"Eleanor"

For those of you who know anything about cars you know what I’m talking about. Heck, even if you’ve seen gone in sixty seconds you’ve heard of the infamous “Eleanor”. And for you non car lovers the name of the car is not really that at all but it’s a beautiful 1967 Mustang GT500. Anyone in their right mind, well unless you’re strictly a Chevy guy, would take this car. It’s a fast piece of art that led the mustangs to the promise land.

It all started back in 66 when mustang created the 289 powered 350GT. Well even though a 350 is a pretty damn fast car, a lot of muscle cars had them or a 305 or a 385. But ford just decided to take a huge leap in 67’ and bring out the 428 big block AKA the GT500. Only 2050 were actually built in 1967 so this is a very rare car and if you think about how fast these cars are its pretty much impossible to get an original. If you’re looking to get your hands on an original and you find one be prepared to spend $100,000+.

This is another one of the cars I’d like to have in my collection, I think I need to hit the lottery. But seriously cant a guy dream….more like drool, but still! These cars are just little pieces of a dream world for me but hey maybe someday I’ll get at least one of my dream cars. My next blog is going to be over the new 2008 500GT, so if you liked this one, just you wait.
