was hanging out with a few guys at this parking lot on roselle before i went out, and what pulls into the lot. ELENOR from gone in 60 seconds. same color, even sounded the same, same everything.

my frickin jaw hit the ground. i was standing around listening to him talk about the car. he used to own a race car, then sold it. bought this one. original paint was white with red stripes and then converted it.

he said the car is worth about 120k right now. it took him 40k just to restore it. he said he has everything the car had in the movie except for the sticker on the back bumper (cant remember what it said). hes thinking about putting limo tint all the way around.

immediately when he entered the lot and parked, like 30-40 people came over by his car. man what an awesome car.

then the cops came and had to ruin everything and kick people out. but what a site to see.

 

if youre that amazed by it, at least spell it right .. Eleanor.

 

im sorry, i forgot to use my comp spell check dictionary, thanks.

 

np

 

i hate how that car all of a sudden became all huge because of that crappy movie... not that special and the guys that model their cars after that car are :ghey:

 

from the movie or not, that car is still badass.

 

SORRY

 

i think the guy was bs'ing you, 120k is a little to much

Where on roselle?

 

dude...you need to take pics next time

 

Pics first, thread second.

 

i bet that thing is like sex on wheels. not that the chick knows what kinda car that is or what it can do, she'll just say "hey that's the car in that movie everyone wants. wanna fuck?"

 

from now on, all a-cl people are required to have a camera with them at all times.

 

i dont exactly where, cause im not too familiar, but its in between the ohare expressway and higgins road. its on roselle and theirs a jewel next to it as well.

 

sorry guys for the no pics. not one of my buddies had a digi or camera phone. and my one buddy who will die for that car (who has a 11 sec 67 mustang) was so pissed he didnt make it out that night.

i didnt see anyone else taking pics either, so i was in the same boat. im sure if he was up there once, he will be up there again, just a matter of when.

its been kind of slow lately cause the cops are being more strict. usually they let all of us hang out there, but their must have been stupid drivers to make the cops act like this.

CRAZY-lemme know if u ever wanna go to STREETS or burger king sometime. then i usually go to the bamboo room right after.

 

look at this, they start at 60k-90k, he said it was 40k just to restore and then he did the painting and all the add ons to make it look exactly like the movie. he couldve been exaggerating, but i wouldnt rule that 120k price out.

By the burger king?

 

its in the burger king. they all park in the burger king, in that pool hall parking lot, and if the night is big enough, they even park into the jewel lot as well.

 

Yea i used to go there.










When i was 19 :o

 

whats that suppose to mean?

their people up their in their 30's. hence eleanor.

im not there for the people, im there for the cars, regardless if their 16 or not, if they have sweet rides, thats all i care about.

 

It means I used to go but dont anymore since the cops breaking it up got annoying to me.

 

do you know any better places around that cops dont care. theirs a few places by me, but its prob an hr from u.

 

Must have been cool to see it in person.

 

actually, im not into the whole hot rod scene, even though my buddies have 55 chevy, 68 gto, and 76 mustang and all their friends.. i love em, but dont know what alot of them are called.

so when i asked my buddy what kind of car that was, he was like "are u fucking serious? its eleanor"

and i was like "okkkkk, what does that mean" and he just said gone in 60 seconds, and then i knew.

lol

 

here's my pic of Eleanor from the KC Auto show last year (if pic not there, blame imagestation)

 

red x for me
