Tonight I came across an Eleanor clone for sale on Ebay Australia. It’s not often you see one for sale in Australia so i always like to look at what other Aussies have done.
Here are the particulars:
“This is a no expense spared restoration. 347 Windsor stroker engine. Scat crank and rods, Speedpro pistons, Moly Plasma Rings, ARP main studs, stud girdle, ARP Head Studs, aluminum cylinder heads with stainless steel valves, billet roller rockers, billet solid camshaft, dual idler gear drive, Gilmer Drive, Weiand intake, Holley carburetor, many billet accessories and stainless steel coolflex hoses, Alloy radiator, Derale thermo fan, world class T5 Temec 5 speed transmission with PBR hydraulic clutch.
Ford 9″ rear with 3.5 LSD centre. Power assisted brakes and quick ratio steering, Selby springs and sway bar, Monte Carlo bar and tower braces, correct 17×8 wheels with 245/40 R17 tyres, new deluxe interior complete with aluminum door and dash panels, Shelby scuff plates, Shelby wood steering wheel with Pioneer sound system, Autometer tacho, functional side exit exhaust and correct side mounted fuel filler. Correct cinema vehicles body kit, Shelby badges and mirrors. Show quality 2pac paint in correct Pepper Grey and metallic black. This is possibly the best Eleanor clone in Australia with almost every part used is NEW or rebuilt. This is a show quality, trophy winning vehicle with awesome looks performance and handling with excellent investment potential.”
I’m not sure about it being the best clone in Australia. It’s far from movie correct, for one the steering wheel, side mirrors, rear brake light trim and headlights all differ, though I’m not trying to pick it at and after all, my car has HID Xenon’s for the main headlights and that wasn’t in the movie. Is it just me or does the paint look a little darker than it should be?
The car certainly is a nice car and i’ll be VERY interested to see if it sells and for how much. It’s great to see good resto-mods here in Australia and hopefully in time we’ll see a lot more, especially with the Dynacorn bodies hitting the market.
Cam, Just looks like it’s not sitting as nice as it could. Wheels not filling the gaurds interesting to see what is sell’s at indeed. Matbe the paint is a dupont branded paint that always seems to make a difference.
Still a very nice car would like to see it in person:->
I can still recall the days when you could buy a Eleanor mustang for about $80 grand, but now just afew years later your “standard” base model eleanor sells for around $119,000! thanks to Unique Performance. I still believe that they are selling those cars at prices that most people can not afford. The most I would ever invest or pay for a Eleanor mustang is about $80,000 and not a penny more.
P.S I am currently working on my own “Eleanor Project” and I was wonder if anyone knows where Unique Performance gets there Eleanor Mustangs painted.
Please contact me if you or anyone else knows.
Thanks!
[...] Eleanor replicas on ebay are no big deal these days, just see here. But you don’t often see them on ebay in Australia. I previously reported on one that was up for sale. Not the best car but good to see one in Australia. Now another has popped up. Again this one is kind of a half-replica. Parts of the kit, the paint and the wheels. [...]
Would anyone know where i could get a set of carroll shelby signed tacho’s, the ones that unique used on the 67-68 eleanor projects.. Any help would be great. Cheers Andre’

Hello all – what is a reasonable price these days for an Eleanor? What are you selling yours for Elliot and have you sold it?
Marcus – are you still looking for a car and if so what is your budget? If you have bought what did you pay.
