Most automotive enthusiasts know what an Eleanor Mustang looks like. The iconic movie car from "Gone In 60 Seconds" is well known and popular among collectors and builders of muscle car clones. To thousands of movie fans, it's a perfect example of a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang. That's the trouble with Eleanor, it is a movie prop, and not an accurate example of a 1967 GT500.
To those of us who have been Mustang fans from the start, Eleanor is not very close to a real "67" Shelby GT500. The hood and front end styling are all wrong. And, "67' GT500's never had side exhaust. Eleanor is simply a customized Mustang, with a few Shelby details, built as a movie "stand in" for the role of a Shelby GT500. In my opinion, the hood and front end are some of the best details of the original 1967 Shelby GT500. Sorry Eleanor fans, but I prefer the real thing.
