If there is such thing as a Ford Hipster it would be you. Can't like Eleanor because all those simple car guys who like Chevys like Eleanor nowadays, and that just makes the car uncool. I bet you tell all the Eleanor fans that the original Mach 1 Eleanor is way cooler. :lol:

I can't be defined because then I'd fit in a category, and thus be too mainstream. :lmao:

They are the SCAR of the Mustang world. :action-smiley-027:

At least Eleanor doesn't resemble a challenger from a distance. On the other hand the build quality is probably better than all of the "nice" Eleanors combined.

IT was ;)

What about a convertible?

What a flirt!!!

I see your Ford Hipster and raise you a Hipster Dufus.

:lol:

As long as we can agree "you don't want that" Eleanor no need to get violent :lol:

More 'Shel-eanor' ... (aka 'El-ignore' for Rob. :hello:)

Can you blame him? Vintage is where it is at, he is just trying to enlighten those of us that are a little behind the curve. "Steam punk" is all the rage now, so he is probably all over 32 Ford Lakesters at the moment, but he will be on to something else by the time the rest of us start paying attention to them.

Not sure what the protocol is here about hijacking yer own thurred...:rolleyes:

But this is a real deal Shillbee.

Agreed. :thumbsup:

Rob was way into 'Intros' before the rest of us caught on.

No...This is all in.

DO.WANT.:yes:

Never say that around a Pinto

Thanks for posting that video. It was awesome. Back in 2000 when Nicholas Cage was in the remake that I watched, at that time I didn't know it was a remake. My dad told me it was a remake. That's when I went back and watched the original. The original was ahead of its time.

Jes like the Jerdawg! :unibrow:

:hello:

Great looking car... you nailed it.:thumbsup:

And thanks for the history Jay. Thing must be a beast. :cool:

Orig Tobi was going to make a part two but he died

LOL I'm only ahead in my time If I'm standing in front of a clock :bang: :hello:

Nice picture of the Eleanor.

69 Still better!:trophy-1302:

LOL:D


Man, I can only imagine how awesome that car must have been.

For those who care, there's a little bit of history on what's going on UNDER the bodywork here: http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/...60seconds.html It's not technically an Eleanor replica if it doesn't have TCP components!
:thankyou:

As to Shelby's in general, below is a real deal GT350 (production #18). It's owned by Kevin Sittner. He is one of our dealers and the same guy who now owns our '65 test car. His Shelby has a bunch of bolt-on TCP components including the full front coilover conversion with VariShocks, rack and pinion, leaf springs with VariShock bolt-ins and a TCP torque arm. Kevin is no slouch behind the wheel- he was invited to OUSCI in 2009 and set the second fastest lap on the big track before suffering an engine related mechanical. That was in the first session of the day, on a track he'd never seen.

The attached photo was taken at Thunderhill before Optima in 2009.

Every time I see an Eleanor, I want to steal it and jump it. Is that bad?

I get the same impulse when I see one of these. :lol:

I came across another picture of Kevin Sittner's Shelby, this time coming through the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca. Thanks to Tony Huntimer of RaceHome.com for letting me post it here.

Eleanors are timeless. Even after all these years, those cars still look very current and up to date pro-touring rides. I'd love to have one to go along with my 69. Best looking hotrods of all time in my book 69 camaro/67 shelby
