mom and grandmother had purchased a '57 Chrysler Windsor 4-door with the 392/2bbl. This 1958 , however is 10x times better then when they even came out of the factory. SUPER sweet, and to hear that the brightwork trim is the original on the car, along with the rear window gasket, just astounds me and is a testament to the workmanship and quality materials from those days, and you folks have outdone the factory work by far. To me, there would be nothing sweet about it leaving. I would most probably have tears in my eyes. KUDOS to a job most certainly well done, and you can beam with pride over that! BTW, my careerwas in the glass industry from commercial/residential glazing to automotive glass (my main focus), and the company I worked for would send me to several states to rectify issues in various stores, both from a management and employee standpoint, to cars that no-one could seem to figure out, much less install the glass correctly, hence my specific reference to the rear glass gasket. Job WELL DONE!! Isn't that the 318 poly motor with twin Carter afb's?
Thank you for taking the time to write! yes its a 318 with 2X4 WCFB cast iron base carbs correct numbers as per factory. they were tough to find and get parts for!
@@ES4406 I'm honestly surprised you were able to find them. I look on Hemmings occasionally to try and find parts just to see what's available, and sadly it seems that there isn't much these days. Ohh, if we only knew then what we do now, perhaps parts would be easier to find and replace! Thank YOU for replying.
I've been obsessed with the movie ever since I was five years old. I was a wee little kid when it cam out on video The car here doesn't have Christine's exaust note..
The backwards running odometer is the thing I admire most about Christine. I could use a Christine to use for rejuvenating purposes. The odometer not only rejuvenates Christine herself, but also anyone or anything in her. There is a lot of planned obsolecense in today's flat screen TV's, and they are not cheep to replace. If I had a Christine with that rejuvenating power, and my flatscreen TV goes on the blink, I could slide it into the space in the back just behind the front seat. Then, get in Christine, and go hop on I-77 south, drive down to Columbia SC and back. Why Columbia SC? It's the most accessible destination from where I live, and I-77 south is fairly accessible from my apartment complex in south Charlotte. I also have four dining chairs that I cherish as much as Arnie Cunningham cherished Christine. They are Early American mate's chairs that resemble the old Pizza Hut chairs, distinctive for their ornate spindle backs and guitar body shaped seats. Four times a year, I'd like to put those chairs in Christine, and drive down to Columbia and back for preventive maintenance on the chairs. A Christine would also come in handy if my mom drops her cherished flower vase. Sweep up the shards, put them in a plastic bag, take it in Christine, and go for a drive to rejuvenate it.
I can truly understand your pain. Broke my heart to sell my 58 Belvedere when life took an ugly turn......Think the only way I can ever own another is if I win the lottery....Then, I might even go after a movie car and I'll be saying...."How much are you asking for her ? I mean what ever it is it's not enough!"
I live in Evansville, IN. and had no idea that Plymouth was still producing here in 1958. This 58 must have been one of the last Plymouths produced here before the plant moved to St. Louis, Mo. (I just googled it and found that the plant closed in 1959 and it was the biggest employer in Evansville at the time.) I am now 73 years of age and around 1972 or 1973, I purchased a restored 1952 Plymouth, which was produced in Evansville. I sold it in 1974 for $300.00. How times have changed.
I wish I could've seen Evansville back in the day. International Harvester, Plymouth, Coca cola, Bucyrus Erie, Hercules, whirlpool, Hahn, ect. Southern Indiana was an economic powerhouse but it's now a shadow of it's former self :(
@@detroitdiesel-vu3ig Servel was at one time the largest employer with 10,000 employees. They laid off almost 100% of their employees in the mid 1950's, my deceased father being one of them, and Evansville went from being a giant manufacturing and war production city during WWII, to almost a ghost town in the mid to late 1950's. My Dad was in his 50's at that time and had to leave Evansville and go to Chicago, with other former Servel employees, to find work at a Diesel Train manufacturer. Dad said, that the Servel gas refrigerator was so long lasting and dependable that Sevel put themselves out of business. At one time Evansville was known as the Refrigerator manufacturer of the world. Today, Evansville is one of the largest manufacturer of plastic materials in the country with Bootz and Crescent plastics being the 2 largest in the city. Yes, you are correct, the population in the mid 1950's was around 150,000 and was at one time the 2nd largest city in Indiana. Today, the population is still 150,000 and the third largest city in Indiana.
That is very slick and clean it dont get any better. It must have been a lot of work man o man. Better than factory paint. It just like better than show room new.
Beautiful job terrific attention to detail when I was nine years old my dad bought a 58 Belvedere Plymouth convertible first convertible he had ever owned and I thought it was terrific. Being an only child he would let me drive it with him in the car had a Lotta good memories in that car. My cousin took it out. Saturday night was going way too fast at the corner. Some gas pumps flew 8 feet in the air hit a brick building totaled the car naturally he died in the accident, so there was bad memories to first car I’ve ever seen the speedometer go past 120 and it has a two barrel carburetor which I thought was pretty impressive.
Holy God what a beautiful car. It gives me goosebumps. I would drive it. Not in the rain or snow. But I would drive that girl. Carefully. Because that's what they're meant to do. "C'mon, big guy. Let's go for a drive. Let's cruise." "Yes, ma'am." Fill it up with hi-test, and motorvate.

