Man, say what you want about that car, I think it is gorgeous. I would drive that thing everyday, and 80 percent of us would trade in our finished mustangs for that one if we saw it in person. I would, and I LOVE my car.

Shelbys are cool (despite the not so great original fiberglass work)
DIS IS TRUE.
The New Eleanor is cool
CEPT FOR THAT HOOD , YEH..
Clones are okay (as long as you don't try to sell them as an original)
YEP

but why does eveyone feel compelled to opy something that has already been done to death.
AT THE 40TH , THERE WAS ONE ELEANOR . 1 . UNO . LESS THAN 2 . REALITY IS YOU CANT SAY ITS BEEN "DONE TO DEATH" . EVER SEEN ONE ON THE STREET ? DONT MISUNDERSTAND ME , IF SOMEONE JUST HATES ELEANOR PERIOD, THINKS SHE LOOKS LIKE A WRECKED PUGEOT , MAN THAT A-OK. THATS YOUR OPINION, AND IT SHOULD BE RESPECTED. IM SIMPLY ARGUING THE "DONE TO DEATH" PART .
The cars look good, but have an original thought. Mix and match some pieces, make your own mods, something truly "custom."
SOME PEOPLE HAVE DONE THAT HERE. MATTER OF FACT A FEW HAVE USED THE E NOSE CLIP ON THEIR RESTOS. SOME GO FULL ELEANOR.

Does no one have any imagination anymore.
HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN ANYTHING AND THOUGHT " I LOVE THAT,...AS IT SITS, I LOVE THAT " . SURE YOU HAVE. MAYBE NOT ON A CAR , BUT SOMETHING. THE PEOPLE WHO BUILD OR BUY ELEANOR SAW HER, AND HAD THAT THOUGHT.

And why do people make or buy these Eleanor cars? Do you want everyone to think its the movie car?
MAKE TO MAKE MONEY. BUY FOR LOVE OF THE CAR. AS FAR AS THE MOVIE CAR, I DOUBT ANYONE HAS TRIED TO PASS IT OFF AS A MOVIE CAR. I NEVER WOULD. BESIDES , THE MOVIE CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY A 67 GT500. MOST CLONES HAVE 351S OR 289S OR 302S. DO YOU MEAN "MOVIE USED" CAR ? The guys who designed the Eleanor took a concept and modified, but no else seems willing to do the same thing, they just run out and buy it? Have we all lost our since of creativity?
STILL COMES BACK TO A LOVE OF THE CAR, THE WAY SHE SITS, AS SEEN IN GISS. WHEN I SAW THE FILM, I HAD JUST FINISHED A 69 GTO JUDGE, ALL ORIGINAL , RAM AIR 3 4 SPD. I WAS SMITTEN, AND THE JUDGE HIT EBAY 3 DAYS LATER. ID NEVER TRY AND PASS MY CAR OFF AS THE SCREEN USED MOVIE CAR, OR SAY NIC CAGE JUMPED THE VINCENT THOMAS BRIDGE IN IT , ETC ETC. IM JUST A NORMAL GUY , BLUE COLLAR WORKER , THAT SAW A COOL CAR AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF, " SELF, I WANNA BUILD THAT CAR".BUT HERE IS A POINT TO PONDER . AS FOR CREATIVITY, EVERYONE HERE WHO IS A PURIST , AND THE VAST MAJORITY ARE, DO THEY LACK CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITY FOR RESTORING THEIR CARS BACK 100 PERCENT ORIGINAL.? AFTER ALL, CREATIVITY AND BEING ORIGINAL IN THE SINGULARLY DIFFERENT SENSE IS OUT THE WINDOW , WHEN YOU ARE A PURIST... TO SUM UP ALL THIS BRO, ITS SIMPLY THAT THE PEOPLE WHO BUILD ELEANOR TO SELL ARE AFTER THE PROFITS. THE GUYS THAT BUILD THEM ARE IN LOVE. THE RICH BOYS THAT GET THE 120 THOUSAND DOLLAR JOBS FROM SANDERSON TO SHOW OFF AT A SOCIAL FUNCTION ARE "SELF INDULGENT WEENIES" m.raines .

ROUTE IS DEAD ON, ON THE SUBJECT. PERFECTLY ARTICULATED .
I FEEL THE WAY 65RACECOUPE DOES, THATS WHY I PUT MY GTO ON THE BLOCK WHEN I SAW ELEANOR. I WAS JUST SMITTEN. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
