You, sir, made an excellent choice!! I will someday too own an Eleanor! Have fun with her, make sure that you watch the Gone In 60 Seconds (only the part when you see Eleanor) before you pick it up.

1. The car pictured will be coming to CA from TX. I wanted the reverse colo scheme black w/ grey stripes but if you've ever owned a unique black car
it's like being married to a stripper!!!

2. well it drives hard and tight - kind of imagine an M3 e46 and a Viper had a baby and put it on steroids.
Enourmous Power.. LOUD LOUD.
