Wabbit Season!
Why waste your ammo?DarkBuddha said:Can I proclaim it OPEN SEASON ON ELEANORS?
Ewwww!!! I don't want none of what you got. I've heard you get it from going with those Eleanwhores... Some kind of STD (Sudden Tastelessness Disease).The Hopkinator said:Come get ya some....
I gotta give it to ya there... As much as I don't like Eleanor the movie car (and its clones), that car has done wonders for our cars' values. I mean, 5 years ago, you could still find '67-'68 fastbacks in driver condition for under $7k, and often as low as $4500. Now those prices are just for rusted hulls and total project cars. And now folks think every Mustang with stripes like that is another Eleanor... The really sad thing is, I'm not sure I'm being sarcastic, or if this is actually a good thing...The Hopkinator said:yeah !! Mean ol Eleanor, shes done so much bad stuff for the hobby !!!

NOT TO MENTION MUSTANGS IN GENERAL ...., EL AWAKENED THE HOBBY, PUT NEW LIFE INTO IT. ANY TRUE MUSTANG FANATIC CANNOT DISPUTE THAT.

YEAH, BUT WHO WAS LOOKIN FOR EM ..? THATS WHY YOU COULD INDEED FIND THEM ALL DAY AT THAT PRICE.... THEY WERE SITTING EVERYWHERE ROTTING TO THE GROUND. NOW THEY ARE BEING RESTORED, BE IT INTO ELEANOR OR A RESTO-MOD, OR ORIGINAL. WHY ? BECAUSE OF ELEANOR. NO OTHER REASON. IF GISS HAD USED A 67 FIREBIRD AS ELEANOR, WELL, THE 67 AND 68 MUSTANGS THAT ARE NOW BEING REBUILT WOULD STILL BE ROTTING TO THE GROUND, AND THE FIREBIRDS WOULD BE IN HIGH DEMAND. THERES NO DENYING THIS.
And now folks think every Mustang with stripes like that is another Eleanor...
TRUE DAT, BUT HEY, .. SERIOUSLY,, WHO CARES ?? THINK ABOUT IT. IF SOME GUY THAT WOULDNT HAVE EVER GIVEN YOUR STANG A SECOND GLANCE, NOW , BECAUSE HES SEEN GISS AND LIKED ELEANOR, AND NOW MUSTANGS, THINKS YOU HAVE A COOL CAR , ISNT THAT STILL BETTER THAN HIM CHOOSING TO SCOPE OUT THAT 4 DOOR HONDA WITH THE GARGANTUAN RACE WING AND THE FART MUFFLER INSTEAD??
I KNOW THAT SOME GUY THAT NEVER CARED FOR MUSTANGS OR MUSCLECARS AT ALL UNTIL HE SAW ELEANOR IS NOT AS GREAT AS HAVING SOME DIE HARD MUSTANG GEAR HEAD COME UP AND SLOBBER ALL OVER YOUR RIDE, BUT AT LEAST THAT OTHER GUY SWINGS FOR THE HOME TEAM. IRREGARDLESS (sorry Blake ,said it again) OF HOW HE CAME ON BOARD, AT LEAST HES THERE. !
The really sad thing is, I'm not sure I'm being sarcastic, or if this is actually a good thing...
ITS A GOOD THING !! THINK ABOUT THIS TOO. IVE HAD A BUNCH OF MUSTANGS. BUT WHEN I SAW GISS I HAD A 69 JUDGE ID RESTORED. I SAW ELEANOR, FELL BUTT OVER TIN CUP IN LOVE, AND NOW IM BACK HERE TO KEEP ALL YALL ENTERTAINED DEFENDING HER HONOR !!
Route666 said:Hey hop that's one sweet GT-500. I just noticed in the pic the BP sign says "Diesel car wash" WTF is that? Washing your car with diesel? Car wash for diesel cars only? Perhaps it was seperate saying they sell diesel and have a carwash. I just find it strange they would advertise they sell diesel, as all servos do here.
TireSmoknWindsr said:Hey hop any idea how big the classic stang population is in mooresville? I'll be there movin down in a month and I've yet to see any in my trips. About all I saw was 4 door sedans and Tahoes w/ 20" bling.
That car's a clone. '67's never came with the stainless rocker trim or red interiors. Neat car, but shame on him for trying to pass it off as the real deal. I love my clone, but I hate it when buttheads like that guy try to pass off theirs as genuine.The Hopkinator said:Hey Route,
Yeah, just advertising they have both the fuel and the car wash. That was in Mooresville , North Carolina, just outside Charlotte . Home of all the Cup Race teams. The guy said it was a real GT500, but the steering wheel was wrong , as were the wheels. Heres a side shot for ya.
