1968 FORD MUSTANG Lot 719 | Barrett-Jackson Auction Company

I read the ad but it's not clear. Is this one of the "new" Elenore cars?


..... Looks ballsy! :)

More like a Mustang version of a Singer 911...

Good looking car but what is a 500KR going for? I mean an original KR not a "singer" version

Seems you could duplicate the car for under $100K.

It look like a ricer had his way with it. :rolleyes:

Initial thought was I like but the pic of the front grill and lights, not so much. Can that even be considered a '68?

I was always obsessed with the new Gone in 60 seconds as a kid, so this car had and probably always will have a certain coolness to me. I know it was all fake, but the sounds the car "made" in the movie always mesmerized me.

Ug-lee

Not my cup of tea.

exactly!

That did it for me too. I'll never forget how that car looked on screen.

You could, with money left over. body shells are $10,000, so go from there. I've noticed many cars at the BJ auction are going for much less than just a few years ago. I'm not surprised, given the economy, but somebody is taking a bath. There are some "bargins" there for sure, just depends on what bargain means to each.The Mustang above looks like all the other Elenore mustangs from a few years ago. There must be tons of those around.

it's the wrong gone in 60 seconds car.

That new one is a commercial joke, nothing rare about it..

Like to do a show about buyers remorse after these auctions.

"Great I just spent 80 grand on a 1970 nova with rare matching numbers almost like the one I drove in HS, but after a drive I realizes it still just a Nova...dang...and I only paid 75 dollars for my first one...."

Absurd. Its a freaking clone.

Look at the seam where the hood meets the body. Nice kit car build standards.

The guy had about $85k in the car. I saw it go through and I kept saying to myself "I'm missing something.....". I don't understand how a clone (a very well equiped Stang) sold for $220k when a real GT500KR sold around $77k. I guess the old saying is true....A fool and his money shall soon depart.

More later.

Gahh. I hate Elanors almost as much as the new Shelby GT500s. So ugly.

Boss 302s and classic GT350s are so much better looking.

No, it's just a custom build some guy had done on a 1968 Mustang. But Well Set Up!:
