Barry White thought he knew what he was buying when he picked up a gutted 1969 Camaro shell from a wrecking yard. Hidden rust, a supercharger that wouldn’t fit, an engine bay fire, and a run of bad luck earned the car its nickname: Christine, after Stephen King’s killer Plymouth. With $40,000 on the line at auction in Jackson Hole, and a rival Camaro selling for far less, watch to see whether the curse finally breaks.

The RestoMods team spent two years turning a clean 1969 Chevelle into their 22nd giveaway build — and this one went further than most, with a supercharged 427, a six-speed twin-disc manual, and Wilwood brakes built for something twice its weight. Whoever wins it can take the car or $100,000 in cash instead. Watch to see what two years and no shortcuts actually produces.
