A little story about our Christine.....

First, My name is Chaney, and I always get

the message board (Auto trader paper), and look through it to see if I spot

something, and there it was back in 2004."For Sale: 1957 Plymouth Belvedere,

2dr hd top...$800.00".. I recognized the phone number imediately and

called my buddy.We bought it and tore it down right away. The car was in

pretty good shape overall, just needed to be restored...After getting into the

restoration however, it would seem that I was in over my head..

The car was rusted worse than thought, as this is how it always is, and would

need ALOT more work than thought...This has been the goal for almost 5 years

now...I got the bumper wing's from our fearless leader of the CCC, Wayne.

(Thanks Wayne)...

Lots said restore it back to the "Miss Belvedere" clone as this car was the twin,

but Christine was the goal...I remember my friends asking me back in high school

''Have you seen that movie Christine?", I had not as of then...Then one day my

mom brought home some "Car" movies and one was Christine..Finally, I was

gonna see what all the talk was about .

...From the first time I saw Christine, I was hooked.The car is powered by a

350 GC look-a-like 440, with twin carb's, and is set up like the #2 Christine

one in the "Show me" scene with chrome air cleaners

and valve covers...It also has a remote start, that can also rev the engine and turn

on the headlights. It has been a real hit at cruise nights here..
