Furthermore, the site says:

This Plymouth Fury is one of very few known surviving Christines used to produce the movie. One of the star cars from the film, this Fury was used for close-up beauty shots meant to drive home the point that Christine was stunningly gorgeous… Rolling on wide whitewall tires with full-size wheel covers, a bumper sticker adorns the rear bumper reading, “Watch out for me, I am pure evil, I am Christine.” Of course, that was never seen in the film “Christine,” but movie buffs may remember seeing it in the movie, “Cat’s Eye,” another Stephen King adaptation in which Christine made a cameo appearance.

Unpopular nerd Arnie Cunningham (Keith Gordon) who buys a 1958 Plymouth Fury, which he names Christine. Arnie develops an unhealthy obsession with the car, to the alarm of his jock friend, Dennis Guilder (John Stockwell). After bully Buddy Repperton (William Ostrander) defaces Christine, the auto restores itself to perfect condition and begins killing off Buddy and his friends. Determined to stop the deaths, Dennis and Arnie's girlfriend, Leigh Cabot (Alexandra Paul), decide to destroy Christine.

Carpenter directed CHRISTINE from a script by Bill Phillips based on the novel by Stephen King. Richard Kobritz produced with Larry J. Franco and Bill Phillips. Keith Gordon starred with John Stockwell, Alexandra Paul, Robert Prosky, and Harry Dean Stanton. As per usual, Carpenter composed the film's score along with Alan Howarth. Columbia Pictures drove Christine head-first into a theater near you back on December 9, 1983.
