Follow-up: "Sell my GT/CS, buy Eleanor" - Pics!
I decided to keep my GT/CS and build it my way... until I looked at these pictures this morning! I've seen the car before, but the thought of it wasn't wowing me... until I looked at the pictures....
It was dropped off at the body shop when it was brand new, before it got to the dealership even! In the first picture you will see the factory stickers still on the windows as well as the window sticker... then it was sanded down, had the parts all painted as well as the body re-sprayed so that everything matched perfectly, stripes are painted on under the clearcoat, needless to say, this was a big job and they did it right, as it is absolutely amazing... near the end of the pics, there is one in a poorly lit surrounding with the hood up, where you can see the Whipple HO, it also has 14" Baer brakes all the way around, 3.73s, Boost Guage and a few others in a pod, as well as lots of little things that add up, and only has 3000 km on it.... its a pretty awesome car, and it would be stupid for me to pass it up so I am rethinking this decision to keep my CS, although I'll probably buy this one and park it in the garage beside the CS until summer and if it sells then, great. No need to have both, and the Eleanor is one of a kind, there are lots out there like it, but none that are this perfect.... or I doubt I'll ever see one anyway.

that is an incredible looking mustang. the down side of owning something that immaculate is i would hate to drive it to certain places, like the mall, or on a rainy day, or everyday to work. it is a show car, but if that's what you want then by all means get it!

UMMMM....yeah buy the car !!!!! Has way more upgrades then the GT/CS and very well built IMO.... Mine was done the same way and I have the exact same rims (Ghost Blingz-discontinued) and love them very much on the car! If you were in the States I am sure it would sell very fast! I am sure one of a kind in your area as well!
