[enigma413]

Now that is a beautiful car.

[glac9092]

could u ask her if she will stop by my house tonight and pick me up

[bhart3fan]

AUDIOMOBILE what song is the radio playing on startup?

[AudioMobil]

@bhart3fan Just like the ad above says it's "I Wonder Why" by "Dion & The Belmonts". One of my favorite songs from the movie Christine...

[DIMEBAGJIMMY426]

In the book it also said christine had a gm tranny, colum shift which you know the the autos were push button. Stephen king was no car guy haha. Its tobad they had to rush the movie an dident make it with more of the books influence. Still a shame so many savoys belvederes an furys were trashed though

[bubbarules1978]

no dual quads?

[AudioMobil]

@bubbarules1978 No dual quads, no 150mph speedo, no 350 GC engine, no bumper wings, no torqueflite, no power brakes...so what?

[KITT171]

That's what a engine is supposed to sound like.

[angrytroll27]

id rather hear a v8 then the music

[AudioMobil]

@borednesslife You've probably seen a 1957 and a 1958 Plymouth. All 58 Plymouth have the same headlights and the lower valance is the same too...

[AudioMobil]

@borednesslife Well, the book says Christine was a 1958 Fury but in fact she was more like a Belvedere with some Fury specific options like the 150mph speedometer. My car has no Fury options at all...

[Genners111]

Next time she acts up and doesn't want to start -- tell her how everything's still the same... and she'll fire right up! :-p

[Genners111]

also sounds to me like the starter could use an inspection...

[AudioMobil]

@Genners111 It's like this since I bought the car in 2008...never worried about it. Normally she fires up within a second but after a few weeks or months she's a little bitchy...

[Genners111]

@AudioMobil HAHAHA typical Christine behaviour.....

[madboutbms]

i live in the uk, and i have watch the film so many times on dvd that i have had to have 9 diffrant copies of it, i have the sound track on my phone and soon hopeing to get a model while i'm saveing up to get my very own christine i dont care what it take i want one.. awsome film, awsome car

[mintyhippo001]

Is it a 4 door or 2 door

[AudioMobil]

@mintyhippo001 Just watch the video again (0:38), this should answer your question?

[Genners111]

ummmm... why is the oil light still on after it started? I wouldn't take a chance... LOL j/k I am sure there' a good reason

[AudioMobil]

@Genners111 The Oil pressure switch was broken and it took me some time to find a new one...:-)

[Genners111]

@AudioMobil Fair enough -- I bet they aren't so easy to find...

[sb57fury1]

My advice during the winter months go out start the car and let it run for at least 5 min every week

[profruss]

The motor in the movie was the factory big block 318 two fours dual points only made 750 of them speedometer goes to 150 the one in my video is the 318 big block, your car is still beautiful

[AudioMobil]

@profruss The 318 was the standard small block V8 poly engine, in 1958 the only big block was the (optional) 350 "Golden Commando" engine - the one they showed in the movie. Your car has the Dual Fury V-800 engine and indeed the 150mph speedo, that's impressive. Are you sure it came from factory that way? This engine was the standard engine for the 58 Fury and not available in other models, same with the 150 mph speedo. I really like the Suburban, would look good beside my Christine! :-)

[Btownbrown30]

Whats up with the 1957 badging on the the trunk lid? Love the car btw!!

[AudioMobil]

@Btownbrown30 One of the previous owners did that, I can't remove it because he drilled holes in the trunk lid...:-)

[MO3MINI]

she seemed to take an awful long time to register oil pressure! I take it that oil light does go out lol but still a very nice car. I have to get one!

[AudioMobil]

@MO3MINI The oil pressure switch was broken, the light was on almost all of the time... :-)

[MO3MINI]

@AudioMobil fair enough. Always worrying to see an oil light on or the pressure gauge reading nothing in a video lol

[mta798]

VERY VERY VERY NICE CAR MATE CRISTINE she IS beautifull,

[martinbond1993]

Wow... I'm now even more in live with this car then I was before this little movie!

It's great some of Christine's sisters are still driven instead of gathering dust somewhere! She looks and sounds truly beautifull, I hope you enjoy her as mutch as you can ;)

[helmuthoorn]

OK

You're right.

It was sand dune white.

[halfwit134]

Just a quick question, why is there such a loud clunking noise after starting/ trying to start or after the starter stops turning?

[AudioMobil]

@halfwit134 You already asked me the same question on one of my other videos, did you?

[halfwit134]

@AudioMobil haha, yes i did but that was about the grinding of the starter and you said it was because of the remote start. i asked why i seemed to hear a clunking noise when starting around 0:57 because my fathers does the same thing but he said he doesn't know what it is.....

