Eleanor -- A movie star made for you


There are Mustangs and there are Mustangs. While many cars are able to hold their identity through the decades (Porsches, Beemers and Benzes come to mind) most American iron have marques that only last until the next quarter's sales results.


Not so with Ford's vaunted pony. Sure, there have been good ones, bad ones, and everything in between, but they all have had an undeniable Mustang look for almost half a century.


If you have a hankering for restoration, any Mustang is a good investment, but if you're looking to be a legend, grab onto a 1967 Shelby GT and have at it.

This beauty, Eleanor, was created for the Nicholas Cage movie, 'Gone in 60 Seconds,' and was so popular it has been recreated for car crazies by an outfit in Oklahoma called Classic Recreations.' (click headline).

Think you could pick up a junker and give them a run for their money? You would need to come in under $190,000! Click 'read more' for the specs.
