Extreme Veteran Posts: 394 Location: Royal Oak, MI | Congratulations to the new owner. The ad says "original"... wonder if that includes the color (although many '58 hardtops were actually produced in Toreador Red). I noticed that the interior is black and white, which I much prefer to the "Christine" red and white interior. Alextodd, is it a 318 car or a 350? What options does it have? | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 6203 Location: Big pimpin' | Boris56 - 2010-05-26 7:13 AM I noticed that the interior is black and white, which I much prefer to the "Christine" red and white interior. Um, the only thing White in "Christine's" interior if it was done movie correct was the Steering wheel and headliner....The seats were a Red/darker red combo and the same thing on the door panels.....A true red and white Interior on a Christine such as my own, would be considered "Custom"....Just FYI...

So "movie correct" was a custom red/darker red combo? Did the door panels follow the Belvedere or Fury trim pattern or was it a custom design? But the OEM red interior offered in '58 was red/white? I guess I'm not that up on what is "movie correct." | ||

Location: The Mile High City | Couldn't agree more with John. Even based on the portion of a photo that we have seen. 1958 Plymouth Belvedere sport coupes have managed to beat the Great Recession and appear to still be on the rise. Fantastic deal on this one. | ||

The ad certainly implies that your car was used in the making of the movie; if it was, there will be some documentation to that extent. If you are curious about it, you could post a pic of your car's Paint/Trim data plate on our Fender tag Decoding message board, and others can tell you more about your car's OEM condition, and, that site will show you how to order a copy of the Factory's IBM Build Card, on your car, which will provide a lot more information on how/when it was built. | ||

Expert Posts: 3588 Location: Plymouth Spaceport | I doubt the owner was trying to pass this car off as one of the movie cars,he just meant it was the same car used in Christine. Alextodd,again looks like she's a real beauty,can't wait to see the photos of her! What options does she have? | ||

Alextodd, See me for that red BTW....Good score on your Christine..She's in Good hands now...Holy Cow, what's next? Dare I say, a 440? Ah, but what IS the "correct" Christine red? From what I've read, the jury's out on that. And really, how different is it from Toreador Red? And who would know? But then again, aren't they ALL eventually painted some form of Christine red? Yawn... I guess homage to The Movie is paramount. And no '58 coupes have original engines, options, etc., unless they're real Buckskin Beige Furys. They've all been modified, from what I can tell.

Has your club ever gone on a pilgrimage to all the Christine filming sites? I wonder if the "factory" in the opening scenes or "Darnells" is still around? I've always wanted to find that place! | ||

We have the original movie jacket that Arnie wore, and the original movie locations from Alexandra paul.... | ||

Is there a list of the addresses to the filming sites on your clubs webpage? Wouldnt it be cool to have some of those signs that hung at "Darnells"....wonder what became of all that stuff. What about the Drive in? where was that located? I would also like to find the restaraunt seen in the delect segment where Arnie catches Dennis with his girlfriend and rams the side of his car. (great scene..I wish it wasnt removed from the film) | ||

Expert Posts: 3588 Location: Plymouth Spaceport | is it a 2 barrel carb or a four barrel? Torqueflite or powerflite? I had a 1958 Belvedere sport sedan years back and it had the 2bbl and 318 with torqueflite automatic and if I remember correctly it would get around 17 mpg depending on how it was driven.

I had a 1958 Belvedere sport sedan years back and it had the 2bbl and 318 with torqueflite automatic and if I remember correctly it would get around 17 mpg depending on how it was driven. Right, my old '58 Suburban was a 318 2-barrel with a Torqueflite, and it got 15-18 mpg without fail. I think I coaxed just over 20 mpg out of it on a highway stretch once. Not bad for a V-8 of that era. | ||