[AudioMobil]

@halfwit134

I'm still not sure what it is, maybe there's something wrong with the starter or the freewheel.

[fairmontxf87]

A car worth being posessed by, man I wish she was mine,

[peugteobike]

she is a bueaty

[brennenrulez]

golden commando <3

[XiphosDragon]

Was this a '57 converted to a '58, or was the trunk lid from a '57 only?

[AudioMobil]

@XiphosDragon Someone added the 57 crest to the 58 letters on the trunklid, I don't know why they did this...

[helmuthoorn]

@XiphosDragon

1957 versions were only available in egg shell white.

[XiphosDragon]

@helmuthoorn What do you mean, the fury's' or the other 3 models Plymouth had? Fury's' were only available in Sand Dune White for '57, while '58 was limited to Buckskin Beige. Egg shell white was an option for the other lines, unless it was a color the Plaza wasn't allowed.

[sharpdressedman100]

Be careful what you say when your next to christine. She gets jealous very easily

[bigduo99]

hey man what kind of exhausts on that beast, i got 62 buick with a 401 wildcat and she needs some new exhausts

[1979lincolncoupe]

careful, it might try to kill everyone who messes with you

[gunny426plymouth]

creepy lol your storage place looks like the one at darnells

[tricolorce]

Where did you buy this machine and how much it cost?

[MrSkidooguy1]

what is rong with the starter man, its not grabing

[TheOldcarlover]

I love your car! Christine is so beautiful.

[aleangelo]

Dion and the Belmonts...i love!!! what bealtifull car!! My God...

alex (Brazil)

[cooljoey02]

sweet

[auaiao9]

Cool car. The movie was good too.

[fragglevooper]

Spooky! Awesome car dude

[UberWolfGeist]

where do do i find one ?

[GrendelBoglin]

I was wondering, about how much exactly would these sell for?

[retroolschool]

@GrendelBoglin I saw one on ebay last year with a buy it now for $74,000. Thats some serious coin!!

[GrendelBoglin]

@retroolschool Well looks like I'm screwed. Unless, I were to buy some other 50s-60s plymouth model that looks like a Christine, repaint it. Redo the entire thing. Fix an engine, because I've seen cheap practically destroyed, engine-less ones for like 200$.

[firebat42]

Love that sharp green dashboard. It's so sinister >=)

[augustoblues89]

AWESUM!!! Beautiful assasin car... hehehe

[HereticDylan]

I had the idea of restoring one of these, but can't find them anywhere. The thought of doing it, gives me chills. It's a great car.

[AudioMobil]

@HereticDylan

Hi! Those cars are getting rarer every day but a good project car for restoration can still be found at an affordable price. Maybe you like to join our International Christine Club? We would gladly help you to make your dream come true. The internet address is posted in the video descrption above...

[deion712]

when i heard the music come on, it kind of creeped me out. if youve seen the movie christine, u would know why,lol

[Rarrin9378]

@deion712 Yea I know right, haha

[MrSwiftman007]

Wow do you know how many times I played that video! I just wished Im doing that cold start in my garage with that car.. Out of curiosity, do you know the lenght and the width of a Belvedere/Fury ? Is it the same as the Suburban? Curious to know if it can fit in my garage !

Many thanks for that upload. Take care of this puppy

[AudioMobil]

@MrSwiftman007

Hi, I'm glad you like my video. Maybe you like to join our International Christine Club? Maybe we can help you to find your dream car, the internet address is posted in the video description above. This is how it all began, I still remember seeing videos of a 58 Plymouth on youtube (it was Donnie's car, he's one of my Club mates) and always dreamed about Christine...since I first saw the movie as a kid. I joined the club and only a year later my dream came true...

[MrSwiftman007]

@AudioMobil

Thanks I just subscribed:)

[drew6495]

hey im the same as katieducky23 can you help me also

[AudioMobil]

@drew6495

Hi! Like I posted above, you're welcome to visit our International Christine Club, the internet address is posted in the video description above. Just join our forum, new member are always welcome and maybe we can help you finding the right car...

[RCbasher1243]

im obessed over the movie and book christine!!! this car is so amazing. im only 16 and i wish i could restore one of my own and im going to join your club :D

[katieducky23]

im 17 so idk much about restoration so wut can u tell me about finding one like u have? :O

[AudioMobil]

@katieducky23

One of our member was only 16 years old when he bought his 1957 Plymouth. 2dr HT Coupés are more expensive than 2dr or 4dr sedan which can still be found for little money - even in running and driving condition. Maybe you should join our International Christine Club, maybe we can help you to make your dream come true. Link is posted in the video description above. :-)

[katieducky23]

@AudioMobil omg! i will join! O: ty ty

[caddy1119]

beautiful car, question though. What is the button you pressed before you turn the key to start it? I figured it might have been a button to prime the carb.

