Watched TV3 news last night, had a short piece on the Yank Muscle Car show on over the weekend.
Told us about Murph's new project car , a rather tasty Dodge Charger.
What made me laugh is how they said it is a replica of "Eleanor" off the movie "Gone in 60 secs"....
errr,...ain't that a Ford Shelby Mustang in the movie? :facepalm:
Ah they thick?

Me too :facepalm:. 'Eleanor' is a '67 fastback gt500. Not a Dogde at all. There is a Dodge in the first Fast and Furious though......

What a pair of retards. Go watch it "on demand"

The story stated "Murph commisioned so-and-so to build it after seeing a replica he'd built of Eleanor from Gone in 60."

Having seen the replica, i'm inclined to agree.

OOPPS, must've misheard that bit. Makes more sense now.

Looked evil in bare metal - I'd be tempted to shoot a coat or two of satin clear over it and leave it as it was.

I am sure it had different wheels on each side too.

One trend I'm not keen on on old school builds is putting the modern wheels with low profile tyres. I'm a bit old school and like more rubber and deep dish wheels on the older rides.
