[ONYX S-13]

I want a shelby GT500 exactly like that...! Damn that car looks good:wackit:

[M.Piedlourde]

Heh, you and about a zillion other people. :D

There are tons of "Eleanor conversion" Mustangs on the auto auction circuit right now.

[Steeles]

theres a company that does turnkey Eleanors conversions. price was like 60 grand if YOU found the chassis IIRC

forgot i saved that link :D

eleanor is my desktop right now how ironic

[ONYX S-13]

THANK YOU FOR THAT LINK....I'm not sure to be happy or sad...I don't think I'll ever have one. I can always fantacize about having one *Sigh *:hsdance:

[HaLo]

It's a lovely car... but with rising gas prices, who would want that? :D

[ONYX S-13]

It's cool..I'd still want one..I'd just use it every once and a while..I got the 240 for a daily driver.Even though it's gettin pretty expensive to even drive that..I put 20 bucks in there and it just barely got me over a half a tank . I remember the good 'ol days when that used to give me pretty much a full tank.:cry:

[S14Speed997]

They had the car from the movie, yes, the actual car at the Tampa auto show last year..With a authentic papers, and a huge action photo...


That thing was supa sexxxy.........!! More people were hovering around that thing than the Enzo.. :coold:

[MakotoS13]

it's like 30K just for PARTS for the reproduction car.

i was considering a musclecar buildup before going the way of the S13

[nocomedown]

there was one of those at the dallas auto show a while back. it had hotness down to an art form.
(sorry for the poor picture, but you get the idea)

[West]

[ONYX S-13]

[Dutchmalmiss]

[Omnis]

Does anyone recall having seen that company that redoes C5 Corvettes to look look like the Mach 5? Speaking of watching things and coming to desire what we are seeing, I was in Best Buy Tuesday and realized that vol. 2 of the speed racer collection (episodes 12-23):

http://image.allmusic.com/13/adg/cov200/drt400/t446/t44662b49xx.jpg

...came out that morning and remembered a few months back someone was telling me that there is a company that basically re-skins a C5 vette with the Mach 5 body. Wouldn't that be some SHIT to see out on the street?

[S14Speed997]

That guy is selling from Tampa/St. Pete, I gotta find this place and get some photos of me "fake drivin" !

The C5 would be hot-hotness!!!!! I would want the Dale Earnhardt/Ron Fellows edition...That was the last race Dale Sr. finished at Daytona, the Rolex 24 and I was there...those things own

I'd prefer to have the Mach 5 myself, but WHO is this mysterious Racer X?

Anyway, getting back on topic. Yeah, Eleanor is cool. Nick Cage is kind of a putz in general, but the car in that movie is awesome. And of course, who can forget Angelina Jolie? :drool: Anyone ever seen the anime "Riding Bean"? There's a cool GT500 in it that one of the cops drives. Gets wrecked, unfortunately.

[ONYX S-13]

Racer x's car reminda me of a womans shoe...I don't like it..Waaaayyyy too pointy

[Steeles]

I love Riding Bean!!! hahah Great Anime!
