    After the movie (Gone in 60 seconds) A body shop in US started to collect the old mustangs and turn then into Eleanors.

    They sells heaps of them now.

    Every thing in the cars have been replaced with brand new gear.

    Don't really like it.

    Loved the original, remake.. meh. Those lights look comparable to ferrari lights on a Z. Cheapens it.

    Haha omfg, thats the exact same one

    that i saw on manning road about 2 days ago, was going to post it on the boards but with no pics it meant nothing, on my way to curtin uni i saw the rear end of that in the distance and thought, what the hell is that, put the foot down and caught up to it and saw it was this exact one, those rims are absolutely MASSIVE in the flesh, i thought he was rolling on 20's (well it looked like it when he was driving), my god it turned heads let me tell u.....

    That's it now, I'm selling my Z and getting one of those...

    Just kidding!!!!!!!

    Been there done that. My old man had the 68 GT 500 Shelby Cobra Mustang. On the passenger door it had "Ford Special Performance Vehicle". Special in deed.

    He had it for about 20yrs and I know those cars like the back of my hand as we worked on it a fair bit to maintain it.

    Now they cost a shit load of money if you can find a genuine one.

    This car throws me back to the good old days. I'd say Ford have done a brilliant job resurecting this beast.

    You really have to own one to appreciate it.

    Still love the Z32 though and I don't take it for granted.

    yeah i'd have one...

    love the looks of it...

    but is it just me or do those brake rotors just look a little too small for that sort of car?? I'm assuming it would have a fair bit of weight, but it seems to have piss ant brakes.....

    Cheers

    nice car

    im just not sold on the pale green/silver colour....
    the other thing is i think it may be alittle over detailed in some places,so much going on with the bodywork it takes away from the overall feel of the car....
    probly not cheap either....
    still a nice car overall though
