Heres a question that’s sure to get some varying opinions from all of you… I’ve been tossing around the idea of turning a 4-door (or 2-door) 66/67 Ford Fairlane into a sort of “Eleanor” recreation. As in, replicating the paint scheme, side pipes, wheels and using a similar front bumper, grille, and hood to the Eleanor Mustang from the newer version of Gone in 60 Seconds. I always loved that car, but owning one is way out of the question for financial reasons. My reason for choosing a Fairlane to use for this act of possible lunacy is that my family was given one that was in very rough shape when I was about 14. I fell in love with that car instantly, even though it never ran or even rolled while in our possession. It is long since gone, but I had always dreamed of fixing that car up to the description you read above. So my real question is, what is your opinion of such a car? Do you like the idea, or does it make you want to vomit? I thought it would be a very interesting, unique and just plain cool car when completely finished. If you don’t like the idea, do you have any others as to how I could go about making a unique Fairlane? Thanks in advance for your input!
Hello, I found a car at Craigslist.com. I have talked to the person selling the car and they have lowered the price from 4800 to 4100. This car is in mint condition and it is hard to believe that they would sell it for this much. My family is sure that it is a scam but I wanted to get another opinion.
Here is the email she sent me with the details of her transaction. I am in CA, USA by the way.
Hi again,I hope you are serious and you are not trying to take advantage of me now when i need money.
