Default Eleanor

Just wondering which bodies can be used to make an eleanor clone. I am going to buy another mustang and was thinking the 68 GT was pretty close. I dont need something exactly to replicate it, just something similar. Also do i have to buy a different nose for the car? Thanks in advance

E2 Kit for your 66 ...Just Cuz I feel like being nice... They also have the one for the 67 an 68... but the link is for kit for the year range model you have, So ya can save money and just do your car... if it's a fastback... Unless you wanna buy a 68 Fastback...

If you are building a clone and want to save some big money on a nice car, consider using a coupe and converting it to a fastback using either Dynacorn parts and doing it your self or allowing a shop like Drake Customs to do it for you. You will pay dearly for a 67/68 fastback worth converting to an Eleanor and then have to strip it and complete any rust repair. For $9,000, you can get a completely converted, stripped, blasted, and epoxy primered rust free coupe converted to a fastback with a title from Drake.

Thanks alot for the link, thatd be sweet but my 66 is a coupe, i guess the kit would work it just wouldnt look exactly like the eleanor. i did do some googleing and saw that some were 1967 GT350 shelbys but i dont want to go the expensive route.
