OK...
You kids need to know your Mustang History and stop sounding like new borns.
This here, is the only and real Eleanor:
It's from the (real) movie "Gone in 60 second" from 1974.
That car was not even a Mach1 BTW, just a regular sport roof with a blacked out scheme on it.
There were no Eleanor in 68...
Some moron in Hollywood came up with the movie in 2000 and decided to build a 68 fastback (build by Foose if I recall) that he called Eleanor, lol.
So basically, a bondo bucket took the name of a car from a 74 movie because it sounded cool.
Later on, Cervini came up with their version for the 05/09 body style.
Then there was the Ronaele, lol...
As far as Retrobuilt... By a real 69 Mach for cheaper if you have any brains.

And - if he's going to do it - I just hope it doesn't have the original engine, and he doesn't get her too wet... And isn't anything rare, like an actual 69 Mach 1

By that logic, the old Honda's that ricers put giant wings and stickers on, are classics.

But it's such a shame to just look at them.
Drive them and wear them out, you can always rebuild them.
That Cougar of mine is on its 3rd engine since I owned it (302, 392, 342).
I took that Cleveland out long ago and set it aside for sake of originality.

My cousin has the original engine of his Trans Am sitting in his garage. Drives it with a 350 or something in it.
My other cousin has the original trans of his 65 Fastback in his garage, too. Drives it with a 5 speed.
