If your wanting to make a clone of Eleanor, the best bet would be a 67 fastback, but a 68 will do too, it just has a slightly different interior. The body parts and everything can be bought from the mustang depot web site. I beleive the color was a DuPont Fleet Pepper Gray Metallic, code number 44490. The stripes were Dupont Fleet Black Mettallic code number 44435.

Re: mustang eleanor
the gt-500 in gone in 60 seconmds wasnt a 67 gt-500 at all, it is a specialty car made by a company called unique performance down in texas, its basicly a 67 gt chassis with all custom everything else, they call it a 2003 gt-500E

They started making those after the movie was out. The car or two (can't remember how many they used) was a '67 Fastback Shelby Clone with an FRPP 351W crate motor in it. It was built around one of the legendary '67 GT-500 that got sneaked out with the 427 Side Oiler in place of the 428 Police Interceptor engine. The junky-looking builder at the end of the movie was the real thing, and has now been restored and is owned by I believe the director of the movie.

Re: mustang eleanor
A lot of people are building them. Makes more sence to me than to be in the Yellow Mustang Club I saw at Charlotte Auto Fair. They had on display the real Eleanor and I saw one clone there also .Rex

Why don`t you go to Ebay and buy a 1968 California Special or a 1966 through 1968 High Country Special? You can get a good one from anywhere between $10,000 and $30,000. I have a GT/CS and they are the next thing to become as expensive as the old Shelby`s. They made more Shelby`s in 68 than they did GT/CS`s. 1968 is the only year they made the GT/CS and not very people know they exsist because they are so rare. They are the ones with the taillights, foglights and side scoops like the Shelby. Shelby decided to produce a Shelby coupe since all they had so far was the fastback and convertible. After they made a prototype called the Green Hornet, Shelby decided not to produce them. Ford picked it up and produced them as the California Special`s. Go to www.californiaspecial.com to learn more. The High Country Special`s were produced between 66 and 68. The 68`s look just like the California Specials except for the side badges on the scoops where the stripes are. I`ll see you there! Rhonda