Incredible job! I’ll bet it was tough to let her go. Sounds like it was a lot of blood sweat and tears to build her. Damn pretty car!
A long time to buildout. The hours were ridiculous.
Got question
Can u respond asap
Name chad
There is no way I could sell that car I hope the new owners take extremely good care of her and protect her from vandals or theft.
Very good job ❤
Beautiful car!! I’m more of a late ‘60s muscle car guy myself but I’ll tell you what, these ‘Christine’ Plymouths are exceptional!!
she should be in an art museum somewhere ....she is absolutely beautiful
This car is a world class work of art ! Amazing job!

Looks simply amazing. The new owner has a jewel of a car thanks to your work.
What a beautiful restoration job.
Red is my favorite color I would love to drive it on a rendezvous with the gals.💖
Beautiful! I would love to have a Christine car so bad
Wow! Haven't made it all the way through the video yet but Wow. My dream car right there. What an amazing job.

Legendary masterpiece that history will remember for years to come
I live in Evansville, IN. and had no idea that Plymouth was still producing here in 1958. This 58 must have been one of the last Plymouths produced here before the plant moved to St. Louis, Mo. (I just googled it and found that the plant closed in 1959 and it was the biggest employer in Evansville at the time.) I am now 73 years of age and around 1972 or 1973, I purchased a restored 1952 Plymouth, which was produced in Evansville. I sold it in 1974 for $300.00. How times have changed.
I wish I could've seen Evansville back in the day. International Harvester, Plymouth, Coca cola, Bucyrus Erie, Hercules, whirlpool, Hahn, ect. Southern Indiana was an economic powerhouse but it's now a shadow of it's former self :(
@@detroitdiesel-vu3ig Servel was at one time the largest employer with 10,000 employees. They laid off almost 100% of their employees in the mid 1950's, my deceased father being one of them, and Evansville went from being a giant manufacturing and war production city during WWII, to almost a ghost town in the mid to late 1950's. My Dad was in his 50's at that time and had to leave Evansville and go to Chicago, with other former Servel employees, to find work at a Diesel Train manufacturer. Dad said, that the Servel gas refrigerator was so long lasting and dependable that Sevel put themselves out of business. At one time Evansville was known as the Refrigerator manufacturer of the world.
Today, Evansville is one of the largest manufacturer of plastic materials in the country with Bootz and Crescent plastics being the 2 largest in the city. Yes, you are correct, the population in the mid 1950's was around 150,000 and was at one time the 2nd largest city in Indiana. Today, the population is still 150,000 and the third largest city in Indiana.
That is a beautiful CAR
Might taken a few years off your life but heck it was worth it so gorgeous holy moly this car gave me goosebumps sorry for your loss though! 😎
That is very slick and clean it dont get any better. It must have been a lot of work man o man. Better than factory paint. It just like better than show room new.
One word...MAGNIFICENT.
Beautiful job terrific attention to detail when I was nine years old my dad bought a 58 Belvedere Plymouth convertible first convertible he had ever owned and I thought it was terrific. Being an only child he would let me drive it with him in the car had a Lotta good memories in that car. My cousin took it out. Saturday night was going way too fast at the corner. Some gas pumps flew 8 feet in the air hit a brick building totaled the car naturally he died in the accident, so there was bad memories to first car I’ve ever seen the speedometer go past 120 and it has a two barrel carburetor which I thought was pretty impressive.

Holy God what a beautiful car. It gives me goosebumps. I would drive it. Not in the rain or snow. But I would drive that girl. Carefully. Because that's what they're meant to do.
"C'mon, big guy. Let's go for a drive. Let's cruise."
"Yes, ma'am."
