This period was when Al Newman called me in to salvage her from the scraps. The challenges that come with marketing cars to individual buyers made the study to consider junking the vehicle. The producer purchased the car for almost a thousand dollars and towed her home. The state of it at the time was pitiable as it only had one rubber seat, five-point saddle, and no internal parts. The glasses all covered in tint safe for a small section where the stunt man works. The owner had to set up the radiator in the boot to avoid spilling liquid in wreck events.
The car has a wooden plank that separates the firewall and the primary support in front with rubber chrome. The buyer had to gather components from other cars to make Christine a beauty. I never meant to construct a fancy car, just one to drive around, and she has not failed me ever since. The reason is that they all had a stunt driver in all twenty-four of them.
The only times they were not driven was if a trailer nudged, and then they use a chord to pull them forward. Apart from that, there was a driver in all the cars during the stunts. As earlier stated, seventeen of the twenty-four Plymouths were what made up the active Christine car models.
There was no way it would have been one car going through all those damages, so the producers requested that Plymouth owners who wanted to sell should alert them.
The producers also had to transform a few Savoy and belvederes to resemble a Plymouth fury. They used seventeen of them in the car wrecking scenes with the remaining supplying the reserve components. The false impression of the Christine car recreating itself was due to the hydraulic propellers installed in the vehicle.
They were placed beside the trunk of a second car. The propellers pull in the car body to show a wreck interpretation of the first car and the movie rewound itself, showing the vehicle repairing itself. At the end of the shoot, the director ran effects on the video to change Christine from wrecked cars to glittering cars. Even more, the car comes with photos with producer Richard Kobritz with the car along with other various cast members.
