this is off topic but this board has the highest traffic, I just made a bet with a long time Mopar guy. Remember the movie Christine, written by Steven King? well I bet $100 bucks cause I am 99% positive that Arne's buddy in the movie drove a blue 1968 charger. He claims it was an old GTX.
Please tell me I'm $100 richer

It was the Charger. I can't remember if it was a 68 or 69, but it was a Charger.
Happy C-Note!

Contrary to what many believe, the car from the Steven King novel Christine was a 1958 Plymouth Fury. Although the book said the car was a Fury the car in the movie was a strange mix of a Fury and a Belvedere. An interesting side note is that many of the features of the car in the movie were incorrect. For example the scene where Arnie's girlfriend is locked in Christine at the drive-in theater shows the car having push button door locks. Also, the 1958 Fury was only available in Buckskin Beige, not Red.

I'm nto even sure the 318 (with dual quads, no less) was available that early in the scheme of things. But Arnie's buddy definitely backs out of the driveway and lays some stripes with a Charger.

Christine (1983) starred Keith Gordon, John Stockwell, and Alexandra Paul in a sci-fi thriller. Of course, the real star of the movie for us kar-krazy's was a red 1958 Plymouth Fury, that is nicknamed "CHRISTINE". This Stephen King thriller is about a nerdy high school kid who is physically tormented by his fellow demented students...gee, wasn't high school fun? Anyway, he purchases his first car, a 1958 Plymouth clunker, which keeps his nerdy reputation alive since his best-pal is driving a way-cool 1968 Charger!
I guess were talking about two different cars.
