Because I'm not 100% on that. He's a pretty well informed guy though and an awesome source of information. If nothing else, I'm sure he could point you in the right direction.

Thanks everyone for your reponses so far, looks like a liscenced GT-500-E may be a little over his budget. I will have to verify. If anyone knows of a well built clone for sale please let me know.

Make sure he goes and looks at it before he buys it. I've seen tons of Eleanor clones in Los Angeles, and the majority of them have been built to a "different" standard than most other cars at car shows. I don't know whether it is because the ones in L.A. were owned and built (commissioned to be built) by non car guys that didn't want to spend the time and money for quality paint and body work, but a lot of them are really disappointing in person. I've seen some nice ones, really nice ones, but it is usually the exception to the rule.

In case you didn't already see this;

Thanks guys, I will send these to my buddy.

Unless its an Eleanor made for the movie, they are all clones, even the ones with a 'license' attached to it for marketing strategy.

But yes, if you buy an Eleanor, make sure the body work was done right, many of them the panels do not line up properly.
