didn't know about the mustang. i used to have my vcr audio running through my component stereo for surround sound. i would crank up the volume and watch the beginning of the movie over and over. the sound was intoxicating.

I've done that in the garage when the movie came on....

Speaking of memorable sounds, the F-word was used a lot in the dialogue, reportedly because executives thought no one would pay to see a horror film if it was rated PG, and there wasn’t enough violence to warrant an R rating.

I don't know what it says about me, but that's kinda true. I've passed on "horror" movies with PG ratings. Then again, I don't think I've seen a new movie for about a decade.

Interesting that nothing has been said about "Christine" actually being a 58 Belvedere and not a Fury. No red Fury's in 58.

The movie covers it by saying it was "special ordered", and back then, it would be believable.

And on the line with all of the correct color ...

I also enjoyed the scene at the drive in movie when the door lock "buttons" locked by themselves....... The only 58 in the world with door lock buttons.

I know, It's just a movie.
