that's lame that they have rights to it. that's like harrison ford having the rights to the name "millenium falcon"

 

It's not like that at all. Steve McQueen owned Solar Productions, the company that produced Bullitt. Warner Bros. was the distributor. It would be more like George Lucas having the Millenium Falcon rights.

 

Didn't know that, but good to know

 

If it is it's sweeet!

didnt see the post above me

 

If they come out lookin ike that, and they are reasonably priced, this will be pretty cool

 

Ron Bramlett always has some good ideas.

 

They will be cool but not reasonably priced. Ground up restorations are going through the roof. What would be cool would be if the drivetrain and suspension are upgraded.

 

Well let's see...

You start with one of these



Drop in one of these..



Fit a few upgraded suspension parts (just to keep it drivable) and your well on the way to a very nice replica.

 

I think it should have one of these in it. Who cares about the suspension as long as it has good brakes or a chute!

Anyone who wants to drive it on the street?

 

Somebody there needs to learn how to use an orbital polisher. I can see the swirl marks from here.

Has anyone spoken to MP to see if they are leading this effort. I'm not opposed (actually in favor of) a dynacorn body.

hahhahaa I was thinking the same thing about the swirl marks from the buffer.

 

Those hopes were flushed a long time ago. Credit Eleanor with the crazy prices of fastbacks.

 

I don't get the point. this is a very simple car to emulate, why would anyone need to buy something rather then making one themselves?

 

Because people are lazy

 

Why not the '08 instead? As iconic as the '68 is, the '08 has nothing to envy. Perhaps nostalgia but nothing else.

 

The most recent Eleanor was a 1967; or do people not make a distinction? Anyway, fastbacks do seem to command a silly premium. I know fewer were made and they look better (IMO) than a typical coupe, but prices are increasingly exorbitant.

 

They dont really....becuase you can use the same Eleanor parts with a '68. So...Both 67 and 68 are in demand for eleanor clones.

It would be like someone doing a GT500 conversion on a 2005 or 2006 S197
