During the film, there is a scene in which Buddy Reperton, a high-school bully who has hassled the car's owner, is being chased by Christine. Buddy pulls into a gas station and gets out of the car at which time Christine slams into his Camaro at high speed. Christine then attempts to back up but her gnarled iron is meshed with that of the Camaro so when she backs up, she drags the Camaro a few feet. When she does this you can clearly see in the center of the screen that the Camaro has no engine in it. (Obviously it was removed for safety reasons during the collision)
