Hey dudes,

That would be phat with a Elenor kit on it and some 18's

TMSBrad

That would be an absolute crime!

Evil_Capri

Agreed! That is a gorgeous '67!

Steve Mcqueen i need about 33k to make you proud

I agree

There is something to be said for leaving a car stock, or close to it. To be honest though, Elenor kits are really over done. Thats all anybody wants to do to a 67/68 fastback. How about coming up with something original? That car I would leave alone. The most I would do visually to a classic Mustang is a small drop and some 17" inch rims. But I may be biased, I tend to like mostly stock looking cars.

I tried to leave my car alone. That lasted about 6 months. I am currently trying to make my car similar to the 2008 Shelby GTs except for the grille.

NOStang05

Hey dude,

thats just stupid. the Elenor is the best looking old school ride out there. i wish i could afford a original one but theyre just way expensive. if this fastback was a Elenor it would be bringing $125000. Who's laughing now?

TMSBrad

An excellent 390 Fastback should not be sacrificed for an Eleanor recreation. Besides, Eleanor prices are plummeting. One sold at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach this year for $80,000.

Evil_Capri

In your opinion . . . .

Wow..........very nice!!

There is no such thing as an original Eleanor. Every one ever built started out as a normal 67/68 Fastback. Eleanor cars may be selling for good money now, but wait about 10 years and the bottom will fall out. Look what happened to all the Pro-Street style cars from the late 80's early 90's. There is ZERO market for those cars now. Thats because Pro-Street, like Eleanor, was a fad and quickly went out of style. But stock will never go out of style. The more cars that get Pro-Streeted, Pro-Toured, Eleanored or what ever will leave less stock looking and original cars out there. Raising the prices on these cars. The worst part about these fads is that for every one that turn out real nice and clean, there are about five that are hacked up, ruined and left to rot because the owner decided that it was too much work. Out of that five, you probably have one or two that started out like the above car.

And just so noone else can do it to me...... rant over.

It's impossible to know the future values of Eleanors and it is beside the point. The real point is that a $33k car does not become a $125k car because of some slapped on plastic parts and rims. It is not the Eleanor look that determines value it is the build or restored quality. There are $30k Eleanors just as sure as there are $200k Eleanors. It is the rest of the car that matters, not the addition of a plastic front facia and side scoops. Anyway, who is laughing now...I lost track of whose turn it is?

Every true Mustang lover thinks "Eleanor" often.




I heard that once at a car show.

NOStang05

Hey dude,

I guess you never saw gone in 60 seconds. There was one in the movie.

Bigred15

That car was a 67 Fastback pretending to be a modded up GT500. Prior to that movie, if someone called a car an Eleanor they were talking about the 73 Mach 1 that was in the original movie.

LMan

did that flick have just one, or more than one? sometimes they end up wrecking a lot of cars doing those kinds of movies.

mmr007

dudes,

would these cars still be as desireable if in the movie the car was nicknamed Edna or Harriet?

LMan

I dont think Eleanor is any better or worse than those two names.
