He may have only been speaking of the '57's then, since his is a '57
Belvedere. I thought he meant for both '57 and '58 since Christine is, in
fact, a Fury. He mentioned one can make a '57 look just like a '58 with
just a headlight &/or grill modification or something like that. I'll have
to pay closer attention the next time he tells me about it.
His is a '57 Belvedere in that golden/greenish color, which reminds me of
rotten baby food peas. It is 2-tone with the white trim. He has to
re-paint it, and I'm trying to convince him to do the color-change to a
Christine-mobile. I know it would be a lot more work, but darn, she's a
cool-looking car! How do you guys feel about color-changes (especially if
the original color is UGLY) and Christine-look clones (and I mean ones that
actually do look like Christine--not that Dodge ebay auction mentioned
earlier)? I told him that since he was lucky enough to find a car that
close to the original Christine, AND it needs completely re-painted, why not
make it ultra-cool? How would this affect his re-sale value, too? Better
or worse? Thanks for any advice. He hasn't decided for sure yet. He is
thinking that his car is the same color and basically the same car as the
buried Plymouth in OK, and he's wanting to drive his out there in 2007, so
that's one reason he's thinking of keeping the gold/green color to match the
buried one. I say who cares about matching that car since it isn't like
someone is going to pay him to drive it out there. Maybe if you guys all
suggest he Christine it up, I can convince him...
Thanks,
