stuff that catches my eye

Now I’ve never driven one with a Hemi, so I can’t say if that makes you overlook that lol

I use to tease my dodge/ram friends that Chrysler cant do math and my 5.7 is the real 5.7. They said there's were 350s and I was like you wish

I'm old enough to feel like the Hemi is a 426 or the original ones from the 50s. Chrysler Fire Power 392, oh yeah now you're talking!

Wasn't christine a 350?. Which was Plymouth which was Chrysler?

When I got mine, the top of the air box is missing. With the round filter exposed. Figured that was a redneck cold air setup. With that extra power and the 10hp from stickers, I might have to go street racing. Lmaaaao

Well you do have a standard lol.

Not sure what the non hemi mopar was back then,more research needed. But the Dodge hemi was 331 cid, the DeSoto was 354. Plymouth had a baby hemi that was like 287 or something. Christine is a 57 which was the next to last year they used the early hemi's. In 59 they used the wedge motor that's the early version of the 60s big block(B/RB) 400,426, 440. Moparmat would be the guy to ask. If you read the book, Christine is a model that technically doesn't exist. But for the movie they used a 57 or 58 Fury 2 door.

Yes I've read enough Steven King books to wonder if he didn't get bullied a lot as a kid. But he picked the model for Christine to be a Fury very deliberately. Since the car is rage inCARnate after all. The Fury was actually only available in gold in 57 and 58, so there's a line about it's a special order paint job. Cause a killer Plymouth just has to be blood red right?

I haven't read 1 Stephan king book lol. I only watch the movies lol. But I know the books give more details. I believe I read the book had a different ending then the actual movie. I wonder if they'll remake christine.
