ELEANOR PROJECT HELP??????????????

[ENVY BANG-RUH]

Hey btf'ers,

Anytime we've had a thread that mentions a car or something, Eleanor always seems to become involved in it. I've been trying to find an un-restored 1967 Ford GT500, but have had no luck. If you've heard of something in a grapevine about and un-restored piece, please let me know. It's probably going to be impossible to look for it, its only a matter of luck. The other car I can/wanna use is a 1967 Mustang Fastback. And again, same as the info about the GT500, if you hear something or know of someone wanting to get rid of one, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. It'll be greatly appreciated.

I need a project car to work on, and I think Eleanor would be the best project period.


Yours truly,

Kamalpreet

there is a group called unique motorsports (i believe) who build these cars just like eleanor and sell them... they were also the same company who built the car for the movie gone in 60 seconds... that would be your best bet, though i imagine they would charge a lot...

yea, it'd be atleast 150K. thats why i want to find one myself, and work on it.

correction, their name was unique performance...

You are going to have to start going to small private auctions. BUT ARE YOU NUTS. The chances of finding one of those is tinyyyyy

IMO a great place to start would be with a Purebread american muscle car such as the Cuda, stang, camero, etc.

 

[panic! at the bhangra]

envy, if you find one, lemme know where at. i'm looking too [seriously]. but i've been searing ebay and craigslist and once in awhile something will pop up. i think your best bet is going to be through an owner or a private vendor. i doubt you'll find one at an auction without it being ridiculously priced..
