      Good luck man. I'm trying to find a project car to restore with my dad.
      Something for both of us to be proud of. We've had a lot of awesome old cars but we always ended up having to sell them. We've never had the money to keep them. Maybe one day I'll be able to get his old mustang back. I'm pretty sure he only got to drive it a few times. It sat half taken apart in the garage for years. He never had the time or energy to finish it. Eventually we hit a rough spot and had to sell it. I'm going to try to do everything I can to get it back. But first I need to find out who currently owns it. And I need to get a job. And my license.

    After seeing the film Christine in the theatre many years ago in winter time Alberta, Canada my wife and I got into our car but it was better than 40 below that night and of course it wouldn't start. Indeed, it would hardly turn over.
    As a joke to my wife I spoke to the car and caressed the dashboard (not my Mrs.) asking her to not let me down as I loved her and saying I knew she'd start for me. My wife quite horrified by the film thought my humour unfunny but when I turned the key again the car started right up. My wife and I looked and each other wide eyed... I was very, very nice to that car after that. After all, "Hell hath no fury like a Plymouth scorned."

    Christine is such an intimidating yet beautiful car.
    Cars nowadays need what cars back then had: Personality
    Because of the movie, I can never see the '58 Plymouth Fury as nothing more than a killing machine.
    The '69 Dodge Challenger as a countryside muscle car
    So on and so forth.
    Hope future generations will love and appreciate the time you put into preserving your car. Christine needs to be admired.

    This video is one in a million. i cannot believe how much this parallels my own story. i always wanted a classic car, since i was young. After many summers and odd jobs, when i was 15 i bought my first car... a 4 door 1959 Plymouth Fury. I towed the car back from Ohio home to western Massachusetts. Good from far, but far from good. so many nights i spent in my garage, countless hours, stacks of service manuals, and a box of craftsman wrenches. I used to come home from school and no matter how terrible my day was, she was always happy to see me. Ive had my first date in that car, drive in movies, fishing trips, you name it. my senior pictures for the high school yearbook were taken with my car, and i wrote my college application essay about her, and i was accepted to my dream school with help from it. You can't drag me away from that car.

      By the way you worded this I would assume you kept your car. That is incredible, never let it go. I sold my first love many years ago and have no idea where she is now.
      72 Chevelle I got for two hundred bucks in the early 90s. I put every last penny I had into that car and countless hours, but she got me where I needed to go and one day I figured it was time to sell it and move on to bigger and better things. I had some great Vehicles over the years, but I regret selling that car every single day of my life. Honestly, selling that car is the one thing I would change if I can go back in time. Hang on to her forever my friend, pass it on to the family when you're done

    This was really nice, and ended up being a very sweet and tender video. I love the fact that Martin is the exact opposite of the character in the book, despite having been treated in a similar fashion. If anything, it should be a hopeful message to people out there who deal with bullies. Just because you're bullied or made fun of, doesn't mean it has to define who and what you are. I love the fact that someone with such a kind heart got this car, and that she lives, and loves instead of hates..call me a romantic, call me sappy, but this is the way every great movie car story should end. Wow..between this, and the Back to the Future original time machine restoration project, two of my all time favorite cars now have good homes. ^_^

      Not in 1963. The 1957 that I had was a race car from New York that I bought in N.C.. I had to connect the two 4 barrel carbs and put new spark plugs in and a new left rear spring. After tuning it up it would just float down the road in the high 140s. It had a 150 speedo and the needle would go flat to the right and just quiver there. Smooth ride on 900x14s on the back and 700 -14s on the front. It was the ultimate go to the beach car. I took a hammer and an 8 inch metal screwdriver and chiselled through the top in front and the two posts in the back and I could stand up behind the front seat and pick up the roof and walk it off and sit it down leaning against a tree. Then I would go to the beach in a convertible.

One, makes me jealous cuz man I wish I had that car. But two it inspires me to keep searching and thinking maybe I might find one after all, and shortly after seeing this I found an ad for one for sale. I just wanted to say it's an honor to see Christine back on the road again and thanks for taking your time restoring it.