[AudioMobil]

@caddy1119

Hi there, I didn't press any buttons, I just turned the ignition off and on again before starting. I know, there's no need to do this...actually I don't know why I did it? :-)

[TheBarneykilla97]

u need dual chrome headers dude and the origional plymouth furies came in beige and other colors but in the book lebay said his brother painted it red and pearl white

[mrbobtyler]

STEPHEN KING ROCK'S I LIKE THE MUSIC YEAH IT HAD TWO BARB'S I WISH THEY WOULD MAKE ANOTHER MOVIE CHRISTINE 2 OR WHAT NOT

MAXIMUM OVER DRIVE I WATCH THOSE MOVIES ALL DAY. NICE VIDEO MAN!!

THUMB'S UP.

[Dagonslayer2007o9]

Awesome, you should make a short movie kinda like when moochie sees christine right before he gets killed, with little bitty pretty one playing

[jerste3360]

verry nice man, i would kill to have this car!

[katieducky23]

@jerste3360 Its a hard and expensive process but we took a 1959 mercury and burned off reformed and banged some metal and made it look just as close as christine.

[sockembopers12]

I has a boner. ; )

[sldl04]

Beautiful car, man.  And I love the authentic sound effects from the movie!! I'm a huge King fan.

[jakeluvsmel]

yeah.... he has a belvedere. I guess that's why he has a 120 speedo. The Fury had a 150 speedo. I hope i didn't hurt his underaed felings but that just the way it is. Truth be known

[SableTaurus]

My god.. you're the luckiest guy alive..

[margefan123]

nice car

[sockembopers12]

Epic

[ajhgfhgjbjhbjhb]

dam badass car man nice car foreals.

[teendude16]

What a a bueatiful car, I heard the retro car's use up more gas, how come I don't see these cars on the road, Thanks for a great video.

[retroolschool]

This is about the third time I watch your video, and have to tell you that in CHRISTINE the movie, when Arnie is about to leave Leighs house in the pouring rain, and you know the rest with Dion and the Belmonts on startup, this is is one of the coolest things Ive ever seen!!

[topgunner58]

but i any one really pays close attention when they show the carbs all banged up and they cut out and then come back the motor in the real Christine is a 350 Chevy

[bubbah12345]

by the way wat was that clanking sound at the beginning of the startup

[bubbah12345]

lol i didntkno that i just remembered seeing the smashed up carbs and remembered there were 2 of em

[bubbah12345]

i thought christine had double carbs

[AudioMobil]

Christine had bumper wings as well, a 150mph speedo, different interior, power brakes and a different engine of course...but that doesn't matter to me! :-)

[orangie84]

gees..

That was awesome!!

i actually expected her to come flying down the drive way and run the camera over!! lol

i really wish they would have made a Christine 2 as well..

I actually wrote story ideas myself on it..

you know story plot setting imagine all of sudden she is back from the junk yard more pissed than ever!! her lover is dead they tried to crash her up then flatten her squash her and turned her into a cube at the junk yard I think she would be more than pissed

[orangie84]

i thought have it she was in the junk yard for at least 2 decades (brings us to current date or so) she waits it out because her revenge is to come after the family, the kids of the people who squashed her.. all of them

i mean the junk yard owners kids and so on..

have it no one at first knows who or why

but when christine targets dennis and Leigh's 17 or 18 year old children that's when it all falls in to place and Dennis knows exactly what is going on and its up to the family to well you know

[426SPAZ]

NICE.. just pitched a trouser tent.

[bad66chevelles]

can you show me if you dont mind how pushbutton cars work?

[AudioMobil]

The transmission was controlled by a cable assembly. I'm not sure but I believe there is a cam type device in the shifter selector box that moves when you press the buttons. In the earlier years of the push button there was no park selection, so you had to use your parking brake.

[crosbeyrocks]

nice car

[brokencherry16]

15 size wheels

[jerste3360]

thats an badass car cant waint to try to find one =)

[bouncingsoulspunker]

question for you. what size wheels do you have on your car? im looking at a 58 on concrete blocks and wondering what sizes wheels fit them?

[SuperMAZ007]

Thats one of the nicest Plymouths I have seen, good job and a high quality video,nice job.

I like also 1957 Plymouth even If I would never have seen the movie Christine I still would like this car.

[bad66chevelles]

cool car dude

[AudioMobil]

Thanks, looks like you have some cool old cars as well?

[charger19691]

A definite higher quality video, nice job! I've always liked Christine, and I always wanted to see a" Christine 2". The studio said they didn't want to do a second movie because the cars are so rare now. But hollywood has alot of money...maybe if they built some fiberglass replica bodies??? I would like to see Christine on the big screen again!

