Sold my Eleanor, waiting for 2013 5.0!!

Its kinda sad news, but I'm also happy. I can't really enjoy the Eleanor how i would like, can't track it, can't daily drive it, can't afford to keep it and get a 2013, just had a baby and sometimes things have to give... i very very excited about the 2013 5.0 6 speed tho, can't wait!! it will be my first new mustang ever and 2nd new car from dealer ever. Plus getting a 2013 in early 2012 is like having a new car for 2 years

you guys might get a kick out of the video bellow

my neighbor got upset at me for driving eleanor up and down the street a couple times LOL

Beautiful car! Would have been tough to sell but Id prolly do the same thing if cost was an issue (which it would be for me ). I assume you dont drive up and down your own street normally so what is your neighbors issue? Hed have a friggin heart attack living 1 day on my street. If I ever turn into a grumpy old hater like that, just shoot me.

I am sure the neighbor got upset because he wanted to see a burn out plus a small brake stand.

Lmao @ your neighbor! He must own a prius. That must have been a hard decision. I don't know if I could part with a car like that. If you don't mind me asking, how much did she sell for?

That was my first and only time. I only had 5 miles on the car at that time.

I'm sure he will love my 2013 LOL I'll try to get some sort of video

Geez, old man needs to drink his prune juice and take his nap. Then again, maybe that's what he was doing!

That car is beautiful. If I had the money I'd have bought it. The '13 GT500 comes first.

I would have stopped right next to that old man and just kept revving the engine and making the gesture "I can't hear you!!!"

I'd love 2013 GT500 but for me 5.0 is enough power and priced good to not freak out over someone touching it. I read 11-12 gt500 had Trans issues as well and boss is using same Trans as the 5.0 I figured ford cdn replace tranies up to 60k miles and then I'll do t56 or tko600 swap ??

70k spent 90k got, original Shelby? Someone would have to be stupid to do Eleanor on a Shelby. Original Shelby is more valuable as it looked from factory without all the body kit junk

I guess more people saw it than I expected lol
