Well,everyone has the right to their own opinion,so here is mine. You should never put wheels like that on a classic.

RE: GT-500 or Eleanor
you have modified ie exhaust, 15 inch wheels, kelsey hayes style discs, basically if its pretty period correct its just a modded stang. if you go and put an mp3 player, 19's, force 10 discs, and a 347 fi stroker thats restomod.
period correct = ok
restomod=laughable at best but will probably make me throw up, I order a white dash pad from mustangs plus and now they send me catalogs and news letters with all those horrid cars of theirs in there...newer does not = better that is why krperf got pwned

RE: GT-500 or Eleanor
its cool knuckless, i think its kind of dumb how restomodders now consider everything restomod, people were modifying mustangs with cragars and ar wheels long before restomods heck my dad has a picture of him with a friends 68 shelby from around 69-70 and he hadar wheels that were similar to cragar nomad II'son that car so its not like its a sin

why dont you ask me if i put the wheels on, then insult me
1st - the wheels came with the car when i bought it
2nd - i dont even know what kind of wheels they are
3rd - those wheels seem to be time period correct, ive seen a couple other 68's with them, so dont make it seem like im making my car a restomod
4th - never said i hated restomods, i just dont like them and there not my style
5th - we each have our own likes and dislike, i never insulted anyone who made a restomod, i just said there not my style

RE: GT-500 or Eleanor
I love the technology that the Eleanor craze brought to the market. As a direct result of that stupid movie, they have started reproducing the 67 fastback. Now, I ask you, does it get any better than that???
The suspension pieces built for that car have caused an explosion of superior handling kits compared to what was on the market before.
That being said, I'd do a GT500 clone complete with an FE and late model, rack and pinion setup with the killer suspension.
Yeah. Thats the ticket.

RE: GT-500 or Eleanor
I'm fine with Eleanors. Build as many as you want, cuz they look and drive good. But quit cutting up original Fastbacks to do it, and never destroy a Shelby. I'd like to build my own variation of one someday, but if I do it will be off one of these bodies, not harming a part of history...
