On one hand, you've got creative and hard working folks who have invested a lot of time and money into making their car look like Eleanor, so a license plate saying "Eleanor Sucks" could damage the camaraderie at these events. on the other hand, I can sense that some really dont care for how the Eleanor craze has chopped up some good fastbacks. I am still amazed at how one movie can cause hundreds of clones of one restomod.

"mustangstofear" said:I would think a more appropriate tag would be Camero or Cuda. Why bash a Mustang? Next it will be Mustangs 2. I can tell you from a manufacture and a turnkey builder of the car it still is increasing in popularity everyday. I am still amazed at all the country's we ship to. If I were to see your tag it would not offend me. Rich.
"crustycurmudgeon" said:Mel touches on a good point--are you aware of the YOM (Year Of Manufacture) program which allows you to register a pair of vintage plates to your classic car?

Now your talking :thu. Rich."epic6" said:I wish I could find a camaro abbreviation that worked. I'm not getting that tag, just trying to start a little conversation on a rainy sunday afternoon in NorCal. How about IRS SUX.

I know it's all in good fun but on a serious note, while the Eleanor craze has driven the price of even junk FB's thru the roof, it has also generated so much interest that you can get nearly every single little part of a 67/68 new as well as some really cool modern upgrades that weren't available or popular before the movie. I have had at least one 67 since I was 15 and there was always more parts and interest in the 65/66's. Now the 67/68's are the most popular. I too have mixed feelings as I would like to have a fastback but anyone who has one thinks it's worth it's weight in gold."epic6" said:I've got mixed feelings about it.

it wasn't horrible but after Mr. Cage and Eleanor's"epic6" said:.... And I can't argue with the point about the movie/craze resulting in more parts availability, especially since I'm newb status and don't know how it was pre-Nicholas Cage. :shrug
