my guess is the majority of its fabricated. it is an interesting story, reminds me alot of the story with James Dean's Porsche.

The Christine car was a Belvedere hardtop - not a Fury (as claimed in the Facebook post).

 

In the book, Christine was described as a 1958 Plymouth Fury...sedan.  John Carpenter thought the coupe was sexier, thus the change for the movie.

 

 

 

I love the supernatural and this kind of stuff. Did some quick digging, and have found nothing to corroborate any of it though. All of the news articles out there say pretty much the same thing, with no names, no hard facts. 

Which is too bad, because that would be wild if it could be proven as true.

 

I mean, look at the curse of James Dean's Porsche. Hard facts, names, proof that strange things were afoot with that car. Imagine what that car will be worth if it ever turns up again.

interesting; I never read the book, but saw the movie, and read the awful reviews of the kit!

I wonder about people stealing works of art, historical manuscripts, archaeological artifacts and celebrity cars.  Who do they show these to for bragging purposes?

I think King also described it as a 2-door in one part of the book, and a 4-door in another.  Somewhere, probably on this board, I read that King wrote on "Christine" for a while.  He got tired of it and put it aside, then came back to it later. That may explain some of its problems. And maybe his publisher couldn't afford any editors...

I remember reading an interview with King, where he said that he didn't want the Haunted Car to be something too fast or sporty, like a Camaro or Charger. Just an ordinary working stiff's car.  But he blew that too.  The '58 Fury was a limited edition, very exclusive car.  He'd have been OK if he'd made it a '59, when the Fury was just the top of the Plymouth line and available as a 4-door.  And of course, as everybody in here knows, the '58 Fury only came in one color: Buckskin Beige. "White over red" was not available.
