I'm hoping Ford will build a special edition Mustang celebrating the GT500 like they did for the Bullitt (2001) and Mach I (2003).

But that's a thread for another day! :cool:

Oh, goodness, it's a car. And an old car! I don't get it. :rolleyes: Does it have A.C.? It's too old to have air bags and anti-lock breaks. Did they even have seat belts back then? And what's that big bump on the front hood? You could fit a lot more people in a van. :)
 
Beautiful car!!
 
Nice thread, Scott, thanks. Those '60 era Mustangs were some great cars. Wish I had one.
 
Did they really give that car billing on that film?
 
I want it!
One of these days.
 
I will have to forward this thread to Jim, this is his all time fave movie. :rolleyes:
:) Thanks, Scott!

Here's Carrol Shelby with two of Eleanor's siblings....
