This reminds me of all those Dodge Chargers out there that were trashed with a gallon of orange paint and a rebel flag decal, all because of a television show.

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, Melanie in AR
