I, for one, can't understand why anyone would prefer an Eleanor over a stock '67 Shelby. There is simply no comparison in terms of design and/or appeal.

They are for the RestoMod crowd. You know those guys who want the romance of a car from their youth but don't have the ability to deal with balky shifters and coughing carburetors. It also might be a deep pockets thing showing your buddies that sure there is the original with single stage orange peel paint and  then there is mine that I can see myself in. And don't forget don't you love my giant chrome wheels? I had the same ones on my Hot Wheels when I was a kid.

I guess I have been living under a rock.  This lawsuit is news to me, but not too surprised.  The article is a little confusing to me as it starts out by talking about the Eleanor models, but ends with the phrase, " The true value of all Shelby GT-500s is now secure with this news."  What would this ruling have to do with GT-500's built from 1967 to 1970?

My thoughts are I don't mind restomods but restomods of a real 67 Shelby styling not some cartoon car. I bet there are more "Eleanors" out there than real 67 Shelbys and clones of 67 Shelbys.

+1.  I'm trying to come up with something witty to say here, but I can't.  Ned, you are right on the mark and I couldn't agree with you more.
