From those 2 pictures it looks like it is all there for the most part and a solid foundation to start, get working on that thing forget about the s10!

That's the "Eleanor" bodystyle. Not the best loking, but still cool.

[redsdime]

i liked all style im a die hard stang fan but the 70 s did look to close to the mustang 2 and the stang 2 should never have been produced my opinion

[redsdime]

my dads is 71 mach 1

There's a yellow Mach 1 sitting out in a guys field beside my high school.. it's been there for as long as I can remember and never moved.. once every few years he'll put a tarp over it, but I think that's just becuase people keep asking about it.

[redsdime]

how could you do that to a car? i would never let a muscle car like that sit out not taken care of it

Money. It's easy to say what you would do, but old cars require money to restore/keep them up.

[redsdime]

i d at least buy a steel overhang for it

Eleanor is a 1971 Mustang Fastback.
(made to look like a 1973 Mach 1 for the film)


You posted a pic of that lame gay riced-out Mustang from the
lame remake. In no way can that Queerstang compare to the real Eleanor.


This is Eleanor:









That riced Mustang you posted from the remake coudn't do anything like
that. That's all real, no lame-ass shltty CGI driving.


Even after all that stunt work, the car is still going strong today:


The ricey bodykit on that Queerstang you think is badass would crack and
fall off if you don't pamper it (I know first hand).




The Queerstang from the remake should never be given the name Eleanor.
Nor should it have even been called a Shelby. It's a disgrace to both names.

Someone hit a soft spot.

It was released in 74, but actually filmed around 73.
It was re-edit into a new version called deadline: Auto Theft in 83.

Eleanor made a cameo appearance in the follow-up film called The Junkman in 82. She would probally have been in the 4th film, Gone In 60 Seconds 2, but it was never fully finished due to the accdent that killed HB Halicki (the creator, director, star, driver of all the 60 Seconds films) in 89. Even though it was never fully finished, the two main chase scenes that were shot have been edited together by his wife to release it as a mini film on DVD.


The car is a 71 Mustang. It was dressed up to look like a 73 Mustang Mach 1.

oh.
