1958 Plymouth 2DR HT Christine Project Virtually everything you need to make a Christine! Factory Toreador Red and Iceberg White Car-Perfect to build you clone! I have decided to put my car out there, if it makes reserve fine, if not I will likely keep moving forward and finish it. I have owned dozens of fin cars and this was going to be my one and only ground up project but I am getting a little tired physically and I have been on a waiting list at the body restoration shop for much longer than promised or expected. This is the perfect chance to capitalize on my years of collecting parts for one of these rare cars. I have a total of 15 25 gallon containers for the parts listed below, plus extra bumpers, extra front fenders and so on. I could make this car a driver in a couple of days, but I prefer to see it completed correctly. All it takes to be a driver is to reinstall all the sportone. Then the interior would need to be redone (except headliner)in order for you to take to cruise ins. A few more minor things you can complete as you enjoy, or just go for it and get it restored as is my plan if it does not sell. 1958 350 GC Engine out of a 1958 Fury has been disassembled, sonic checked, magna-fluxed, etc. Complete and ready for rebuild. Currently has a mildly built 1965 361. Flat top pistons, decked, 324 heads, comp cam etc. 440 HP Manifolds with new dual exhaust, not extended all the way back yet, just needs a few more feet of tubes once body restoration is complete. Sounds sweet! Nice runner mated up to a 1965 torqueflite which was just built by a pro shop. Has a park in it, still a pushbutton and is lightweight which is why the 65 trans was chosen (one year only design) Currently runs and drives but I have only hooked up the front disc brakes. 1966 B-Body 3:23 Posi New driveline Torsion Bars off of a 1958 Fury-They are larger diameter Springs off the same 1958 Fury Front disk brakes off of a 73 challenger. I had steering arms cut from originals and welding on so there are no turning issues. Car runs and moves under power but needs finishing, it is not quite a driver yet, more on this later. With a little work you can have a driver which is correct Christine colors already This car is definitely something you could drive without a full restoration and just enjoy as it is. OR-Go all the way and have an extremely desirable car. INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING "CHRISTINE CORRECT" PARTS Complete and original 1958 Belvedere Aluminum Sporttone and all the Stainless Trim. I have had it on the car but removed it in prep for rotisserie paint job. Excellent Deluxe Power Steering Wheel Bumper wings, newly chromed steel set which are perfect and ready to bolt on. These are steel, not FRP!!-$4000 to buy a set of these Genuine 1958 Fury Speedo NOT JUST A STICKER, includes chromed bezel. Fury/Belvedere Seat Frames-The ones with the dips on the middle. Also, set of stock frames without the center dips. Roof rails and a set of new roof rail clips. Fury Quarter Panel Emblems-Genuine not reproduction Rechromed Dual Antenna Bases with New Antenna Masts-includes all the dual antenna cables as well Correct dual quad manifold-1958 350 GC Correct 1958 Fury Carbs Chromed Oval Air Cleaners-Need a little work on chrome, but original. Extra air filters as well Gold V Emblem-I have a silver Fury emblem as well for extra $$ Complete set of Polished Hubcaps-Does not have the black Paint Six or seven Extremely nice Original hubcaps in addition Two 14x6 Wheels, Plus Two 14x5 Stock 1958 Big Block Exhaust Manifolds, not the super expensive GC style, but still correct for year Full extra set of tinted side glass windows, all six pieces including vent windows Like new correct bumper jack OTHER EXTRA PARTS Original TF Trans out of 58 Fury Two Drivelines, One is the larger Fury and the other is the standard size Standard size torsion bars Offenhauser Dual Quad Intake-Vintage, not a repop Offenhauser Finned Valve Covers-Very rare four bolt style At least one extra radio An extra fan motor with housing Three Speed Wiper Motor with Controls Set of 15" Wheels and Tires on Reverse Chrome Baby Moons-Like New but Tires are several years old with literally no miles on them. Two Extra Sets of Taillight Housings. These are all metal, not aluminum. What makes these special is they are hard to find and are perfect for rechroming as they are much heavier duty than the aluminum style. New set of door and ignition locks and keys Two very nice 1957 Fenders Extra set of bumpers New fuel sending unit. Power brake system, complete with bellows, storage tank, flange for firewall and real power brake pedal. New master cylinder. Extra set of Big Block Heads-516 Closed Chamber Quench Heads Various extra switches for headlights, heater etc. Extra Tail Lenses, including correct Plybo Lenses New dome light cover (repro) Extra rear view mirror Excellent Two Post Side View Mirrors, as well as a set of the earlier Bullet Style Mirrors, also in nice shape Front windshield rubber gasket (aftermarket channeled) Rear Window rubber gasket (Aftermarket) WHAT IT NEEDS TO BE A DRIVER Fuel tank. I stole the used one off of this car after I cleaned it for another project. New they are $275.00. I have a new sending unit. Power steering lines hooked up. I have used hoses to go with the car. Seats recovered. WHERE ITS AT IN THE RESTORATION PROCESS In order to take it from driver to show car it will need full body restoration and paint. Very minor rust in places, easy repair and all parts are available so it is a very doable project. I have been waiting for over a year and a half for my car to go into a high-end resto shop here. You can have them do it and take advantage of my $1000 deposit if you want. It should be able to go in soon. If not, I just lose my $1000 Engine in same situation. I have it at a nice build shop. Put a $1000 down and asked them to start the build, but I am not sure they yet. Let them finish at your cost or I will collect the block etc and get it ready for pickup. Will need interior completely done to Christine colors or whatever. The headliner is the exception as it is in excellent shape. This is a good thing as they are impossible to find anyway. WHY SELL? I have been doing these car for nearly forty years. In fact, before the movie made them so popular and drove the prices so high. I promised myself to do one ground up now that I could afford it. Unfortunately my job keeps me on the road and when I get home I am so busy I cannot work on the car as I am behind on other projects or just plain worn out. This car has been a passion for a lot of years but it is time to consider letting someone else carry on with it. If it doesn't sell it is not heartbreak, I will keep plugging away at it (one dollar at a time, ha ha). When thinking about this keep in mind it will take a full size pickup bed just for the extra parts, maybe even more room than that. I would recommend maybe renting a 20' U-Haul with a transport trailer, or make sure your transporter understands the dynamics. Also, please not the 350 engine is not rebuilt yet. As mentioned, you can take advantage of my $1000 I already put down and have the shop finish it if you want. As of today they had not started on it yet. Thank you for looking and happy bidding.
