Eleanor rules. Never any doubt about that. Accept the truth, you'll live longer and feel better about it. Long live Eleanor. The car that saved the classic Mustang hobby. That's Eleanor.

I don't know if I would go as far as saying that Eleanor "saved" the Mustang hobby, but I would say that she gave the hobby the preverbial shot of nitrous. She brought a lot of new comers to the hobby and a respect for what a classic Mustang can look like in the hands of a great design crew which includes Chip Foose. But many of us have been in the hobbie since the Mustang came out and I've been involved since high school when I bought my first stang, a 70 fastback. I fell in love with them and though my life and my budget took me away from owning my second one for about 15 years, I never lost my love for them nor did I ever stop following the hobbie.
With all that said, I too love the look of Eleanor and would love to have one of the Super Snake Eleanors with 725HP. But I know that will never be in my budget and I think of Eleanor as a cool car to see and look at; but realistically I am totally happy just having my 66 fastback, before Eleanor the car that I fell in love with.
Now if only we could get the younger generation to stop fooling around with those import cars and build some american cars. Teach your kids right (American) from wrong (Import).

I couldn't agree more. However unfortunately "she" also drove prices into the stratosphere on many parts and body shells.

FYI:

I know for a fact and have seen the parts in person, that there is another company that is going to be designing QUALITY '05 eleanor parts at much better prices. Dont know when he is going to disclose everything to the public. I have seen the gt500 hood his company designed on his '05...so, you may want to save your pennies.

Oh believe me, it hasn't been overlooked. If you had more than 10 posts here you would realize it has been debated here to death. Let's try to keep it to 50 words or less next time. Your protests are as bad as the whining.
