From the film ‘Christine’
Based on the book by Stephen King, the film Christine follows a possessed Plymouth Fury that wreaks havoc on the life of its owner and those around him. While a total of 24 Plymouth Furys were acquired for production, this was one of only two stunt cars in running condition used during filming. Coded "Muscle Two," the stunt car was supposed to be crushed after the movie debuted, but was saved by current owner Martin Sanchez. He used parts from the other Christines to restore the car back to its original condition.
Introduced for the 1956 model year, the Plymouth Fury was a sub-series of the Plymouth Belvedere until 1959. In 1958, the car was only available in Buckskin Beige with gold-anodized aluminum trim. Interiors were available in beige or gold.
