The real Eleanor is the yellow 73.

They sell Eleanor type kits for 65-66 too, but it is really 67-68 fastback only.

I have to say that I am just tired of Eleanor stuff. I would just keep its classic style or do something different. To me the E body kit stuff looks just like the "tuner" stuff does for the Hondas. Its just overdone. I can't beleive that so many people copied a movie car.

I really like that reactor one... I like how all their front valances use some type of piping on the front to take in more air, its really cool.

Also, I would totally copy that obsidian mustang, its amazing. And also that blackened 69 that was on the cover of some mustang magazine I cant remember

I don't like the Eleanor for a few reasons one it changes the lines of the car and looks too boxy and ricer style.And every car show i go to there is about 50 of them in a line i like to stand out.Its your car do what makes you happy but i like being different.The blackened 69 looks nice but its got a mod motor in it which made me hate the car.

Classic Mean muscle car look FTW! Fatty tires, hood scoop/blower, side exit exhaust, spoiler/wing so forth!... But, it's your car... if you REALLY TRULY wanna do an Eleanor... then go for it... But... at least change it up a bit, instead of going with that hump hood... go with a 68 style Shelby hood... you know, the one that looks like the hood on the silver 09 Mustang on the banner at the top of the screen. Instead of using those fog lights in the lower valance, use a billet grill top and bottom *Gotten from the same site as the link I gave ya*instead of the Eleanor Tail lights, use like... tail lights from a 65 Thunderbird

throw window louvers on the rear window!... *Ok I admit the louvers might be going to far with the body style, but you know*... OH I know, better yet, instead of the Fog Lights down below... Just make them like a regular GT headlight system with the other light set inside the grill!...

BUT... Like I said, your car, your choice, your happiness! Jus tryin to help!

No worries, i dont plan to exactly copy the eleanor, i just like certian things about it like the valences. The other websites have alot better parts as far as scoops and other things. the autoworksracing website has some of the coolest cars ive seen!!
