The car "Christine" in the movie is a 1958 Plymouth Fury. Although the novel by Stephen King described Christine as a red and white custom-painted car, the film used primarily 1958 Plymouth Furys, along with some Plymouth Belvedere and Savoy models modified to look like the Fury. The 1958 Plymouth Fury used in the movie was typically red with a white roof, and it was a 2-door hardtop with a 350 cubic inch V8 engine producing about 300 horsepower. Multiple cars were used for different scenes, including stunt versions and those built for specific effects like the car's regeneration scenes.
