1967 GT500 Eleanor: Re-imagining a Classic

Photo of the Day

The Photo of the Day comes from the Lowrider Facebook page for this 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible.

Like most people that are into cars, I like the odd driving game on my PC. If I spent more time playing PC games, I would probably get into some sort of racing simulator to make it even more realistic. However, I don't think that I would ever consider the F1 simulator that is being released by Costco. The simple reason is that it is going to cost $140,000!! If I had that sort of money, I would be buying real cars and not a simulator. However, if you have recently won the lotto and want to splurge some money, this could be for you. This device is a full scale F1 replica and is made to order. Oh, and the good news is that the price includes delivery and installation. Get all the details at the Age.

Carroll Shelby created it, “Gone in 60 Seconds” re-imagined it, and audiences around the world made it famous. The 1967 Shelby GT500 Eleanor is one of the most recognizable movie cars of all time. With the body lines of a shark, the stage presence of a movie star and the perceived performance of an Olympic athlete, it’s no wonder die-hard enthusiasts fell in love with this amazing machine. BIG MUSCLE received so many requests for this car that we just had to go out and find one. So now sit back, click play and enjoy… and don’t bust my chops in regards to my glasses – it was really sunny that day.

	By: retroman 10/26/2012 1:58 PM It truly is a beautiful car, and I never would have thought Chip Foose could improve on Shelby's work in preparation for the most amped up movie remake of all time. I can't afford a genuine Shelby commissioned GT500E, but I did buy the nitrous switch and shifter knob for both my '66 Mustang vert and my '87 Fiero. That way, I can pretend to be Nick Cage all day long... Someone should remake the Bullitt chase scene with NOS and CGI Nick Cage and Steve McQueen duking it out with the two most famous Mustangs. Don't forget the Charger though. That would be trippy.
