What is a proper Mustang? They just added two of them to the game.

Overall shape of a 1967 Shelby GT500/Eleanor bodykit

Front lights from a 1970 Ford Mustang

Rear lights from a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda

 

Even though I did say the Tampa was a Boss 302, I still hope this does have the options from A Boss 302/Mach 1, that would be a dream come true.

One that looks like it came out of a Ford factory rather than one that comes pre-customised to match one from a movie. It's like if the Deluxo came stock with a bunch of wires coming off it and flux capacitors and sh*t.

I think the rear lights are taken from the 08 Saleen Mustang.

i knew those rear lights couldve been something else, although they sorta look like the cuda lights.

 

i know someone who owns one of those s281 mustangs.

It's nice but modders have beaten them to it with a better design IMO.

Trust me, I have an idea. Ever since I started playing GTA(January 2014) I wanted to see an old school Mustang, and now we have Eleanor... it's like the dream come true.

Welp,considering this model comes from Mafia 3 (where it's called Berkley Stallion) , it's Hangar 13 that did the better design

Ill reserve my mild disappointment until I see what kind of mods it has. I fully expect every car in this update to have plenty of appearance options, including the ability to de-Shelby this one by at least a feature or two. But, if not, its close enough for me to be happy. Im sure if I painted one black, as is, it would look fine for me.

Most of the car is in fact just regular Shelby Mustang, not a whole lot of Eleanor in there.

 

The bigger ducktail spoiler and the gas cap are pretty much the only Eleanor specific parts

 

Edit: NVM the spoiler isnt that big.

Well,and obviously the bumpers are from the Eleanor

 

 

 

Honestly,i would have rather had the original Eleanor,being the Mustang Mach1

The biggest Shelby features that jump out at me are the window louvers (which are optional on the dominator) and the front bumper (which most new cars have widely varied options for nowadays). Beyond that, Im not surprised at all that its a blend of different models, thats how it always goes. Very hopeful for a slightly more Mach 1 / fastback look.

The front bumper is not an "Eleanor" part.

 

It is from the '65 Shelby GT350R

 

They just happened to use that bumper on Eleanor.

 

The rear isn't Eleanor or a stock Mustang. Looks like a custom blended in bumper with center exit exhausts.

I can't really understand the hate Eleanor gets. Would I have preferred a Stock Mustang with options for Eleanor? Yes.

 

But still, Eleanor is one of the better looking Restomods imo (when I Think of all those other hideous designs for Corvettes, Chargers, etc).

It's still fairly clean and as Mach mentioned even the GT350R had a bumper like this.

 

Whatever it is, I love that they implemented this car at last. Imo they could've f*cked up this up way more.

^ very true. Definitely one of the last cars to drip out though, the cars I want most always are.

Those wheels... a mod?

 

 

 

Also if someone could upload a pic of the engine I'd be most grateful.

I knew Id like it better in black. Switching away from that typical dark steel also makes it look less like the Eleanor. Thanks dude

Oh really?? I havent seen the full site listings yet. That would be amazing news! Edited by NT2YIELD

I'm buying at least two of these.

Buying 10. I've had an empty 10 car garage for years waiting for this.
