    Another great episode!
    When I finally got around to watch the original Gone in 60 seconds, I realized that the massive final jump scene is two blocks from my house. Kinda cool.

    Chip Foose DID NOT design or sketch this car. It was hot rod designer Steve Stanford.
    Chip was commissioned to build the car based on Steve's concept

      @CarStarz42 honestly just google steve stanford Eleanor sketch and you can easily see his concept is pretty much identical to the end product. Foose made it a reality but it's not his kind of design. He removes stuff and smoothes out lines. The Eleanor GT500 has a full add on bodykit with stick on arches etc etc, nothing like the stuff foose comes up with.

    The best 1967 gt500 fastback copy of Eleanor are built here in Norway.
    If I remember right, I think the guy whom built it,had aprox 10 thousands hours of work documented down to ever single f-ing bolt, nut, spring,clips and screw used.
    So when you bought the car, you would get like 100 + document folders with pictures of the entire build.
    I had the honor to see this exact replica of Eleanor a few years back. Standing parked by the side of the road ,with a few people taking pictures and I almost drove into the ditch😅
    That car is so SPECTACULAR and RIDICULOUSLY gorgeous on screen,but in real life.... Omg.. I tear up and get emotional just thinking about it ❤❤

      There are several issues with the film but the jump scene was a major factor and even people not familiar with the original point to that scene as bad.
      I saw the film as less of a remake (it barely follows the original story at times) but more as a loose sequel.

    Nice video. I also liked the 72 Elenor that was passed off as a 73. It’s good that the reproduction industry now offers complete fastback body shells js a great thing so they don’t have to further deplet the supply of originals for movie disasters. FWIW - I think Carroll Shelby wanted to build as many as 50 67 Super Snakes, but 427s were in such short supply that Shelby America even had to substitute the 428 PI for the 427 in Cobra roadsters.
    Also, with a good block, a 351W can be bored and stroked all the way to 460 cubic inches.

    It's a pity Dynacorn Mustang bodies weren't available then , it would have saved genuine cars from getting wrecked. I'm rarely ever impressed with Chip Fooses customization, I dont like his taste, an original GT500 looks far better IMO .Apparently Carroll Shelby wasnt 100 percent in favor of using big blocks in his Cobras or Mustangs, he preferred the lighter 289 ci , for more balanced handling, he said in an interview that it was Ford that wanted the big blocks used.

    In 1976 when I was 17 years old. One of my high school friends older brother had bought a brand new 1968 Shelby GT 500. He wanted to sell it and I said I'll take it. Now the house that I grew up in had no garage or access to the backyard. We just had a carport which when the cab-over camper wasn't in the bed of the truck it lived on the carport. I told my Late Dad we need to buy this car. And Dad said we don't have any place to park it. So I just kept driving my first car which was a 1965 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS.

    you know honestly I kinda wish someone would do a hybrid design with more of the classic elements, as the back and the sides look great, but the original nose looks way better on the genuine article as it doesnt need that stupid blue light next to the headlights, and honestly I kinda prefer the gunsmith cats version of the 500, also there is another too
    the blue lady as its called, Jim Morrison's one, like that in its beautiful dark blue is a spectacle to behold, problem is proving if its genuine or not
    also funny thing about the engine, the 428 was chosen as it put out the very tip top of the performance of the 289 hi po that was in the 428 as a baseline without the need for special tuning or gas, and was reliable and easy to source given its literally a police interceptor motor
    the 427 was already too costly to produce and took too much time, which is why shelby lost the licence to do those cars with ford
    literally it was getting so bad that he sourced three shelby cobras with 428's given it was taking sometimes over 6 months to get the cars out thanks to the motor alone
    and once lee got wind of it he bought him out and made their own version with the 68 king of the road, which kind of a luxury hybrid version of the 500, a really nice car in its own right
    but by them ford was kinda making their own super hopped up ones with the bosses and the like so ford chose to basically dumb the shelby thing after 1970 and focus in on the mach's and the bosses
    and they did make some fine ones at that too, but the main reason for the lore behind the 65 to 67 is because of the luxury switch of the 68, and theirs even a road test of it here on youtube
    and that thing handled despite its heft, its one of those really dumb things where its kinda like people arguing over ferrari's, the real ones that arent mass produced
    if you like it you like it and who cares what the other guy says you've got a shelby, a boss or a mustang mach 1
    they were all great cars, and far better than their GM contemporaries, atleast until 1975

    I saw the movie car that sold at Mecum and the fit and finish on the car was awful. But being it was one of the actual movie cars is the only reason it brought the high hammer price , because it so wasn’t because it was a quality build. And once the female from the original movie lost her law suit, anyone can call their car an Eleanor. In the Mustang community everyone was very happy about that. Before she lost her law suit she actually was able to take someone’s build because they call it Eleanor. Then that where the licensed cars came to play. They would pay to be able to use the name Eleanor and then after she lost the lawsuit, you didn’t have to have an officially licensed car to use the name Eleanor, then that made us all wonder how much money was wasted, buying an officially licensed Eleanor car versus just building one yourself.

    Fun fact: the case took ten years to settle because the original judge, not knowing the movie, thought Eleanore was like a cartoon character like Cars. When the final judge finally heard the case he basically called her crazy for thinking she can own another persons creation just by modifying it with a name.

      Yeah, Foose sure seems to think he did anyway; regardless, they both had a part in the car's design and it's still more Shelby styling than anything else anyway, so no biggie 😉
