IN case you missed it, here's the skinny: they visited Unique Performance, the same place that builds the Eleanor cars. Now they have apparently run out of decent fastback Mustangs, so they're expanding. They're building Foose-designed '69 Camaros, supposedly 500 of them. Not only that, but they are building some Eleanor convertibles and sold the prototype at Barret-Jackson for (better sit down) $550,000! Are people insane? I'd like to know how someone stupid enough to blow that kind of money on a "continuation" car (i.e.- CLONE) could be smart enough to make that kind of money in the first place. I consider myself to be smart enough to know the difference between a real collectable car (Shelby Mustang, RS/SS Camaro, Hemi 'Cuda, etc.) and a car that cannot possibly hold it's value, such as the Eleanor cars. For instance, we all wish we'd bought a real Shelby when they were affordable, right? But they aren't affordable now and never will be again, so deal with it, you missed out. That's what makes them collecters cars, their history and mystique that goes with owning "one of the few that are left". You can't say that about the Eleanors because they're still cranking them out! I see GT500E's on ebay periodically for half what they sold for originally. Don't the idiots buying them do any research at all? I'm going to make a prediction here and now: the Unique cars will see a horrendous drop in value soon. They are not handcrafted supercars, but rather bondo-packed parts cars built not by craftsmen and artisans, but by average (at best) bodymen who may well have been working at a Maaco or Earl Schiebs last month. Bet on it.
I saw it, And was hoping for somethine alittle more from Foose.
