ah media...that double edged sword...there is a resurgence in the mustang craze but now fastbacks (and even some coupes) are being called eleanor...

was referring to the actual kit. I also reckoned it would be heavier if it were entirely of metal. and why would someone what a heavier car? unless they are looking to build an urban armored personel carrier.

If its a '67 fastback done by Unique Performance with the hood and everything, then and only then is it an Eleanor. Otherwise, FASTBACK.

unique, may make the "proper elenor clones" but any fastback that has had the body kit can be called an elenor clone imo ok the lawyers may not like it but screw them. I am not a fan of them myself especially if you have a decent working fastback but if saving a stang from scrap i am all for it.

either way the first 3 or four were cool, now everyone is elenor this/elenor that. However, i did love the paint of the new elenor and will do a reverse paint scheme on my car, gotta get that body straight first, black shows the flaws way to much!!!
