1957 Plymouth Fury “Kristine 440 Beast” 06.29.26 (2 of 3) - test drive 1

All right, well back in the car again. I had to delete some video off this phone We were full of memory. So now I got enough memory in here to finish this video. So Here we are the car the car most of the time will start in park, but if it doesn't you bring it back in the neutral and it'll start so Right now what you're going to turn the ignition on Up, you see it won't start. So you come over here and put it right to neutral right there Then it should fire right up And you see it's got some horsepower you can tell by what it sounds like there's our killer helen car It doesn't have that kind of horsepower but uh This one does have some horsepower You can see all the gauges right here temperature. You can see it's cold There's the amps Great oil pressure. There's the vacuum. You can see it goes down What have you? We're gonna put her in drive here Take her for a little test drive really easy steering Sometimes when it's cold our first startup the the steering, uh, you know chatters a little bit But once you start driving a little bit Put some tunes on here Car does stop pretty good for these type of cars I mean doesn't stop like a modern car by no means but it does stop pretty good Don't go up to the end of the subdivision One thing good I didn't explain this car has no leaks in it So it does not leak oil which is a rare thing for these. I think this is the only one in the garage It does not leak any oil So that's a plus Horn works And everything else works the wipers work the the blinkers work all that type stuff radio I kind of explained the power windows. Um But most of the time you don't even put down the back windows anyway, and you just you don't do the side windows so i'm gonna pull up here and then we're gonna Put her in park i'm gonna show reverse Here she's going in reverse right now We're gonna roll that window up there Then i'm gonna roll this window up Here we are outside With the car running And I wanted to bring it out so you can see the paint and finish this video So i'm going to make two videos. They're giving a little bit of gas So here's outside This thing looks better outside than it does inside looking at this Looks like a gorgeous color that shines in the light You don't really see any of the flaws that I pointed out inside the garage You can hear it's got a hell of a cam sound Here's this side here I mean look at this thing. It's gorgeous To me, this is the car that you're buying. It's a car that you pull up at the car shows you got you know mid 40s in it, you don't have six figures in it and It's as bad as looking as any one of these Christine type cars are out in the planet and I would make the argument that with this big block that's in there Um and how it runs you'll beat most christines any day in a week this thing will uh Chirp the tires and you could actually burn the tires off this thing if you want That's what the previous owner used to do. That's what his family said. That's why he built this car There's those killer stone guards That are fiberglass fiberglass fenders. You can see what they look like out here Again, this car looks better outside than inside in those lights, but I wanted to show the true look of the cars You can see it's got missing the weatherstripping here. This is all dry rotted. So I would probably change this out It's probably original all the way on the car Here's the inside here It's almost 100 degrees here in st. Louis right now So we'll go look at the temperature gauge and see what it's doing Little mark right there little mark right there here's this issue on the uh This right here again none of this stuff You don't see it. I'm tripping on a rock here You don't really see this stuff out here in the sun. It just it's such a gorgeous car. It kind of just blends in There's the engine running alternator power steering Get back out of the way here I think you see when you get back here how mean this thing looks again painted bumpers painted inserts on the car nice stainless Painted bumpers on the back These emblems got a little bit of pot metal, uh damage on them. These fury emblems are are Like show quality. They're really good shape It's got a scar on the inserts that was there all these are the fury flutes um Obviously I explained the paint on the previous thing One thing you got to be careful with is overfilling this gas thing and gas running all down the side of the car Um, I had a guy in the past where gas gets on this insert and if it messes with the silver paint You could tape it off and repaint it with that paint that's in the trunk And then also that paint if you wanted to put some lower valances on you could do that You could also put a killer, uh, 58 Valance on the bottom. I have one that i'll sell with the car for additional 500 bucks If you want to put that on as a 58 to make it look more like christine a lot of options, but I would uh Run with this for a while and depending on your budget you can make changes to it or just leave it exactly like it is But here is the beast outside i'm gonna get some more photos and then uh Gonna send the videos and we're gonna go from there Have a great day from the state of missouri And this is the 1957 Christine with a k440 beast
