RE: Mustang "Eleanors" - do ya love em? or hate em?

ORIGINAL: atomsk680
its overly done. too many people made clones and the same kind of people think their rusted 67 fastback is worth 10grand solely because it could be made to be an eleanor
That's the only rant I have about the eleanors is that they have caused a major price inflation for the 67 fastbacks. I guess that could be a good thing at the same time though in that owners are getting a lot more for their rides (this is the case with many other mustang years not just the 67's).
RE: Mustang "Eleanors" - do ya love em? or hate em?
because of the "elenor" craze all fastbacks 64-68 have gone up in "value"! Stupid Movie!!

cant stand the movie. Nic Cage cannot suspend disbelief. You always know its Nic Cagewhen he is on the screen. Add the technical BS that is on par with "fast and fictitious" movies for complete fantasy, and the movie loses its charm.
That being said. While it looked interesting in the movie, because it wasnt on the screen all the time, and they could hide a bunch of bad parts about it, they are just like a body kit on a Civic. its like rice has made it to the Mustang and people actually like it. Shelby didnt just add body parts to his cars, for the most part his stuff hauled tail. Most of these clones are just a body kit with a mild engine, and really a body kit shouldnt increase the value of a car.
Enough is enough. If I never see one again it will be too soon. Its a fad that is worse than Pro Street/Pro Fairground, and the riced out imports and front drivers. Its worse because it takes a decent car and makes idiots with money want to have one, so then the price goes up on them. That makes it tougher for someone like us to own one, because some tool thinks his rusted out fastback with a 6 is worth $20,000..
