Am I the only one who thinks Eleanor looks awful?

Perfect way to ruin a classic Mustang, those weird lights and droopy modern-esque bodywork. I hate it.

I thought it looked good at the time. Now, not so much.

I tend to agree. Plus so many people in the US have Eleanor kit Mustangs now it’s not rare to see one at a show.

By today’s standards, it would be just another gaudy restomod and not even a good one. But when it was originally in the movie, it was one of the first of its kind, so it was a big deal.

It hasn’t aged well.

I don’t think it’s awful but I don’t think it’s as gorgeous as everyone says. How many different sets of lights need to be randomly stuck to the front?

It would’ve been better if they used a Fox Body.

The original without those “subtle modifications that add up” looks so much better...

I don’t think it looks bad, just really overdone.

Nope! On a vehicle in which you can get away without the modern bodywork, why have it?

Nope, I don’t like how they look. I don’t mind people changing the looks of classics, it’s just not to my taste...

I prefer things a bit more restrained...

Original Eleanor, (beginning of and end of movie versions) is still sex on wheels. Hell yesh.

No, you aren’t the only one. About all I can stand of it is the hood and color combo, the rest of it is blech. I know people that for some reason idlolize this car and I think they really need their eyes checked.

Looks like a ruined classic car.
