yeah they have a 67 Gt500. but havent seen anyone with a gt500e kit. making one on your own can be done. but i dont know anyone who could do that. try looking online for people would do scratch built model kits. only bad thing is these are usually one off kits so the pricing will be expensive.

I just saw at the local Wal-mart the Eleanor model from the second "Gone in 60 seconds" movie. It was in some kind of "movie stars" type packaging. 1/24 scale. However, I can't find it on the web anywhere.
Another GT500 -- in 1/24 scale
A '68 GT500KR - in 1/18 scale This one actually looks like the more recent Eleanor

Please don't misunderstand me - I know that there are a ton of models of the '67 GT350 & GT500, as well as the '68 GT350. GT500 and KRs.
What I'm saying is that no one has yet produced the GT500E as it appears in Gone in 60 Seconds (with Nicholas Cage).

yeah bsmith is right there arent any unless someone made it themselves. you could probably do the body mods from other cars. but there arent any versions of the wheel from the GT500E. your best bet is to talk to the people at diecast mustangs and see if they can find anything out for you
woo hoo mach 1 member baby!

Read the first sentence of my post.
Someone has recently come out with Eleanor as it appears in the movie with Nicolas Cage.
I saw the model, that you have to build, at Wal-Mart. It is in a box like the '68 Bullit was that has "Movie Star Cars" or something like that on it.
I just couldn't find it on the web. But I did see a 1/24 scale one at Wal-Mart this past week.

That's cool! I've been waiting for somebody to make a GT500E in any scale. I would even build a plastic one if I could find it. If you happen to be in Walmart again sometime, could you check on the company that manufactures this model and post it here? Also, any other details, like is the body diecast, or is the kit completely plastic? etc.
Thanks!
Thanks!

It's diecast. I've seen it at wal-mart too.
It's one of the easy models that is already painted. The detail on it is very good and it only needs glue (included). I think it retailed for $17-ish.

Oh... WOW. OK, that's pretty incredible. In what part of the country do you live? I'm in North Carolina, and our Wal-Marts are often ridiculously slow to get new items. Suffice it to say, though, this is very exciting for me.

There's a 1/18 Eleanor conversion kit on eBay. Check it out HERE. I'm actually surprised that it's taken this long for the garage kit industry to produce something. I still am waiting for a 1/25 scale conversion kit, so I can build that AMT kit that's been sitting in my closet for years.