[AudioMobil]

Thanks you, I'd like to see a sequel too - but only if they wouldn't crash any more 2 door hardtops. These cars are rare as hell today and almost every coupe is worth saving. The idea with the fiberglass repro bodies sounds good...but I'm not sure how they would look in a crash scene? ;-)

[peugteobike]

she's a classic

[AudioMobil]

Thanks, she's a childhood dream that came true... :-)

[metalmaker43]

She's a sweetheart!....you're so lucky to have her. and it was a nice touch to put in the song "i wonder why" right when she fired up. cool vid...keep us posted!!

[pmc40]

awesome, i was waiting for you to say come on christine when she wouldnt start strait away lol, love all these clips of her on youtube and i have the diecast of her

[badboykurza]

oh yeah thats the shit right there, lovin it mate

[ProdatronKITT]

How cool is this video!?! 8-) Didn't see it before, I just love it with the music, perfect!!

[IRONMAN000]

Awee man,......i love the tune when she just fired up..how perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it man, keep um coming!!

[bouncingsoulspunker]

nice car, question for you, your car has 58 tail lights, but the trunk emblem is from a 57. was ur car a 57 that u turned into a 58 or did u just like the 57 trunk emblem and leave it on?

[AudioMobil]

One of the previous owners added the 57 trunk emblem and drilled some holes to mount it. So I guess I will just leave it this way... :-)

[Jeepus80]

way to fuck up a good car vid put some lame ass music to it ass hole

[AudioMobil]

YOU sound like a real asshole to me! You seem to know nothing about these cars and the music of this era...so better keep your stupid mouth shut!

[halfdude]

Oh man, how could you dis Dion and the Belmonts! Oo

[1966mopar1966]

dion nice choice

[honkycabbit]

Yea they look like eggs on wheels.

[redratcrawford]

the cars today don't look like cars.

[AudioMobil]

They just don't make 'em like that anymore! ;-)

[ExiExi]

Thanks, man. I truly enjoyed it.

They don't build cars anymore, they just copy-paste them. Greedy bastards. *sigh

[b209av]

oh my god just like the movie..

maybe you should do it at night and hazy rain..lol

[zfreak1981]

bad ass to the bone

[DerAdventurer]

F*ck you!!!!!! :D Gosh, I envy you sooooo badly dude!!!

Awesome! Incredible, amazing, superb, marvellous! OmGod... I just had an orgasm when the radio came on! Dang!!!!! You're the luckiest dude on Earth! XD

I loved the cover at early seconds... looked quite sinister! And... dang I've got a Volvo C30... you know, its new, its quiet, its lol... so fucking perfect that makes it boring. Yours has soul on its sounds! GREAT! Thanks for sharing. Good vibes from Greece!

[AudioMobil]

Thanks a lot, I really love this sound...and the special smell of gas mix with oil and exhaust fumes! :-) A friend of mine from Greece is currently restoring a *real* 1957 Fury, there are some videos of his car on youtube as well.

[DerAdventurer]

I'm considering to start restoring an old car here too. Some options from vehicles I've seen around are a 70's Mercedes, an early 60's Volvo and there's a Ford Edsel in Santorini... owner has passed out and old lady doesn't wanna sell it - though it needs work to get in shape again. Oh well, I'll see what I'll do.

Congrats, once again.

[TheStarbster]

wha one song from the movie playing on the radio! Nice car i have a sport coupe 1957 Belvedere Christine its awesome :) plus it has a 350 engine!

[AudioMobil]

Looks like you don't know what car you have? 1957 Belvedere? Your profile says 1958...

[acedupdude78]

....... hey thats my friend ur talking 2

[AudioMobil]

So what? :-D

[v8localhero]

IIIYYEEEHAAAW!!!

[Fernan4502]

yes yeah let rock on

[ChrisTurbo]

klasse mopar, gute musikwahl. ;)

[classiciron1958]

One of the most gorgeous cars ever to roll of an american assembly line. I want one soooo bad! Near Carlton, MN, off a dirt road in the woods theres not one, but two 58' belvederes layin in a mangled heap in a creek bed. One's a convertable. Both were bulldozed over in the late sixties.

[AudioMobil]

I remember seeing photos of a giant heap of old, burnt out cars, there was a 57/58 Surburban as well. Do you have any photos? Are there any useable parts left?

[classiciron1958]

This comin july when im home ill post a video of them up. Right now im still in Virginia stationed in the Navy.

[PocketThunder]

Ya buddy!!!

[retroolschool]

Fantastic recreation from my favorite scene from my favorite movie!! This is what you tube is all about!

[asjarrett]

Wow! great work Roland! the music is where it's at.

Can't wait for the next one either.

[herbienbrian]

AWESOME VID!! I can't waite for the next one!! :DD
